State Fair Management Makes Many
Changes and Improvements on
the Grounds this Year.

Dallas, Texas, August 22.-The
improvements which are being
made al the State Fair grounds
will he an agreeable surprise TO visi'
tors this fall. An almost com
plete change has been made in tAe
plan of the park, in accordance
with a design prepared by Geo. E.
Kessler. the landscape architect
who drew the plans Tor the worlds
fair grounds at 81. Louis. Nearly
all the old buildings have been
pulled down, and new ones sub
stituted for them on other sites, and
many new ones have been added
to the original number. The space
used Tor exhibits has also been re-
adjusted and extended. Amuse-
ment row will be located east OF
the race track grand stand on
ground heretofore occupied by
thirteen OF the race horse barns.
These barns have been placed in
the vicinity Of the livestock de.
partment. The new poultry build
| ing and the horticultural building
cover much OF the space between
the livestock department and Elk
position Hall, so that the fair this
year will extend all the way round
the race track. The demand ior
space for exhibits and for conces-
sions has been 80 much greater
than ever before that there will bt
no vacant spaces an the ground al
the 1906 fair. The city has put
forth every effort to make the park
the most beautiful spot in Texas
aud the general verdict is thai
those efforts have been successful.

Mrs Davis but once. and that was in

pressed me as a lady who illustrated all
tho graces Of domestic American life.
I'm the time that has elapsed since the
close Of the civil war. the matter of health
having forced her TO spend Il great deal
Of her time in the North. she had formed
many friendships among Northern people,
and I have no doubt that her views re-
garding those people became much broad
er and more tender than they would have
been had she passed all her life In the
South.
I know that she was deeply touched
when her charming daughter, Miss Win
