First OF all one found oneself in u
midsummer forest where the Queen of
Butterflies fitted like a su1,beam-said
wee bit of 1.-THE loneliness being no
other than the daughter of a we'll
known millionaire. In her whimsical
little apology for a costume she flashed
and flashed and danced-outdoing the
Fanny Elsslers of the ballet. There
was a sort of dreamy ~vivacity about
her little figure that forced applause
from the audience.
Then fairies drifted in and out and
She earth-children-like hurts of wood

Oberon and Titania came-it was like

man Drake wrote once and called

Then came a "bright embroidered
train of butterflies" all light and
dainty as wind-blown leaves. but one
was queen of all the dancing throng.
She was Hazel Henderson, a trim little
maiden with the sunniest of smiles and
the trimmest of limbs.
What a medley of youth and color
and agility her dance was. No wonder
folk applauded.
Then there was the miss of 16 and
the miss of rs. She was not very plen-
tiful but She was there.
These butterfly balls are not new to
the country at large. They have been
held in different cities, with similar re-
suits, within the past few yenrs. One
in Cincinnati caused onsternation some
years ago. One in Detroit, which was
gotten sp by the a~ristocrats of the city,
was doing very well. when the news

disgrace. They don't have any more
of them in Cincinnati or Detroit and
there is hardly any question but that

6now any better than TO expose them
selves to the criticism of refinement,
they can hardly be sympathised with
by those who went to the ball to ''see
what they could see"
A great many pople will uphold the
parents who took their little girls home
when it was evident that the enter
tainment excited morbid prurience
from the opposite sex.
One Chicago reporter started in to
draw the picture like this;
One sees a ballet. One never has
seen such a ballet. just a futter Of
children, dancing like thistledown,
cleaning like star-dust, flu, flushing
ike %windblown rosebuds. 1t is all
femininity and childhood-frapped in
to one. A riot of juvenility and tights; a
whirr of nursery bread-and-milk and
lightsome loveliness. Youth and dainty
society lassiess, whimsically out Of
place,
But the editor stopped him there.
The butterflies Charity ball was a
strictly heightened affair, and must not
be harshly criticised.
And a week Of unrestrained and i'm
moral diversion was permitted to exist
In Charity's Name. But, now, after all
Is over, the papers are discussing the
propriety of the whole affair and not
the least number of them say that it
were better had the butterfly ball not
been had at all, Parents are becoming
more indignant, and the lady who had
charge of the costuming, who is, by the
way, a real ballet mystery from a Chi
cago theater noted for its undress ex-
t-ravaganzas, is being roundly and
soundly scalded for the license She
used. 1t would be difficult to give a
pen description Of the opening enter
tainment and pictures must be r%esorted

is divided into q number of departments.

could have used a thousand more beds
last night if they had had them. The
Metropole, Manhattan and Occiden-
tai reported virtually the same thing,
all agreeing that the number of visitors
had completely supplied them. However,
it is safe to say that of the thousands and
thousands that are in the city this morn
ing not man passed an uncomfortable
night if he did not so will it. Everything
started off gaily and brightly yesterday
morning. The gray and gloomy drift OF
nimbus clouds from the southeast was for
gotten in the holiday attire and gay colors
in the hurrying, scurrying crowd on the
street beneath. People as early as
o'clock passed and repassed up and
down Main and Douglas. BY o'clock
the street cars at every trip were loaded
chuck full. 1t was comfortably seated
crowd, but a jana misunderstanding
and on-top-the-car jam. This continued
all day. The crowd punched on Douglas
and Main never thinned out or decimated
but grew towards noon and taxed the
ear company to move it.

perfect turmoil of excitement and busl-

proud All the flowers are beautiful, but
this corner full of the most ravishing col
orings of nature are worthy a visit and
close study. Floral hall is considered one
of the most complete exhibits on the
ground. Every foot allotted for floral dis
plays is taken.
The stalls and pens were full of specta-
tors yesterday. The superintendent of the
different exhibits are all uniformly polite
and ready to answer any and all questions
that may be asked by the curious or YER
dant
The numerous private exhibits were
farther enhanced yesterday by the addition
of orchestras, concerts and minstrelsy This
increased the already overlooking crowd
and breathing room was at premium
The restaurants ran their dinner hour up
till after o'clock before they could satisfy
the hungry horde entirely. The museums,
side shows and the merry go-round raked
in the dimes from morning until night.
There was no relaxation on the part of
any one or any concern. The greatest
activity characterized every portion of the
big fair-a fair whose like has never been
seen in the state of Kansas before.
Nobody can say what today
will be or what it will bring forth. The
attendance was so large yesterday that all
guesses on today's chances have been
thrown over. There will be no room on
the ground today for superfluous action or
breathing. The man who misses the fair
today will miss the sight of the greatest
aggregation of people at a Kansas fair
that has ever been seen. Today is the big
day. There are a number of extra attrac-
tions which are mentioned in another

With the blue ribbons yesterday came
larger attendance that filed every nook
and craney of the fair grounds and spread
the hard cash around in a careless sort of
way, that would have bluffed the free
coinage advocates out of their boots, and
coaxed broad smile upon the faces of the
officers and the managers of the various
exhibits on the ground. Tuesday night
witnessed an influx of people into Wichita
that has never been seen before and is only
surpassed by the trainloads of last night.
Tuesday night all the hotel rooms in
town were taken and the capacity of the
beds all doubled. Bunks were put in the
halls and every available space in the local
hostelries occupied. The down boarding
and lodging houses were filled up at an
early hour and even the suburban houses

of enterprises The number of the people

facilities had to be secured. The streams
of iostling humanity elbowed into the Art
hall: out of the Art hall into the Floral
and horticultural halls: thence TO the
stalls and pens, and the poultry coops'
and afterward into the hundred attrac-
tions all over the grounds. The eXhlDlVs
had all been put in place; the Art hal4 hau
assumed a perfect appearance OF compleUe-

There was no fault-fnding as
is so generally the case. but the whole
affair run off nicely and with the greatest
harmony. Art hall, in state OF comple-

Some Matters OF Interest-Speeih
Features for Today.

The races yesterday were the chief at
traction at the fair. The amphltheater
flied up-clean up at 2 O'Clock and what
is wonderful for horse race, the crowd
stayed with the races until the last heat
was won and it was so dark that the
starter couldn't read the time made from
the time-keeper's board across the track.
The crowd was interested TO man and re-
manned to see the last step taken.
Why are the races here so superior? A
prominent horseman who has horses on
the track here answered this question
yesterday. "See here" he said, Il will
explain. These races are all for blood;
there is no skullduggery about them.
Every man tries the metal of his animal.
There is very little jokeying or none here.
What you see is straight business. And
why? Because Wichita is the wtnd-up oft
