ped may be gathered from the fact
that it has q long lease on the half
million dollar plant Of the Elm
Ridge race track, the most complete
race track in the world and which
combines all the facilities Of a race
/, track with all the elegancies Of a
gentlemen's club. In addition to
! this, forty acres has been set aside
for purely exposition purposes, SO
that no fair in the west will have
such spacious accommodations
No matter ,how large the crowds,
there cannot possibly be any crowd
ing, for the street railway accom-
modations will land 100 900 people
at the grounds with ease during the
day and evening and once at the
grounds there Is ample room for all
to witness the various races and
acts and to inspect the countless
displays Of all sorts.
As showing the scope Of the ex-
hibits already planned for. the state
Of Missouri has appropriated $4,000
for its display and every dollar Of
this will be spent for exhibits, as
nothing will have to be spent for
buildings, booths or room. INDIE
pendently Of the immense exhibits
Of the state Mt the st. Louis worlds
fair and those collected by the
state board Of agriculture, numer-
Gus counties and individuals in the
state will make displays competing
for the liberal premiums offered.
II might be stated in passing that
the premium and prize list for the
fair aggregates $4,000 and the
money IL in bank, the fair associa-
ton being an Incorporated body, so
that exhibitors are amply protected
in this respect.
The state Of Kansas will be rep
resented by q varied exhibit from
the agricultural college at ManhAt-
tan, in addition to the numerous
county and individual displays.
For instance, Linn county has al
ready prepared ON extensive dis
play and Leavenworth county will
be represented with a similar dis.
play. These are only selected At
randsom to illustrate the scope Of
the fair in this line.
Then Kansas City itself is to be
considered. All the big merchants
and implement dealers have applied
for space for big display Of goods,
enabling visitors in half a day
to see stocks which IL would require
q week and much loss Of energy To
cover the same ground other wise.
THE manufacturers will show what
lie made here; the jobbers will dis
: play their stocks and the general
, merchants and big department,
; stores will have displays that viii
be both instructive and ornament

commercial resources Of Kansa'
City.
