 That big feature of every fall fes- tival and exposition which is as ne- cessary to success as the display of exhibits from field and pen--the side show with it's ballyhoo and it's ban ners, it's flaming exploitation of freaks and frivoities-made it's ad- vent yesterday at the sixth Annual Arkansas State Fair, and furnished the large crowds that gathered on the second day with new line of amusement and entertainment.
 By the early morning hours the midway had been set and the bark CTS were busy, and while the always large patronage of a first days at tendance was missing, vel the shows are sufficient in importance to de- mand their attention before this big exposition passes into history.
 The day was Press Day, and there were many representatives of the press of the state comingling with the crowds and making careful in zpeetion of the exposition. Every where there were expressions of agreeable surprise at what had been wrought through local enterprise af- ter the disadvantages that had been encountered. The press of the state is oval to the Arkansas State Fair and it's voice has always been one of plaudit.

 The big fireworks display at night is the big evening attraction. At an expense of $3,500 the State Fair As soeiation is sparing nothing in the contract that makes this big pro- duction the grandest of it's kind tnas ever has been shown at any state fair. Visitors from other states have declared it to be the most spectacu- lar thing in it's line ever shown, and the home people are unanimous in their verdict that it is the best ever shown in this city.
 Last night the program was changed until it was practically a new display, just as it will be each night of the state fair.
