gers at the main entrance. This year
arrangements have been made to nave
ears run into the grounds after four
o'clock each afternoon and take on
Passengers at a station just opposite
The grand stand.

patMeut have always been more or
less crowded. I he commissioners have
ordered the exhibit space In this de-
%tment doubled and the conStruc-
u1l OF new sheds is now in progress.
