The sale of season tickets for the South

already begun. These tickets are on sal,
| at Winch's book store, the Wichita Bool
company, Turf Exchange, 2l9 east Doug
las, and at the association Offices in tn
city building These tickets are very de
sirable this year for they are good at tn
gate at any time during the fair, and a
all private carriages are to be admitted tt
the grounds free of charge. the holder
of season tickets will be in much
better shape to enjoy the fai
this year than upon any formel
occasion. Every person loyal Il
the interests of Wichita should show an
appreciation Of the efforts of the fair man
agement to present so great an exposition,
by purchasing literally Of this class oil
tickets. Each one of these tickets sold is
to the association a sort of guarantee fund
The price is so small that every person can
afford TO purchase them, and there is nc
reason why 5000 of this class of tickets
should not be sold The number has been
able number, and not one should rema in
unsold on next Saturday night.
These tickets are good for six days, and
! 1t requires no mathematician TO know that
1t is Il saving to the purchaser. Buy the
season tickets and buy them early. The
Southern Kansas fair must be maintained
and this is grand opportunity to uphold
the hands of those who are working so
hard to bring thousands of people with
their dollars to our very door.
Yesterday contracts were perfected for
several important parts of the work upon
the grounds. Daisy will have charge of
/ the sprinkiing arrangements and says he
will insure comfort to all who attend, at
least so far AS his department is concerned.
| The association have advertised every
day to be a best day. The program as now
being prepared shows this to be fact.
Heretofore Monday has been looked upon
AS lost day. This year some of the best
races are set for that day. The 2:24 trot
for $500, and the 3-year-old trot for $500,
together with tina race for southern Kan
sas and Oklahoma horses, and the great
Butler com bination will be presented on
Monday to inaugurate the opening of the
greatest fair OF the southwest. The But
Ter combination has already arrived and
are stationed in stalls one to twelve, being
just south of the secretary's office. In
skeleton wagon race at Sioux Falls Sept.
14th between Miss Williams of Kansas and
Miss Mckinney of California, the former
won by length in L 46J5 which beats the
worlds record by two seconds. These
ladies will attempt to beat this record over
the Wichita track next week and may
make the attempt on Monday, These are
the ladies that will ride in the great ten
mile race for the championship, changing
horses at the end of each mile in front of
the granG-stand.
Every morning from now until the
gates ale thrown open on Monday morn
ing, lovers of fast horses will have an op-
pertunity TO see some of the fastest horses
in the world worked upon the track.
Those who are judges of speed and horses,
say that there is no question about the
fastness of the Wichita track, and the
bicycle sulkies are flying around in great
shape. Several of this class of vehicles
are already upon the ground.
Nearly every day some new addition has
to be made to the buildings already on the
grounds. But as there must be
an end OF all things, the
association officers think there
will be an end to this. General Superin-
tendent of Art Hall r. NJ. Piatt has
number of applications for space in his
departpl and he has already begun the
work of decorating the hall. Anyone who
contemplates making an exhibit and has
not booked an entry for space will confer
a favor upou Mr.. Piatt by leaving their
names and the amount of space required
with him on or before Saturday at noon.
This is deemed necessary because of the
limited room in the building.
The press arrangements this year
will be under the watchful eye
of Mr.. Gerald Volk. and no
better person could have been selected |
