Nature itself has added more to the
success Of Saline County's Fair this
year, than anything else, by giving
US such delightful weather. But
aside from this one must have some
thing interesting to look at even II
the weather permits his attendance,
and the visitor to the Fair can find
plenty of amusement on the grounds
this year.
The cane man, pop corn man, the
merry-go. round, the great "moral
show" and the balloon man are all
on hand t. entertain you for the
small sum OF ten cents. The races
are all filled with horses that will
contest the result to the bitter end,
and il IL safe to say that Saline
county never had better horses at
fair than she has this year. Jim
Williams Is there with his big and
little horses, Mr.. Terry Is there, and
the stock interest OF all kinds are

Art hall is filled from one end to
the other with neatly arranged dis
plays, and Agricultural hall ought
to be moved just as IL il TO Chicago
for the great Worlds fair. No one
should fail TO attend to-day, for the
program il interesting, and the dis
plays well worth the price of admis-
sion to see. The business men
have all signified their intention TO
close this afternoon 80 that their
help can attend the fair, and the
management have accordingly put
an exceedingly attractive speed ring
program forward for their benefit.

of what the visitor can see:
DRAFT HORSES.
The Fair has given a new source
OF pride In the draft horse line, and
and we are indebted TO Messrs. J. X.
Williams and I. II. Terry for what
we have. These gentlemen are un-
firing In their efforts To improve the
breed and raise the standard of ex-
| cellence Of our draft animals. Thirty
years ago when the patient OK
answered all requirements for road
and draft purposes, such magnificent
specimens Dominent, Rsyard, Ssnsa
SUuci or Gochee, Jr., would have
been considered beings beyond the
realm of human ken. Today Gochee
Jr., has over 800 colts In Saline
county, and the other animals a pro-
portionate number. In Tuesdays
paper brief mention wss made OF
the animals on exhibition by these
gentleman. Last year they both
only had four animals ON exhibition.
but this year Mr.. Williams has five
and Mr.. Terry seven. This Of itself
indicates the growth and healthy
rivalry that il gradually becoming
