rade on Wednesday. Aug. IL, has prac-
tically completed all of the details in

stand. The size of this structure has
not yet been determined upon, and will
not be finally settled until il is known
approximately how many seats can be
sold. The charge for seats in this
stand will be not in excess of 81. I'm
dOubtedly the sale of seats in this

ford an unObstruCted view of the pa

parts of the city within a short time.
