THE CHRYSANTHEM FAIR,

Yesterday was the third day of this
flower exhibit, and the interest is increas-
ing as WAS demonstrated by the large at
tendance yesterday afternoon and even
ing. If such is possible, the flowers seem
10 be growing in beauty and tender Tan
guage, inviting and seductive, rs beauti-
fully expressed in the EAGLE of yesterday:
"Plumy petals of pink and snow, of cream
and Misunderstanding over, rolling under
and floating out--in endless variety and
profusion OF com animation"
Some change in the clustering had
good effect. The ladies, upon urgent
solicitation, will continue the exhibit
ton today-all day. The admission Is
10 cents. After dinner the purchasers
of plants will receive rebate
to the amount OF admission upon their
purchases. Soon as a purchase Is made
the florist or sale lady will deduct this
amount from the price paid for the plant.
The ladies have worked untiringly to
make this exhibit the finest ever shown in
Wichita. and have done so; but they viii
not make their expenses unless they have
large number OF patrons today, and 1t is
hoped every one will visit the fair today.
Miss Ida Mills of the city schools
brought her pupils and paid their admis.
sion Yesterday afternoon. Miss Mills did
this for the pleasure aud education of her
scholars, believing the lessons received
aud the impressions impaired to the mind
through these wonderful productions of
nature by cultivation, to be OF more benefit
than weeks of study from books This
spirit is highly commendable and speaks
tiatteringly of the public spirit and earnest
ness of this teacher aud competent in
structress.
( Mrs. Huntington of Los Angeles. CAL,
visited the fair and expressed herself in
most emphatic words of approval. She
said the array of blooms was equal to
! those on the Pacific coast, and compli-
| meuted the ladies' of Wichita for bringing
these plants and blooms TO such perfection.
| Rev. Vale of the Unitarian church OF
/ this city was unqualified in his expressions
/ of admiration; he said the exhibit sur
/ passed anything of the kind he had seen,
t aud was astonished when he learned that
all was the product of Wichita.
! Remembe today is the last opportunity
to see and purchase these lovely cut
blooms and unequalled plants.
