After the track was resoiled and had had the Weather of winter In whieh to pack, a twelve ton steam roller was sent over it and: made it as firm and - smooth as a floor, yet to a horse’s hoof It gives a response like rubber. The mile track was ditched along both sdges and during the spring rains It Was possible to dry It out and work over the surface after an hour or two of sun. The half-mile track, which is inside the mile course, has also been ditched and otherwise improved, and two races, on the order of those sent over the oldtime county fair tracks, Will start on It during the coming State Fair. Another improvement about the race course which the spectators will •njoy has been made by removing the high ground of the infield along the north side cf the track. The track need to be so much lower than this deration of earth that from the grandstand only the heads of the horses and drivers could be seen. But at the OQmlng races a spectator may sit in the grandstand and see the feet of the horses all around the mile course. The sum of $21,900 is offered by the management for the State Fair races.

THE WORLD’S GEEATiST PARK. Riverview—Chicago’s Dazzling Fairyland of Amusement Devices. To see Chicago at play one must go to Riverview. Great cities are attracts eln gay moods and “the metropolis on the lakd’’ Is never merrier than when disponing Itself In this wonderful park. The Roman hippodrome cannot be compared with this great park, either in magnitude, fabulous investment or attendance. Frequently 250,000 men, women and children are within the enclosure of the vast and beautiful resort. Instantly aftqr one enters the white masonry of the gates and till he emerges, he Is mystified, bewildered, entranced. Broad vistas lead everywhere to turreted pavillions, circuses, theaters, ballets, “Streets of Cairo,” ball narks, casinos, water chutes, cascades, electric launches, mintature railways, "Wild West Shows,” aerial coasters, menageries, Japanese pagodas and open air concerts by the World’s finest bands. Riverview Is a festival city, with Its chimes of bells, peals of organs, roar of trains, cooling swish of waters, dashing Li*. j of foaming lakes, boat whistles, stringed instruments, “tom-toms,” euphonies of bagpipes, chanting of Indians, hymnals in sacred plays, yells of cowboys, reports of rifles and crash of artillery, roaring of lions, vocalizations of a million birds and animals, jubilee singing, shouts and laughter, and souhdlng above all, the majestic strains of Bohumir Kryl’a great band. Its Chutes cascades, 500 feet in midair, spray crystal waters In continuous rainbows. Gay gondolas descend in clouds of mist, dashing downward until they skim the surface of tjie lake, lashing its transparent waters Into foam. Laughter and shouts of delighted passengers accompany the musical murmur of the falling cascades. In a thrilling “Wild West,’’ cowboys and: Indians exhibit feats of broncho riding. The biblical story of Babylon Is enacted by 1,000 young men and women In the classical costumes. In Big Otto’s Animal Jungle, “Miss Dixie,” young, preity and fearless, enters a den of lions, jaguars, panthers and wildcats. She seizes the Jaws of a Nubian lion, forces them open and thrusts her head between great teeth that gleam dangerously against her white throat. A naval battle between the Monitor and Merrlmac; the “Kyfhausen,” the. mountainous retreat of Emperor Barbarossa, and Paul Revere’s ride are historical. Camels and elephants hear laughing children; in a Flea Circus tiny Insects §erform Incredible feats: a pony hipporome, living pictures, Turkish dancers, circle and giant swings, motor and submarine boats, deep sea divers, live whales, skating rinks, velvet and aerial coasters, mechanical minstrels, “Thousand Islands” waterways, Japanese tea gardens, Chinese pavllllons, double whirls, and endless delight-imparting devises form streets, pikes, plaisances, courts and waterways. Hlvervlew, an emerald forest under an opalescent sky, glistens with a silvery river and sclnttllant diamond lakes. At night this veritable fairyland has myriads of lights that whirl and flash and shimmer a rainbow haze on gay throngs. A more beautiful fairy spectacle was Sever conceived.
