 Yesterday to a Sentinel-Record rep resentative, Mir. Anderson, while he refused to divulge the full secrets of the spectacle, gave an outline of what may be expected-for be it remember ed that this great production is being planned as a surprise to the visitors to the fair.
 After talking to MT. Anderson, the public is assured that the affair which | is now being outlined as the crowning feature of the fair, will be the great est panoramic spectacle ever produced | in the south. The extent and magnifi. cence of the spectacle cannot be relat- | ed iii mere words, it will have to be seen to be appreciated.
 Each year the fair management has
 
 people some great spectacular produc- tion, but it is certain it has never be- fore attempted anything of the magni- | tude and splendor of the Dance of All Nations
 | MT. Anderson permitted the report CT to glance at his plans and specifi cations as partially outlined, and the magnificent splendor of this feature will cause the Arkansas state fair to stand out in class by itself in this one feature alone.
 The Dance of All Nations" will be staged directly in front of the grand stand, and is planned primarily as a curtain raiser for the state fair at the time and place of the speaking of Hon. Champ Clark and Governor elect Joe T. Robinson. It will be participated in by 120 young ladies with a stage setting that is gorgeous in it's concep- tion and magnificent in it's fnlfin- ment.
 The stage setting will occupy a space 400 feet long, directly surround ing the speakers stand, in front of the grand stand. More than dozen nations will be represented in their national colors and costumes, their music and their dances, and the cen tral setting of the whole will be a spectacle that will bring joy to the heart of every Arkansawyer. l Ranged along the 400 foot stage will be Japan, with her riot of colors, her kimono clad ladies, her national col ors and her national music. Then will come Holland. with all the Dutch char acteristics, Scotland, with a dozen kilt clad clans, and in the center, America with the national colors. Next comes Ireland, with her green, Germany with it's national colors, Sweden and oihei countries, all the national sections be ing appropriately and gorgeously dec orated to represent the national char acteristics. In each of these sections 10 beautiful young ladies will repre- sent their respective countries in the Dance of Ali Nations e
 Directly opposite the grand stand will be the speakers stand, decorated in the American colors, upon whicl will be ranged a part of the recep [ ton committee to Hon. Champ Clart and Joe'T. Robinson. Thanked on each side of the committee will be a party of AS ladies. 12 dressed in blue, F ir red, and 24 in white, these ladies com prising a part of the reception com mittee to the guests of honor.
 On raised platform directly in the center, will be staged the crowninl feature of the spectacle-and just what was to constitute this feature Mir Anderson refused to say, excep l fof ~In chological moment, would be unveiled an Arkansas Gem" and that thi. would constitute one of the grandes taxleaux ever witnessed in the south At the same moment the bugles vii sound, and the representative of tn, different nations, the boy scout escor to the guests of honor, the naval con tingent the reception committee, the speakers and the audience will rist and salute the American flag whict will be unfurled from a flag pole di rectly above the stage of the tableauy The salute will be accompanied bl the firing of 600 aerial bombs an( gorgeous day fireworks, as a grand finale to the panorama
