Arkansas National Guard
At State Fair
Plans Perfected for Encampment of
the Citizen Soldiery. Two Spec
tacular Sham Battles at the
Arkansas State Fair.
All arrangements have been
perfected for the encampment of
the Arkansas National Guard at
the State Fair. The grounds have
been surveyed and laid off within
the State Fair grounds and afford
an ideal encampment arranged in
such a manner as to be one of the
many show features at the State
Fair. In addition to the full
equipment furnished by the
government there have been plac
ed at their disposal five large
buildings for head-quarters, regi
mental mess, commissary depart
ments, etc.
The grounds are being placed in
excellent condition and will be
equipped with every modern con
venience, including shower baths,
complete water system with filter
ed water at ever}7 camp kitchen
and splendid sanitary equipment
throughout the entire camp
grounds.
Each regiment will have its own
formation, occupying the entire
southeast portion of the grounds.
The encampment, however, will be
readily accessible to visitors and is
situated just east of the immense
Live Stock and Machinery Depart
ments.
Major Eugene B. Jett, Quarter
Master, Col. W. K. Surridge,
Lieut.-Col. R. M- Pierson, Major,
W. F. Harrison and Capt. B. R.
Oastler have surveyed the grounds
and given detailed instructions to
the officers of the State Fair
Association to make all needed
preparations so that the encamp
ment will be complete in every de
tail on the opening day of the Fair.
The two sham battles will with
out doubt be the most gigantic and
elaborate spectacular productions
ever enacted in this state. Tiie
first of these magnificent speetac
ulres will be given Saturday night,
Oct. 5, and will be known as the
“Fall of the Alamo.” The two
full regiments of the National
Guard amid elaborate and inspir
ing scenic effects and pyrotechnic
displays, after a most interesting
and inspiring rendition of military
maneuvers, will effect the capture
and burning of the fort and the
program will culminate in grand
finale of fire works display, ex
plosions, graphically simulating
the destruction of the fort and the
unfurling of a magnificent blazing
flag. The second sham battle will
be on au equal scale of grandeur.
An elaborate and thrilling sham
battle, magnificent but along dif
ferent lines and properly designat
ed “The Charge of San Juan.”
This magnificent spectacle will be
given Tuesday night, Oct. 8. This
will be a gigantic revelation of
the latest and most modern man
euvers, the formations of infantry,
cavalry, and light artillery.
