reel sure that everything will be in
readiness. OF course the permanent
work on grounds and buildings will
not be finished, but floors and roofs

really essential feature of the fair
that will be lacking.
The big territorial building is being
pushed ahead with all the workmen
that can be employed to advantage:

Fine Grandstand
Inc new grandstand, which will ac-
commodate 1000 persons, is by far the
finest in the territory and when later

exceedingly handsome structure.
Adequate rest rooms, toilet facilities
and other essentials will be ready by
the time the Fair opens.
Although the work of filling the 30
acres of ground within the enclosed
area was virtually completed some
time, considerable force of men is
sun at work putting on the finishing
touches and leveling. Grass has al
ready been planted over a consider
able portion, giving a hint of what

). a. Baldwin, of the executive COM
mlttee, who is especially interested in
the livestock end of the Fair, stated
yesterday that indications are that
this feature will be almost, if not fully
as fine as at the territorial fair in
Honolulu last June. Pens for more
than 100 head of cattle and for more
than so horses are already finished.
and 1t may be that some temporary
structures will be put up to take care
of the overflow. Most of the exhibits
of livestock will of course come from
Maui, but Honolulu will also send up
some exhibits. OF the latter there
Will be some thoroughbred dairy cat
tie from both the College of Hawaii
and from the Kamehameha schools.
Chairman Lorrin Smith, of the live
stock committee states that all stalls
will be ready for exhibitors by next
| Tuesday. Those who have not arrang-
ed their classification will have but
| little time to do so.
Many Miscellaneous Exhibits
The committees on home economies
flowers and plants, poultry and dom
este animals, arts and crafts, schools.
agronomy, etc, which have been work
ing hard for months past, are con-
fident that their respective exhibits
will excel anything attempted in the
past.
| Big Maui Asset
The point that perhaps appeals most
strongly to Maui people in general in
the development of the fair grounds
is the great permanent social center
which it will provide for Maui. 1t
will not only be fair grounds but ii
will be place for all kinds of athletic
! sports-baseball tennis, track sports,
horse racing, etc.-as well as for
dances, public gatherings and other
social features from one years end
| to another.
