permanent buildings, have been pro.
vided for exhibition purposes this
year. The tents are all new and OF
ample capacity to accommodate the
exhibits of stock, agriculture, horti.

tend to make fair attractive and
successful.
In addition to the tents provided
for the exhibits the management has
also secured a splendid creation OF
canvass to be used as a resting place
and for shelter from rain or other
inclemencies of the weather. In this
enclosure conveniences for the ladies
will be provided with an attendant
in charge who will look after their
comfort and attend to their wants.
In printing the catalogue of prizes
one page of the booklet containing
the premium list for horticultural
exhibits was inadvertently omitted.

requested by the management to state
that in this department the same
prizes will be awarded as those given
last year. Former Senator Brown
will be in charge of the department

Gus tents and refreshments stands
