Except to those who have visited the Arkansas State Fair heretofore, 1t is not generally known that we have the finest and best equipped fair grounds in the South. The great
 plant embraces nearly one hundred acres, and with all improvements cost half a million dollars. It is the prop erty of the Oaklawn Jockey Club, was built for racing track and is said to be the finest ill the United States. Since the legislature confiscated this property by the passage of the Amis act, which killed horse racing in l this state, the owners have given the use of this splendid plant to the peo- pie of the state, free of cost, for the use of the State Fair. This they have done for five years, notwithstanding the fact that they have received no legislative relief in return. The fair grounds are one mile south of the city of Hot Springs, and are reached by donble-track trolley electric car line. The cars run into the grounds, discharging and taking on passen- gers under roof, so that rain or shine, one is not subject to dicomfort Dur ing the fair cars run on three min ute schedule, and the crowds are swiftly and safely handled without de- lays, and the run to the city takes but seven minutes.
 The great exposition palace is 200 by 400 feet, two stories, with concrete floor, toilets, water contains, res taurants and everything for the com fort of the public The great grand stand on the second floor, facing the mile track will seat three thousand people. Agricultural paiace is almost as large, stands near the main palace. and is connected by covered passage ways on both stories. South of these are Electric Grove, where the main amusement features are located, beautifully shaded lawn, glowing at night with thousands or ineandescent lights. The grounds are beautifully ornamented with shrubbery and flow 'efs ss-rzs.'s,ttssiises gravel walks, with flowing fountains here and there. The machinery, live stock and poultry de partments comprise a large area. A large poultry house contains pens for thousands of fowls, while there are comfortable stalls for several thous- and head of horses, cattle and swine. The entire plant is equipped with waterworks and sewer systems, cleo tric lights, telephone and telegraph lines, so that communication can be had by wire or long distance phone whenever desired right from the grounds Better facilities for a great fair could hardly be designed. No matter what the character of exhibit, whether of animal or other thing, if can be safely provided ror and shown under the most favorable conditions. The fair is operated under a perfect system, so that the safety of exhibits while there, and their prompt and safe return is assured. If you have never before visited the Arkansas State Fair, don't miss it this fall, and at the same time, have an opportu- nity to see the world-fameous health and pleasure resort, Hot Springs, one of the seven wonders of the world.
