~ eiiV VIZ southern IalrS, VIII 0pel
ats gates this year with the con
vlctlon on the part Of its manage
ment that every one Of its eighteen
big departments will excel. II
every way, any fair ever before
given in the South.
AT the first meeting held after
the closing Of the 1912 fair it was
determined that no effort or ex-
pense should be spared to secure
the best, and nothing but the best
for this years fair, and the result
has been most gratifying.
The two first exhibition build
ings have been rearranged and
will be given over entirely to com
mercial and industrial exhibits.
and even at this early date every
space has been taken. The third
building, formerly used for manu-
facturers exhibits, will be the
agricultural hall, and the demands
for space, even now, are so great
that enlargement Of this building
Is contemplated.
The Tri-State Fair this year
ceased to be a private corporation,
the old stockholders turning over
TO the new eleemosynary corpora
ton their entire interests with the
understanding that hereafter no
individual should ever receive one
! penny Of profit from the Fair. The
new charter expressly states that
all money received in excess Of the
necessary expenses shall be used
in improving tie grounds and
buildings for the benefit Of the
agricultural interests Of Arkansas,
Mississippi and Tennessee.
~ Live Stock.
The live stock exhibits at the
Tri-State Fair have always been
given especial attention. More
premiums have been offered, and
with the active support Of most Of
the National Registry Associations
and the entries already received
this department will maintain its
record of growing bigger and bet
ter every year.
Agriculture.
The Agricultural Department
will vie with the live stock section
il Importance. The 1918 fair will
see an entire new arrangement Of
the agricultural building, which
will add to its general attractive
ness, while a new system Of label
ing the exhibits, enabling each ex-
hibit to tell the story Of its produc-
zion, will greatly add to their ed
ucational value.
Poultry.
The Tri-State Poultry Show,
held annually at the fair, under
the direction Of the Tri-State
Poultry Association, has become
d show Of national Importance and
q ribbon won at Memphis carries
as much weight, if not more, than
from any other Southern show.
This value is due to the keen com
petition and the fact that the rib
hons are always tied by the best /
judges in the United States.
Amusements.
This department has been given
especial attention as the manage
ment fully realizes that there must
be recreation and relaxation in
connection with its educational
work. During the day music will
be rendered, both popular and
classic, by a splendid band, free
open air vaudeville and acrobatiC
program, in which there are some
Of the most sensational acts Of the
year, win be given before the
grandstand, which is free during
the day.
The night feature will be Perrys
Victory on Lake Erie pictured In
flame. The committee is to be con-
graduated on securing this drama
in fireworks, as it is the sensation
of the year and is in such demand
IS to have fully booked its. season
early Id the year. In addition to
this spectacle there viii be other
fireworks Of an unusual order.
Other Features.
Space is limited and it is i'm.
possible to enumerate all Of the
GOOD things offered, but it win be
well to bear ID mind that II you
visit but one fair in 1918. let that
be the Tri-State Fair.
