the exhibitor. All duplicate samples to
become the property of the board of man
ayers of the said Kansas exhibit, to be
used in the collective display of Kansas
products in the Kansas building at said
exposition.
From the foregoing it is apparent that
the Fair association intend to have some
of the best products of southern Kansas.
The farmer can now prepare his ground
for some of the various premiums offered,
and it is foregone conclusion that the
state fair, which gives the same class of
specials, will not have better competition
than does that of the Southern Kansas as
ISOLATION. The number of inquiries from
abroad have never been so great as this
year. Prominent exhibitors at all large
western fairs are anxious to know what
Wichita is doing or will do in 1892. There
is desire on the part Of the association to
have the premium list ready for distribu-
tion not later than May %, and in
order to be near that date those
who propose using the premium
list as an advertising medium
should make their arrangements as
promptly as possible Mr.. Z. 7. Allen
has charge of the advertising and will
call upon the merchants and others of the
city in this interest. The indications are
now that with proper encouragement the
fair of 1892 will be as far ahead of the 1891
fair as it would have been ahead of its
predecessors had the weather been more
favorable The inquiries from the owners
of race horses are coming in thick and
fast. The reputation of the Wichita track
is known all over the country, and the
horsemen who have visited it once are
always ready to come back, for they know
what kind of treatment awaits them. The
probability is that the fields of horses this
year will be the finest ever seen west of
the Mississippi or east of the Rockies.
The Southern Kansas Fair is one OF the
institutions of Southern Kansas, the time
for the holding of which is rs eagerly
looked forward to as that of the arrival of
a circus in Kansas or the great St. Louis
fair in Missouri, and each year should
show some improvement or new features
added. Under the management it is safe
to say that nothing will be overlooked in
1892. Let every citizen do his or her part
toward making this fair the "biue ribbon
fair" of the southwest.
