ARRANGING PREuNINARIES
FOR NEVADA STATE FAIR
Local Executive Committee Meets to
Revise Premium List and In
spect Pavilion Plans

The local members of the State
Board of Agriculture held an ad-
journed meeting at the City Hall last
Saturday night to hear the reports
premium list and to inspect and dis
euss the proposed plans for a per-
manent pavilion for the housing of
agricultural and domestic arts ex-
hibits. A number of changes were
made in the premium list calculated
TO remedy the inequalities hereto
fore existing and which will enable
all premiums to be paid in full.
The plans for the pavilion were
prepared by City Engineer Crehore
and Contractor A. Henricksen and
contemplate a building 100 feet by
62 feet with an arcade along the
100-foot front and containing a boil
coy along one side. The architects
have selected pleasing design
which It is believed can be completed
with the $4,000 appropriation, to an
extent at least that will permit of its
use at the forthcoming fair. The
construction will be of wood covered
with patented plaster board and
coated with cement stueeo The roof
girders will be supported on heavy
cement columns or buttresses and
the lighting provided by large glass
skylight in the roof. The plan adapts
itself TO additions in the future. The
committee in charge of the worke
were instructed to secure estimates
on the materials required at the ear
Hest possible date in order that work
may be commenced at once.
A communication was received
from The Reno Business Mems Asso-
citation asking that a change be made
In the date of holding the Fair as
the race meet scheduled in that city
has also fixed upon the same dates,
viz; September 18th to the 22nd. In
asmuch as the California State Fair
Is held from the Sth to the 18th and
custom has established that the Ne
vada Fair shall follow Immediately
thereafter in order to permit many
large exhibitors of livestock to show
in both states, and the further fact
that ell posters and advertising ma
terial and premium ribbons, etc.
have already been ordered, it was
deemed impossible to comply with
the request of the Reno people, re-
grettable as the conflict in dates may
be.
1t seems that the Reno race meet
is predicated on the close of the meet
In Colorado Springs which takes
place next month and closes the first
week in September The horses will
then be brought west to participate
in the meet at Reno, giving Just suf
fioient time to open there about the
18th.

CAPT. LUTTRELL OFFERED PLACE
 IN NEW ARMY

Capt. J. c. Luttrell, of the local mil itary unit has received an application blank for a commission in the army with instructions to report before August 15 if he desires to serve. Capt Luttren has seen service and has been a military instructor in the California national guard and in military schools.
 The military unit engaged in it's regular drill last evening and one of the largest crowds to date was on hand to participate in the maneuvers. Although each meeting brings out new faces, the majority of members are those who were in attendance the first night, and it is quite comph- ment to their interest, loyalty and firmness of resolution to see so many in regular attendance.
 In announcing the names of the non-commissioned officers who were appointed for the military unit the promotion of Private Eugene s. Jac- card to be corporal strayed away in the composing room and consequently aecidently failed to appear in the arti- cle covering that item of news.
