chilly drizzle, which assumed for short
periods the proportions of a driving
rain. The morning drizzle was sue
ceeded by a slight lifting of the clouds

The amusement features had to be

The races, the aeroplane flight, the
fireworks display, all had to give way
before the chill and gloom Of the
weather.

opening day as this year." said Secre-
tary True.

School Exhibit for state Fair.

John A. Hazelwood, superintend
ent of the educational depart
ment of the state fair, began the in
stallation of exhibits in that depart

exhibits are to be superior as to quail
ity and variety.
The interest shown in the depart
ment by educators has already placed
the building in the inadequate class.
1t is possible that an addition will
have to be provided if the educational
features of the fair are to be ex-
banded with the other departments.
Mr.. Hardwood has been an indie
fatigable worker in this department
and has had charge of it for the past
five years. He has brought it to its
high plane as a factor in the value
of the state fair as an educational in
stitution. He is one Of the supporters
of the movement advocating a larger
and better adapted building for the
needs of the present exhibits than
the present one.
The regular educational building
