 Fair Notes.
 The final preparations for the fair next week Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are nearly completed.

The entire upper floor is we'll lighted and will give abundance of room for exhibition purposes The lower floor will con- tain a large dining room and kitchen where the society will furnish dinner under the charge of O. D Richardson of Brook field, who gave such excellent satisfaction last year. The secretary s office, parcel, checking room and toilet rooms for women will also be on the first floor The whole build ing and equipment will be first class in every way. The new ticket offices are finished and the iron gates and fence around the new midway will be completed in time for the fair The midway grounds are all blocked off with wide roads and walks for the crowd and many good attractions have engaged space. The racing, with the four $1. 1000 stake races and five $4OO purses, have drawn large number of entries of fast horses and promises to be fast and exciting.
