FAIRGROUNDS FOR CHINESE.

Much interest has developed In An
Fairgrounds for the Chinese. There
was SO much discussion during the re-
cent plague with regard to the general
health of the community that definite
steps have been taken toward provid-
ing recreation facilities. A large tract
Of land has been secured by public sub
scription and extensive improvements
are being made. Driveways are being
built and ea-houses and other places
of entertainment are being erected, and
II is said that the recreation grounds
will include a tennis court. Last Sep
TENDER the local Chinese officials were
furnished with an interesting number
of the Cincinnati Magazine. issued last
summer, which gave pictures and in
formation with regard to the excellent
parks and Fairgrounds which that city
had provided. The need of such facil-
tiles at Antung was suggested at the
time
| The question of providing recreation
parks for the Chinese is one of the ut
most importance. The Chinese dwell
ings are generally close and poorly
ventilated and usually huddled togeth-
er in congestcd mass, and few san
itary measures have been taken, as u
rule II follows that the health Of the
Chinese Is seriously impaired, and open
parks and squares are needed In most
OF the large cities The Chinese are
coming to realize this fact, and with
the many reforms and improvements
(which are now taking place in China
the question of providing parks and
Fairgrounds will not 1t Is believed, be
entirely overlooked. N...

grounds, gymnasiums, and other such
places for physical Improvement will
come "A demand for foreign sporting

tured for places of general amuse-
ment.
