The program shows that the exhibits are to be in position early Monday morning, and that the attractions on that day will be on the same elaborate scale as on any other day of the Fair. The board is determined this year to extend the Fair over a longer period than in any other year. It hopes to obtain half fare rates on all interurban lines entering Indianapolis on the first day of the Fair for children and old soldiers. Although the Fair is weeks it is evident that the Board could use twenty acres more of ground for machinery exhibits.

The first day of racing will be on Monday. A large number of changes in the plans of the Fair have been made The entries in all departments close on Sept. Ist.
