$40,000 worth of •additional buildings this
year. With a view of securing the show of
live stock the first week as well as the second
large special prizes are offered for horses,eattle
,l;heop and pigs, to be shown during the first
week of the exhibition in addition to the re-
gular prizes to be awarded the second week.
A large number of superior special attractions
are being seouredefor the exhibition, and they
will be distributed throughout the whole
time, so theshow the first week will be as good
the second. Cheap railway rates and emelt.-
alone will also be giving during the whole time
of the exbibition,so that every one will be af-
forded an opportunity of visiting this great
show. Entries in all departments, except for
fruit and grain, have to be made before the
131h of August, and any extendieg exhibitors
