ARKANSAS BRIEF

forts of the patrons have been more carefully considered than at Oalklawn Park, the Arkansas State Fair Gronnds. The elaborate $500.o0o grounds were wonderfully we'll equipped in every respect before the Fair Association began remodeling. There were complete water works, electric light and sewerage systems, etc. The Fair Association has added materially to each of these important factors. The double track trolley line enters the Grounds at the main gate and the electric car service over this line has been so arranged that 1t will amount to continual stream of cars from six o'clock in the morning until one o'clock the following morning. Five thousand passengers can be car ried each way within single hour. This is an unusual advantage, which, coupled with the modern gate system being established, will be of the great. est convenience to the public Two large check rooms are being built for the care of parcels. and a large DOT tion of the Park has been set aside as Rest Park" and is being equipped with seats and tables for the pleasure and service of the State Fair Visitors. An elaborate daily program and guide to the Grounds is being published which will be given away free to many thousand visitors, and will be we'll worth saving as a souvenir of the First State Fair. The extensive work of building added stables for the stock department, making the great Midway Pikes. shelving for the thousands of exhibits, equipping the Auditorium, and added electric lighting, etc, has been completed and the Grounds are in readiness just one month before the opening day of the State Fair. There will be no delay. On October 1st, the opening day of the Fair, everything will be as complete as on October 10th. the closing day. -.
