West to be Present.
Sedalia never lnaugurates an enterprise
that is not successful and the reason Is
that our public spirited citizens and bust
ness men are too proud of the reputation
already achieved by the Queen City of the
Prairies as one Of the most wide awake,
prosperous, and enterprising cities of the
great west, to hazard it, by attempting any
enterprise without first knowing tina, il can
be made . success and then determining
that If
ENERGY AND BRAINS
are worth anything, it shall be success.
The spirit which has ever animated our
citizens In the projection OF every move
ment which would rebound to the glory
and prosperity OF our beautiful
city is possessed to an enthusiastic degree
by the officers, directors and members Of
the Sedalia Exposition Association. The
result is that after two annual expOsitiOns
of most gratifying success, the manage
ment comes before the people with the as
surance that the Third Annual Exposition
SHALL ECLIPSE ALL FORMER EFFORTS
in this direction ever made i'm Central
Missouri, and compare fayorably with any
ever held in the state. That this promise
will be fully verified, there can be little
doubt, when it is remembered that the
directory of the Association is composed
OF gentlemen noted for their
enterprise, energy and ambition, men who
never do things by halves, and who, for
these reasons, are always successful in their
undertakings.
The exposition will commence Septem-
Der 9th and continue five days. The Off
GERS and directors have been industriously
at work for months, and all of the arrange
ments have been nearly completed. The

eating the muniicent sum of

THE RACES

messed in Sedalia, the running races giving
promise of being unusually fine. The
handsome premiums offered will attract
fast steppers from many sections of the
AT least one hundred and fifty
