THE ENTRIES.
Some Crack Horses That Have
Been Named for the Mis-
souri, State Fair
Races.

1t is Just one more week and then
begins the greatest fair ever held in
Central Missouri, that OF the Missouri
State Fair, at the magnificent fair
grounds in this city. The conditions
this year are more favorable than ever
before. The premium list is much
larger, the reputation of the Associa-
ton for the performance Of its every
contract grows better each year and
the interest that is being taken in the
event by the railroads is attracting
an attention, not Of . email territory,
as heretofore bat of q vast area of
country. The Missouri Pacific and
the NJ X. 4 T. roads have taken the
initiative in the matter of rates and
say to the people of the state if they
want to attend the fair they can do
SO from any point on their lines at
the extremely liberal rate of one
fare for the round trip good
for the entire week. The announce
ment of the rates naturally created .
great deal Of comment and excite
ment among the passenger officials Of
the other lines and the result is that
the entire country is attracted to Sc
dslis and to the state fair. Special
trains will be run from every point on
all the lines of road entering Sedalia
on which the regular trains do not
arrive and depart at convenient hours
Secretary Burris Office is now one
Of the busiest places in the city. The
mails are daily burdened with in
quiries and entries in the departments
not already closed. and to properly
care for it requires the services Of sew
eral clerks.
There will in ell probability this
year be no merchants display as gen.
tlemen in thst line have not taken
any active interest in it. and as . con-
sequence the directors have ordered
the floral hall turned over to the dis
play Of agricultural and horticultural
products. The demands for space are
quite large in these classes and it is
thought the entire space will be
utilized.
There have already been quite .
number of entries in the cattle, hog
and sheep rings and prospects are
very bright for large display.
The contract for the music for fair
week has not been let as yet although
Secretary Burr has had offers from .
number of first class bands throughout
the state. This contract will be let
early this week.
Applications for booths and ground
privileges are coming in at about the
usual rate. A sale of the choice of
positions will be held at the fair
grounds on Thursday afternoon Of this
week at 3 clock at which time they
will be cold at auction.
The race program however is what
is delightIng hOrsemen and those who
like to follow the races. Horses and
entries are coming in every day and
some good ones too.
