there were representative people who had
come to see the fair. Wellington, Win
field, Arkansas City, Caldwell, Kingman,
FL Dorado, Newton, Hutchinson, Abilene,
Salina and all surrounding towns had
large delegations present.
The rain kept up all morning and left a
great portion of the visitors in an unde-
cided mind. The dampness deferred the
people from going to the ground until
after dinner. There was heavy travel
all morning long to be sure, but it was
not what could be called a jam. 1t was
not until after high noon. when the rain
had ceased and little blue riffs of sky were
seen here and there and the rays of the
sun Ishot out occasionally that the rush
came.
And then it was found well-nigh impos-
sible to move them fast enough. At
Douglas and Main a great assem- blage con-
gregated which four or five carloads did
not decimate much and which taxed the
company to its uttermost to get to the
grounds. But this they did, and, once
going, with dispatch. A great many more
people were hauled yesterday than the
DAY before and, in spite of the Indictment
weather, the attendance was three times

A BULLY LOCKED UP.

A fellow generally known about town
filed ND Yesterday and about noon board
ed a car TO go to the fair grounds. AS has
been the case all week, the car was packed
and when this fellow could not get his
desired accommodations, which seemed 70

began 20 use obscene language, although
there were several ladies on the car at the
time.
Some of the street car managers called
upon Officer Sutton TO take him from the
car. which he did, but when he tried TO
take the fellow TO the cooler scrap

club was taken from him and thrown
away and the two clinched, but In the fall

was covered all over with mud. Il Is very
likely, however, that he would have over

school of short hand and type writing. In
both OF these places were instruments and
operators who explained certain parts Of
their different methods.
The south side of the east wing was
made quite attractive by several pieces of
Mrs. NJ. J. Sherman's excellent work OF
art, oil paintings and crayon. Below it
was an artistic array of the Lonsdale
Pharmaceutical company's different rem
edies.
A lady who occupied position on this
side, making lace was eagerly watched by
the crowd, and, indeed, her work was
curiosity. She seemed equal TO the occa-
sion and answered the questions that
poured in from all sides add at the same
time kept up rapid pace at her work.
Sawyer, the photographer, took up the
remainder of the east wing with an excel
lent display of his work. There were pho
tographs and portraits of nearly every
size and descriptions; but the drawing card
of this display was the photograph OF
Wichita society lady's foot and he is offer
ing premium for the person guessing the
owner of this foot.
In the west wing Gus A. Miller, the
artistic sign painter, exhibited some of his
best work to advantage. The Southwest
ern Business college was next 70 him with
some of the specimens of their professor of
penmanship's skill and it makes beauti-
tul display.

In the center of the hall Is large square

Except on the pattern hats, no premiums
have been awarded in any of these depart

today.
There is large addition that was lately
added to the north wing, and in that are

black turkies; game cocks; pigeons of
every variety; and tame rabbits and white
rats. The poultry department is never
without a full quota of sight-seers
The absence of the races yesterday was
the only thing to be regretted, but the
rain had rendered the track too slippery
and heavy for use. The management left
no methods untried whereby they might
make the track fit for use. But it was too
wet. Private vehicles were turned on it
with the idea of breaking up the surface,
but with little success. 1t was also har-
rowed, but the rain had got its work in.
The amphitheatre, though, was full to
overlooking. every seat being occupied and
the big assemblage waited patiently for
any races or other diversion that might be
offered. No admission fee to the amphi-
theater was charged, and the crowd that
was not on the grounds had the sight ct
two very pretty running races, one a mIA
the other three-fourths, and the exciting
chariot race. The chariot race stirred up
the crowd and demonstrated how ripe it
was for good sharp pace or trot if the
track had only permitted.
The prospect for today in case the
weather doesn't interfere again is Halter
ing. All yesterdays races will be trans
ferred until this afternoon, when both to-
days and yesterdays races will all be
given. 1t will take quick work and which
will please the crowd more, very short in
tervals between heats. This afternoon is
going to be the greatest race day of the
fair.
The track will be in splendid condition
and the horses in good trim and started
for blood. Not only in racing way will
Friday stand prominent, but great many
sagacious judges in such matters claim
that the crowd on the ground today will
equal if not surpass in numbers that of
yesterday.
1t is an assured fact that the admission
fee will never be more fully remunerative
than today, considering that the same
exhibits will be on hand and that the
number of races will be doubled.
On account of the bad weather the people
kept strolling over the grounds under
shelter, and the art ball was the center of
attraction. Large crowd tbronged this

The numerous shows, the pens, stalls,
poultry shows and merry go rounds did
an immense business and larger than
usual from the fact that there were no
races and the crowd was all on foot in
search of something to amuse them.
The poultry show is not by any means
the least attractive portion of the exposi-
ton. There are fowls of every variety
here, big chickens and little chickens

as large. Every available vehicle In the
city was put into use as a conveyance and
the crowd on the ground at o'clock
was large enough to satisfy the
most skeptical that a mountaineering
rain couldn't keep a Kansas crowd back
when there was big fair to be seen.
With the exception of two little showers
of minutes duration, there was no rain
in the afternoon and the sight-seers on the
ground had every opportunity that a
brighter day might have afforded. And
they were pleased too. On every side ex-
clamation of surprise and admiration ere
heard.
Outside of the races nobody was disap-
pointed. The sandy, seive-like ground
throughout the whole fair grounds showed
DO effects of the rain and was in the alb
sence of dust also, as clean as anybody
could wish. The jam was very great. 1t
was purely a matter of physical strength
and mental determination to get through
any Of the exhibit halls They were full
to the doors and goOd-sized extension OF
humanity stuck out a few feet at every
entrance. The oil paintings, quilts, Tides,
linens and embroideries in the Art hall
were never without a host OF feml-
nine admirers. The Photographic dis
PLAYS of Baldwin's, Rogers, and
Sawyer's held their own with the rest
of the exhibits. Baldwin's group Is
very artistically arranged and presents a
piece of unique decorative work. Rogers
contains great many finely executed por-
traits. Sawyer's is very handsome also,
and has as one of its attractions the pho
tograph of the bare foot of one OF Wich'
ita's leading society ladies.
