May Send Exhibit.
lures.


Whether it is the intention of the
government to send an exhibit at this
time is not known. However, the
proper officials will be communicated
with at once with the view of secur-
ing some kind of display, which, IL
sent, will be housed in specially pre-
pared building.
With the large exhibits of the Uni
versity of Missouri and the state OF
Oklahoma, both of which long have
been recognized as among the most
complete of the kind ever assembled,
the exposition would be out OF the or
binary, but with the addition of a
government display the show would
surpass, with the exception only OF
the largest WORLDS fairs, anything
heretofore seen in this country.
Providing Adequate Quarters.
For all three of these exhibits there
will be erected at Electric park spe-
ciaIly constructed buildings in which
everything will be safe from wind or
rain. Work on these structures will
be started early next week. 1t at first
was thought that one of the buildings
already up would be adequate for the
reception of the Oklahoma exhibit,
but inasmuch as there necessarily
will have to be a special structure for
the University of Missouri display, II
was decided to give Oklahoma the
same benefit.
At first it was thought advisable to
erect one large building for the re-
ception of both the Oklahoma and
university exhibits, but opposition
prompted a decision in favor of indi
vidual buildings. 1t is understood
that the government exhibit will be
housed near the main entrance of the
park. All of the other numerous
buildings of the exposition will have
been started before the end of next
week
One Hundred Shows.
At least one hundred shows Of al
kinds will line The Drift when the ex
position is opened. Many of these en-
tertainment devices are being brough,
from as far as New York to the east
and San Francisco to the west, and
are reputed to be among the best Of
their kind in the country.
The fronts will be arranged in 6
continuous line on both sides Of The
Drift from one end to the other. The
thoroughfare will be brilliantly illu
minated with arc and Nernst lamps
and paved with boards, thereby elimi
mating the nuisance of gravel or mud
