A general inspection of the site of the Ak-Sar-Ben exposition field, consisting of 130 acres near Sixty fourth and Center streets, was made by the board of governors of the Ak-Sar-Ben yesterday afternoon fol lowing luncheon at the Omaha club. The general opinion of the com mittee was that the south end of the tract, 40 acres of level pasturage bordering on the paved road, will be the exposition grounds proper, on which will be constructed the main buildings, concessions and entrance. The north enn of the fielr, consisting of 90 acres, is to be plotted for the improvement of the one-mile race track, grandstand, parking places scenic gardens surrounded by trees, to be planted between now and Arbor day, April 22. To Build Lagoon. Besides the artistry to be ex emplified in the new buildings and outdoor surroundings, a feature of the Ak-bar-Ben exposition field is to be an artificially constructed lagoon, in the center of the group of ex position structures. Shade trees and artistic footbridges will beautify the grounds, according to the plans. 1 he race track, graded 30 years ago for use at the old state fair grounds, will be improved to revive horse racing in Omaha. Drainage of the interior area will be con structed leading into the Little Pappio, flowing along the west boundary of the field. The in terior space of the track, being low, will be used for automobile parking because of its convenient location even affording a broad view of the complete track to grandstand spec tators. A wide enough banking at the turns of the track will be con structed to permit automobile rac ing, the directors say. All for Omaha. "The construction of this exposi tion field is for Omaha only," Ever ett Buckingham said. "It is a com munity proposition, and will be used to boostOmaha. Fairs, races, pic nics and other events will be staged here all for Omaha." Louis Nash, member of the board of Ak-Sar-Ben governors, said: Omaha s in need of an exposition site. We're entirely satisfied and enthusiastic of the new choice for public events. The field will be used for occasions of community benefits." Gould Dietz1 spoke i favor of re viving horse racing in' Omaha as a means of improving Omaha's fame as a sporting city. "Recreation for the business man is essential, and what better means of diversion may we enjoy than a good old horse race?" ie said. "This field is con veniently located for horse racing and other sorts of public enjoy ment." At the noonday luncheon, Thom as Wood Stevens, Pittsburgh or ganizer of public pageants, spoke about various plans of community fairs and festivals. He spoke high ly of plans of the Ak-Sar-Ben gov erning board in building the expo sition field. Members of the board who in spected the field were: Everett Buckingham, J. D. Weaver, Ran dall Brown, George Brandeis, Charles Black, J. E. Davidson, Louis Nash, W. D. Hosford, J. W. Gam ble, William Wood, Gould Dietz, Arthur Thomas and Roy N. Towl. As yet no contracts have been let for building and landscape work. Nash Motor Head in City Tells of Boom Sweeping Country So far as I know there was never a time in the history of the United States when money was as plenti ful as it is now," said C. B. Nash, president of the Nash Motor com pany of Kenosha, Wis., who was in t4ie .city between trains yesterday afternoon, enroufe home from a trip to the Pacific coast. While in Omaha, Mr. Nash spent most of the time with F. H. Mc Dearmon, Nebraska agent for the Nash cars and the Nash motor trucks. Speaking of the automobile busi ness, Mr. Nash said: 1 "All automobile and truck manu facturers are going to have a tre mendous sale this season. We ex pect to sell 25,000 cars and indca tions are that we could dispose of double this number if we had the capacity for their nanufacture. Of this number, our Omaha agency will sell 2,500 and I am confident Mr. McDearmon could sell 5,000 if we could spare him that number. How ever, his allotment is but 2,500. What is true with us is equally true with the other manufacturers. They are all going to readily dispose of their capacity output."
