 FIRST DAY RECEPTION.
Secretary Bedding Outlines the Gorge ous Spectacle in Front of stand
 on the Opening Day.

 State Fair on its opening day, next Monday. is expected to arrive Tn me city Sunday morning. That was the information furnished Secretary Bedding last night, and while not com ing direct from MT Clark it's con firmation from him is expected today
 Hon. Joe Robinson, Senators Davis and Clark, Governor Donaghey and other guests of honor. will also most probably arrive in the city Sunday night and will be ready to take part 1 in the opening exercises without any possibility of being delayed ea route. Before the Champ Clark reception committee last night Secretary Beld- ling outlined the program of the first | day spectacle in the front of the stand, | and certainly there is arranged one lbig surprise There has never been attempted before such a gorgeous spectacle, and the Pathe pictues of this big fair opening ceremonial will no doubt attract attention and ap- plause from all over the country. l The personnel of the Clark recep- 1 tion committee will probably be an lnounced today. There have been lheen some additions, and probably others will be put on the committee
 There were more than 200 men busy at the fair grounds yesterday hurry | ing the fast arriving exhibfs into l place Where 10 and 12 counties have been represented before, there are now more than 40 county exhibits on l the grounds to be put in place. There 1 is a general rush today to get every lthing into place. but the fair will be ready for the opening Monday morn ] ing, and certainly will make good every prediction that it would be the greatest event of its kind held in the
 south in years.
 Indications from all over the state are in effect that the attendance will
 be almost double what it was on the
 occasion of the opening two years ago when Colonel Roosevelt opened the l fair, and which up to that time was a record breaker
 The racing features this year will
 be far greater in extent than can be appreciated without seeing how the stables are now filled with candidates l for the various harness and running events. Every event will have prob ably more entries than can compete land the racing will be of very high
 standard, as some of the fastest horses in the country are now stabled at the course.
 With the arrival in Hot Springs of several of the worlds greatest speed demons, motordom has turned it's at | tention towards these parts, in antici- patton of seeing some sensational | speed work as fitting climax to the greatest season in the history of dirt track racing
 l Through the presence in the south of such noted daredevils as Louis Dis 1 brow, of New York; Joe Nikrent, of | California; "Wild Bill" Endicott, of Indianapolis, and other famed space 1 eaters George R Bedding. secresary of the Arkansas State Fair, was able 1 10 arrange a worlds championship dirt track meet
 For years the auto fans and lovers of great speed have been reading of the wonderful work of the demons who shake dice with death, but so far few of .he great pilots have ever visited Hot Springs.
 Now comes the announcement that not only are we to make the acquaint- ance of the noted space eaters, they are to be seen in action in .heir great speed creations as we'll
 Yesterday afternoon a private rail- way garage attached to an Iron Mountain train was dragged into Hot Springs and in the afternoon it was opened up and two speed machines were brought forth.
 Now they are on exhibition at the Westcott Motor Car company and the people who journey 10 see them are more than repaid for the trouble, as they are the greatest pair of racing machines i'll the world The great 300 horse power Jay-Eye-See racer which looks more like great sea monster, is the most formidable look ing, and little perusal of the won derful speed performances of this great machine in way foretells what can be expected at the Arkansas State Fair.
 The Simplex Zip. the second car in' the Disbrow stable. is the most wonderful speed machine that ever faced a starter on a dirt track It holds 10 of the 12 worlds records and holds more track marks than any other machine ever built
 Disbrow was very enthusiastic over what he expects to do here, as the Oakawn track is one of the greatest dirt courses in the world. It is con siderably wider than the average mile track and has wonderful stretches With weather conditions right, a couple worlds record trials will prob |ably be staged.
 One of the interesting angles to the first day of racing will be the part the Little Rock auto fans will play in the race meet The races will be one of the attractions secured to en- certain the people and several autoists will drive to the Springs in their machines.
 The fair will be brought to a close with auto races and record trials, on Sunday afternooS, when the last au- tomobile race meet of the 1912 season will be staged In addition to the professional drivers and big foreign speed creations, there will be local events in which local cars from Ho. | n ID
