much as the grown people
The free-for-ail trot will be grand
sight if the present clearing indica tons
hold out.

starter in getting off big field on q
muddy track.
There are more women in Wichita
who take an interest inthe races than
any place in the state
With thirteen horses in the 2:27 trot
not one was left outside the flag. That
indicates a good finish

red from judging.
TO-DAY AT THE FAIR.
The management of the State fair
have provided an attractive program
in the speed ring for every day and it
is a fact that at no meeting Of the
year has the races been more closely
or holly contested than those Of the
week now nearly closed. Owing TO
this fact. the program for today is the
best Of the entire week Two unfinished
poir ~ iah he de-I
in one heat and in neither can any man
guess the winner; the free for all pace
with such noted horses as Kansas,
Wesley r, John Carpenter, Lady Not
tingham and others equally fast; PIG
trot with eight horses ready for the
word; the match race for $500 between
the Wichita horses Gordon Cummings
and Patchen Wilkes Maid is a card
which cannot help to please and should
attract the largest crowd Of the week.
The bad weather of the week has had
a depressing effect upon the managers
OF the fair, but today should bring
them entirely "out OF the woods" fnan-
cially.
There can be no doubt of the good
effect the fair has had upon our peo-
pie and today should see the largest
crowds of the week.
Everything will be on the grounds
Z
the week and IL is worthy the visit or
a second visit TO see the grandest and
best exhibits of any state fair ever held
, in Kansas.
/ The visitors are patient, they realize
that everything is being done for their
entertainment and our home people
should join them in making the last
day the best Of the entire week
