BIG IMPROVEMENTS

THOSE MADE ON KANKAKEE DISTRICT FAIR GROUNDS—ROOM FOR ALL EXHIBITS. Wonderful improvements havp been made on the grounds of the Kankakee District Fair. Among them are five new exhibition stock each one 120x34 feet. Also a number of new sheep and hog barns and enclosures. This will relieve the crowded condition that prevailed last year because of the great rush of exhibits attracted by the immense premiums offered at the fair and will be ample to accommodate all exhibits that will come this year no matter how numerous they may be. Another improvement is the extension of water mains to every section of the ground. This will be appreciated by those who exhibit stock at the Kankakee District Fair. Another improvement is the building of a new amphitheater from which the exhibition stock can be viewed. The fine race track of the Kankakee District Fair has als© been improved this year, making it one of the best in the country and it is anticipated that even faster time than has prevailed heretofore on this very fast track will be made.
