Everything Points TO One OF the Most Success
ful Meetings Ever Held Here.
Several prominent breeders of cattle in
Missouri and Illinois have been making
Inquiries abont the Southern Kansas Dis
trict fair The Indications now are that
the cattle pens will have to be consider
ably enlarged to accommodate the many
exhibitors from orr own and adjacent
states
The swine department, too. promises to
be of unusual interest this year. Breeders
of all kinds of hogs, knowing that this
fair is held in the midst of the pork pack
,ng district and that good market is
always open to the hog raiser, have con-
cluded to exhibit and possibly increase
their sales
In the poultry department the breeders,
at home and abroad, have been recognized
in very liberal manner and great care
has been taken towards making
this exhibit one of the best that
has ever heen held in the
state. Many of our local breeders are al
seady at work upon the big birds that
yhey propose to show and it is safe to say
ere made. Mr.. John Schott one of our
Oldest citizens and great fancier of fine
poultry has some very fine specimen fowls
of the different varieties raised by him,
already selected and will be glad to show
The public his yards at any time. A visit
to these yards will show some of the finest
Buff, White and Partridge Cochin fowls
as well as some of the handsomest Silver
laced Wyandottes that is possible to find
at any place. Mr.. Schott says that every
fair helps his business more than any
thing else could possibly do and he wants
TO see a permanent exposition formed
here, where permanent buildings
can be provided for all classes
of exhibitors. In this he is right. The
attractiveness of a fair to exhibitors, de-
ponds largely upon the facilities given
them for displays, and if the arrangements
are of a permanent character they know
what they may expect when they come
again. Reports from all over the district
are OF a very encouraging character. The
magnificent premiums offered for agricul-
tural products have had an effect to rouse
many of our farmer friends to make Sc
lection of their best products for exhibit
zion at the 1892 fair. As has been said be-
fore, the best of the exhibits will be care
aully marked and sent to the Kansas ex-
hibit at the worlds fair at Chicago. In
this way, the Visitors at Chicago will have
an opportunity of seeing what can be done
in Kansas and there is no doubt of the
beneficial effects they will have.
1t is an assured fact, that the fair this
year will bring more people to Wichita
shan any other agency, and the officers of
the Fair association are leaving no stone
Nnturned to make the visit a pleasant one.
The ENTERTAINMENT will commence OH
Monday, September 2G and will be kept
alive until Saturday night, October 1.
The premium lists are now ready for
distribution and can be had upon applica
rion at the secretary's offices. Any one
who may know of some one who might
become interested in the fsir, if they will
leave such names at the Office, will have
lists sent to them by mail. There is an
edition of 10000 copies and therefore
plenty for all.
1t may be of interest to some readers to
know that the champion yearling PAGER
OF the United States will De at the fair
and will exhibit for speed. \
yearling that has already, tn is
season, paced full mile in 2.2515 and is
regarded as phenomenon. The same STA
BILE will also contain a two year-old PAGER
that recently paced a mile in 2:l6j5. This
animal will also be moved for the enter
tainment of the many lovers of fast horses
The great Butler combination with their
hurdle races, fiat races, umbrella races,
chariot races with lady riders and their
great ten mile race with lady riders,
changing horses i'll front of the grand
stand at the end of each mile, will be
among the many attractions this year.
This combination is acknowledged to be
the best on the road, and as they will ap-
pear at no other fair in Kansas this year.
there will be crowds to see it, They are
now making some of the largest fairs in
the northwest and have notified the secre-
tary of the fair association that they will
be here. and that the Wichita track has
been selected by Miss Mckinney and
Miss Williams as the best for them
10 rnu their match off upon.
All the horses named in the stake races
are making their way Wichitaward. Some
are now in Missouri, others in Michigan,
Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Colorado. Indl-
ana, and even as far east as New York
All are working finely, and many of them
have reduced their records. One thing
can be relied upon; when they get to
Wichita they will al be keyed up, and the
fastest races of their campaign will be
fought here. 1t would be hard to guess
at the time TO be made this fall, as there
are so many good horses entered and all
going so well that what may now be the
slow horse OF the gang may be the winner
here.
Everything points to the greatest fair
ever held in Kansas, and, as there is much
TO do yet, in order that the perfection
hoped for may be attained, it requires the
cooperation of all citizens in order that
shis may be the fair of Kansas and the
sutire southwest. Wichita is well and
savorably known wherever the Southern
Kansas fair is known. No one who has
ever attended this fair has had occasion to
speak other than good word tor Wichita.
and no organization in our midst has done
more to advertise the Peerless Princess
than has the Southern Kansas Fair asso-
citation.
