the first day of the fair, whereas the

visitors on Monday. On Monday, how
ever, visitors will be admitted to the
grounds free of charge. The races and the
entertainments in addition to the exhibits
will not commence until Tuesday which is
termed the grand opening day. Wednes-
day will be ladies' day; Thursday Wichita
day; Friday children's day, and Saturday
southwestern counties day.

dental to fair will be in conformity with
the foregoing idea, Amongst the interest
ing displays will be that of Stewart and
Coney's, the labor of construction alone
amounting to over $500; the display OF
stuffed birds by the Wichita university;
the Wichita Pump company, and the
decorations of the floral hall.
On Thursday in honor of Wichita day
the mayor will issue a request that all

The favorite comedy drama of LANE
Eyre with the ever welcome Miss Char
lotte Thompson in the title role, was the
attraction at Jacobs New Lyceum theater
last night. and filled the house with a full
and appreciative audience. The play is an
excellent adaptation of Miss Bronte's
story, and the many fine situations that
lead up to the unraveling of the plot were
admirably sustained by Miss Thompson
and her talented company The gentle
but impressive acting of the fair star
reached the hearts of her audience and
brought tears to many eyes of the gentier
sex, who deeply sympathizei in the recital
Of her sad story of oppression and gloritied
in her final triumph, the applause at times
being as hearty as well deserved. Mr..
William Burroughs. the leading man,
gave an excellent representation OF
gruff Lord Rochester. and j. n, Bunney
as the affable Achille de Leon was all that
could be desired. Miss Ethel Douglass
made quite hit as Mrs. Reed. and acted
and looked the part to perfection, while
Miss Josephine Kent as Lady 1ngraham,
her proud daughter deserves mention.
Miss Bessie Perry as Mrs. Fairfax, gave a
finished representation Of the dutiful
housekeeper and shared in the success OF
the play Mr.. +. II. Stephens as Jacob
