space and accommodation and Secretary
Irwin is kept busy trying 70 ind room for
all. There is no question of the success Of
the fair and it is now simply question of
how much do our people appreciate the
efforts which have been made TO make this
the greatest and best fair ever held in the
state. Ia every department the display
promised will excel anything OF tue kind
ever attemp pied and the enthusiasm OF our
merchants shows that they have keen
realization of the benei accruing
through the agency ot the fair
Every day demonstrates that no mistake
was made in the selection OF Wichita as
state fair headquarters. The readiness
with which people can reach our city Will
cause many to attend this year who have
heretofore felt it burden and a hardship.
The cheap excursion rates and special
trains on all railroads will have a ten-
dency to increase the attendance and with
good weather we will show to the man
ayers OF the state fair that their work has
not been il vain.
NOTES
Take the little ones TO the fair. Several
new and entertaining features have been
arranged for the benefit OF the children.
Arrange your business and home affairs
week. You will be amply repaid for so
doing.
1t would be hard matter for any one
to make up a program for the fair and
have a best day. The character OF the en-
tertaiument is such that every day must
be as good as is possible 10 make 1t.
The running-horse men have not been
overlooked this year. Several races have
been provided and the entry list promises
to be full in each. These horses are on
their way to Texas and many Of them are
state" horses.
The wheelmen promise TO have every
race well filled aud as their races are open
TO all and under the sanction of the rules
of the League Of American Wheelmen,
there should be some record-breaking in
this department..
While many new stalls have been added
to those already on the ground, it may be
necessary to bu Id others. The indication,
point to this largest display of draft aud
general purpose horses ever witnessed west
of the Missouri river.
The entries in all races of the Kansas As
ISOLATION of Trotting Horse Breeders are
large and demonstrate that the gentlemen
who compose this association appreciate
the Wichita track. All races of this assoc
citation will take place during the fair next
week.
From now until next Sunday the horses
entered in the speed department will
arrive and to those who love the harness
horse, an opportunity will be given TO
| judge Of their quality by visiting the fair
/ grounds any morning to watch the work

| Many people look upos balloon ascen-
sious" at fairs as "chestIfuts. Ia many
respects they are, but the artists who have
| been employed TO make the ascensiona
this year will demonstrate that their en-
hibtion Is no chestnut, but something en-
| tirely new, novel and exciting.
In many cities where the state fair i.
| held, the business houses are closed during
the afternoons of two or three days. 1t has
always been custom Try TO close here one
day at least, and We offer the suggestion TO
his honor, the mayor. that an early procla-
nation might be beneficial this year.
