The general board meeting of the South
ern Kansas Fair association, with full at
tendance, was held yesterday in the Sedg-
wick. The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved.
The committee on grounds reported a
proposition from Col. English, which was
received and filed
The committee on buildings asked for
further time, wishing to withhold the re
port until the general board took more
more definite action in the premises.
Under the head of privileges all gam
bling devices were barred from the
grounds. Pools by reputable persons
might be sold on the races. Parties desir-
ing to distribute bills or advertising mat
ter must see the committee and make ar
rangements the same as for the privileges

into three prizes and awarded to the coun-
ty making the best and largest display.

was opened TO the world and none
of the couties represented seemed to fear
the competition.
On motion it was determined that no
speed entries should be made conditionally
j. e. no entry money could be returned on
account of horse being protested Moneys
would not be returned unless under the
rules governing the American trotting
association.
Mr.. McNair reported that the speed ring
looked very promising and that these
races could be the greatest ever held in
Kansas and that some of the finest stock
in the United States would be present.
He had letters from all points between the
Rockies and New York In this connec-
ton Mr. Cook said doubtless the speed
ring looked well enough but he wanted
the people 70 know that the outlook for
general agricultural display was more
promising and produced letters and figures
TO Substantiate his position.
Mr.. Wilson said he waeted 10 see the
best stock f all kinds and the best farm
products represented but the main object
of the fair was TO stimulate the home peo-
pie and he believed it was doing il. If
Mr.. Cook and Mr. McNair could import
anything 10 lay over, what could be
raised in the counties Of the fair district
be wanted 20 see them. This thought was
seconded by all of the alliance representa-
tives present whose confidence in home
productions was not at all shaken by the
promises from abroad
