1leh'd-I'lIrNell for the
On . ners of Flyers .
There was a great deal of stir and bustle
at the stjlte fair grounds yesterday , hundreds -
drL'l1s of prospdetivo exhibitors were on hand
either Inspecting space that has been allotted
to them or putting In their applicatIons for
tile same , and the excitement will continue to
Increase from now on until the opening of
the mammoth autumnal trollc.
TIlls will bo a busy week at the White City
when most or the bulky exhibits on the way
machinery and agricultural implements are
expected to arrive. The locating of these
will \ require a vast amount of work and the
grounds will be alive with hurrying laborers.
Ex-Governor Furnas will arrive In the cIty
tomorrow and establish his headquarters at
the Millard hotel , and all partIes wishIng to'
confer with him on any subject connected
with the fair can meet him the o. Governor
Furnas represents the board and this Is the
first real step preparatory : : to opening the
gates at the White City for the great exposi-
tion and festival .
l"OIl ACHING TIlE GHOUNDS.
There bas been some delay occasioned by
recent heavy rains In laying the street car
tracks. Olllcers of the company have net
been idle ] , llut have put In every moment day
and night since It was determined
that the tracks were to { be laid.
It was certainly commendable In the
street car company In hauling the material
to the other end of the lines ! and buildIng
this way. By line last of this week everything -
thing will be perfected the double tracks out
I..eavenworth street will be ready for the cars
and Mr. Tucker says that with Its capacity
for running trains the company can handle
n' less than 12.000 people every hour , running !
both ways. The Elkhorn has completed all
or Its sidings at the grounds while the Mis-
sour ! Pacific has Its grading done and th&
main track laili. It Is now' only necessary
to build the stock chutes , platforms and
bridge over the Little Papllilon This done
and all the arrangements at the grounds are
In readiness for the crowds This finally con-
sl'nmates the orlllnal Idea of transportation
In connection with the great fair , which Is
this : That the B. & M. . using the Missouri
Pacific terminals will run excursion trains
to the grounds and a stub train between Its
connection near MllIer's park and the
grounds connecting with all regular train
The Chicago Burlngton : & Quincy and Kansas
City St. Joe & Council Bluffs railways
will run to the grounds , using these terminals
The Elkhorn Northwestern and Chicago St
I'aul Minneapolis & Omaha will run excursions -
curslonl to the grounds over the Elkhorn
terminals. In addition to excursions the
Union Pacific will run local trains between
South Omaha Council Bluffs and Omaha. All
other roads will \ land their passengers at the
union depot and the local trains or street rail-
way will transport them to the grounds.
This makes admirable transportation service.

The Jobbers' building will be one of the
best features or the ralr. It Is to be I&Ox50
and ' COlt something like $4,000. and be
architecturally very attractive All of the
prominent jobbers will have space In this
building for their various displays , as well
as II general headquarters for their visiting
patrons and friends This building has
been made necessary by the overflow of applications -
plications for space , and thus the jobbers " ,

construct their own building
There has been considerable Inquiry concerning -
corning cost of transportation during fair

Nebraska and Iowa there will bo half rates
