CHILDREN'S DAY.
THE YOUTHS OF WICHITA WILL BE
HAPPY TODAY.
The Fair Association Extends Them q
Cordial Welcome to the Grounds.
The Races Yesterday Were all That
Could be Desired-A Coed Program
For This Afternoon.
Today will be children's day at the fair.

l
| Every child from one day to ID years, if
accompanied by mother or father, will be
admitted free and the fair association will
do the nice thing by them. They propose
| to treat them to the finest line of juvenile
amusements they ever saw. and the circus
will not be "in it, with them. The merry
go-round will be running ia full blast, the
bucking pony will be, ridden by Broncho
Bill in all his glory and will furnish great
| big chunks of delight for 1000 boys and
girls. Aud then there is the balloon rs
cension and parachute jump.
| Nobody has ever lived so far who has
conceived of anything capable of giving
children more delight than a balloon as
cension. How pleasant 1t is to soc their
happy faces rs they stand looking
around while the big monster is going
through the process of imitation. And then
when the ropes are cut and the balloon as
cends how happy the children become.
| Aud that is not all. How many little
hearts bound with JOY when Prof. Squires
and Madam Camee go up dangling at the
end OF the parachute rope aud then drop
| from an altitude of 4, 900 feet. 1t is some
thing that brightens the life of the boy
and the girl and by all means every parent
should see that his children are all at the
fair today. Knowing the trouble il is TO
crowd children in cars the Electric Street
| Railway Company will put all the cars
they can possibly spare on the South Main
street service so that every child can have
a seat if possible. While the day Is
dedicated to the children it should not be
| forgotten that it will be the big day OF the
! fair and the attractions for grown people
viii he better and more numerous than
they have been at any time this week.
The races will he intensely exciting, as the
purses ara good and the horses the very
best in the west. The fair association
have this year established "A reputation
for Wichita as fair and racing center
that will insure immense fairs in the
future, and the people of Wichita should
show their appreciation by turning out in
large numbers today.
