 In discussing the matter last night Mir Wadley said: We walt the Pine Bluff people to take charge of the fair that day, including the days program and the public func- tions. You will be asked to arrange your own program, select your own speakers and we hope that your peo- pie will come to the fair in large numbers. If you see fit to bring band of music with you the state fair management will defray the ex- penses of the band, no matter how large, to Hot Springs from Pine Bluff and return.
 AS to the program it might i'm clude a street parade, in whicI the Board of Trade and the business or ganlzations of the city may take part. Little Rock is now arranging to celebrate their day with a parade and other attractive features. They say they will have a marching col umn of one hundred business men, attlred in frock coats and silk hats. Little Rockians also expect to have two hundred and fifty automobiles in line on Little Rock day, which will make the run from the capital to Hot Springs for that purpose. It would be fine feature for Pine Bluff to do likewise. as understand that you have large number of machines here"

All the cities and counties in the state have been asked to send mem. 'bers of the reception committee there and every newspaper editor and legislator in Arkansas has also been named on the reception com mittee. MT. Wadley stated last night that more than fifty counties had already asked for space to make ex- hlbits and the railroads have promis. ed to handle the crowds at one fare for the round trip.
