DEPARTMENTS THAN EVER
BEFORE.
MANY ATTRACTIONS
GRANDsTAND. NEW
STEEL BRIDGE. ADDITIONAL
FARM PRODUCTS BUILDINGS
HIGH-CLAss FEATURES.

Judging from the appearance of the
premium list just out, the state fair
this year will prove larger and more
interesting and instructive than ever.
The management states that a mag
nificent exposition of Virginia's in
dustrial and agricultural products and
resources, including live stock, has
been provided for this year on. larger
and more comprehensive lines than
has ever been heretofore attempted.
This policy of expansion and inno-
walton has been carried out in every
department at enormous cost and by
persistent effort on the part of the as
ISOLATION. Cash prizes have been in
creased. A new steel and concrete
viaduct bridge has been erected over
the railroads near the grounds at
cost of $4,000. A large addition has
been made to the grand stand in
creasing greatly its comfort and seat
ing capacity, and necessitating the
operation of two vaudeville stages In
order to present an unusual array of
attractions, including educational fea-
cured from almost every land and ey-
cry race.
In addition to the many agricu1-
tural, stock, household manufacture,
and similar features, which this year
promise to be OF great magnitude, the
ASSOCIATION has arranged Tor costly
array Of amusements, In addition to
the shows of the midway there will he
half n hundred high-class attractions
for the free exhibits in front of the
grandatand, which may he seen by WIS.,
itors all over the grounds.
Fcraria famous shows have been
contracted for, and this aggregation
will be sceen in all its magnificent
splendor.
Oklahoma's Bills Wild west show

with added attractions from the Far
East.
/ The manufacturers of Richmond. as
we'll as of other cities of the State.
! viii be largely represented this year.
The chamber Of commerce has taken
"A hand in the matter OF local display.
| and has written letters to the local
manufacturers asking them to place
their wares before the people through
the State fair. 1t is likely that this
appeal will be responded 10 by many
who have not heretofore felt that ex-
hibits at the fair were of Importance.
Corn and alfalfa clubs throughout
the State are already making arrange
ments for their exhibits during the
week of October 9Th. The indications
are that the farm products buildings
will be filed to the doors with the
I finestsxhirits of State-grown products
ever seen at the fair.
MariaSar Warwick suggests that any
onec wishing n copy Of the premium
list may secure one by sending name
and address to State fair headquar-

time when interchanges between the
department of justice and the Union
Pacific representatives seemed at
standstill, was the suggestion of Judge
I.ovett for the exchange OF the block
of stock for Baltimore and Ohio

The latest ruling obtained on the

Most of the delay in the selection
of new collector for Virginia and
the several deputies was caused by
the belief Of Secretary McAdoo that
the house would pass the bill intro
duced in the senate by Senator
Fletcher, and passed. providing for
a six months suspension of the reor-
ganlzation plan. When 1t was rea-
lized within the last week that the
bill would not pass the house the
time was too short to arrange for APP
