FREE ATTRACTIONS At FAIR.
Fireworks, Races Between Ostrich and
Horse and Other Novelties.

In the matter of free attractions, the
entertainment at the Louisiana State
Fair this year will he fully up to tho
standard. The management has bud
geted large sum for the free features
so as to give everybody something OF
interest in this line, and there is every
reason to believe that all the visitors
will be thoroughly satisfied.
Racing between an ostrich and a
fine horse will be among the attrac-
TONS This will be a feature at each
afternoon of the race horse meet, and
also on other days. Some Of the races
will be free.
Fireworks at night, probably every
night during the Fair, will he another
special free amusement. The displays
at the Fairs in the past have proven 81
popular that the management this veal
decided to engage another fireworks
program.
1t is also planned to have exhibitions
by celebrated aviator. A feature OF
the proposed program is looping the
loop" in an aeroplane. Negotiations are
under way for this attraction.
The judging of livestock. contests In
judging and blowing between the mem
bers of boys corn, pig and blowing
clubs, and numerous otLer attractions
will also be free to visitors.
Band concerts will he daily features
There will also he several parades ant
speech making programs.

CAR SERVICE.
Plenty of Electric Cars on Double
Tracks-AIso Shuttle Trains at Fair.

For the quick transportation Of WISH
tors to the State Fair Grounds at
Shreveport. the facilities this year will
be better than ever before. There will
be both electric car and shuttle train
service, operated on fast schedules.
Since the last Fair the Fair Grounds
electric line has been double tracked
all the way from the center of the
down. town section. Heretofore por-
ton of the line has only had one track
which has necessitated more or less
delay and interruption But this year
the cars bound to the Fair Grounds
will use a separate track, and those re-
turning down town will use another
track In this way there will he con
tlnuouS passage, no interruption, and
the traction company will be enabled
to handle a crowd Of almost any ca
pacity
The shuttle train service. which has
been operated by the Katy railroad, and
is assured again this year, will be be-
tween the union depot and the Fair
Grounds. Just n few minutes will be
required for the trip A regular sched
ule from early morning until late al
night will be followed. Persons coming
in on the trains and not having time
to take an electric car may board the
shuttle trains right at the depot and
go out to tie graunds. Those wishing
to stop down town, shop, visit or look
after other matters. will find all the
electric cars anyone could want, and
quick service by trolley to the grounds

the fair. etc. write Secretary l.. N
