celebrated daylight fireworks. The
fair people will likely close a contract
with the company in the near future.
The company has two or three fairs

managers are very anxious to, place

fractions they have offered to put in
free exhibition of the daylight fire.

sired, this being in addition to the big
set pieces and other display for the
night of July 4. These daylight con-
trivances are shot from a mammoth
mortar high into the air and after
they have reached their heighth and
start to descend they form curious
shapes, such as elephants, camels.
ships, pictures of great men. and ali
manner of forms. =
1t is hoped to make this one of the
features of the fair.
Already many have been in to call
on President Scott and Secretary Van
Horn to see about getting space on the
grounds and it is now the opinion that
the grounds will be filled to their ut
most capacity. In fact the fair ofic-
ers are most optimistic over the pros

est fair that the state has ever known,
