When the gates of the district fair
are thrown open the latter part of
September the Scene presented with

ferent from the past two fairs.
Workmen 'are now busy remodel
ling the big pavilion and they have
already made some radical changes
In the arrangement. The wall be
tween the main pavilion and the an
nex has been taken down, thus throw
ing the entire fair grounds Into one
monster room.
.The bandstand, formerly located
near the center of the old pavilion,
has been moved westward to within
about eight feet of the ticket office.
A canopy will be arranged back of
the bandstand so as to assist in
throwing the sound out over the au
dience. This will be a great improve
ment for in the past speakers, ad
dressing the people from the band
stand. Dave made themselves heard
with difficulty.
The fountain and palm garden will
be moved down to a location in front
of the band stand and near the cen
ter of the pavilion.
The ground within the annex will
he graded down to conform to that
or me mam pavilion and the seats
will be arranged In a semi-circle so
that those seated In the grandstand
will look down upon the fountain
and garden and over the same to the
bandstand.

of the fair pavilion the directors will
make a more Interesting fair for

for booths and there Is every indica
tion that the booths this year will be
large and arranged with more care
than last fall.

amount of available space is not yet
completely known. Weston is the
only town to engage, room so far and
