FINE ARTS.
This department is of special interest
owing to the large and important exhi-
bition of original studies by Professor
Adams Of Paramount college.
Professor Adams shows between forty
and fifty examples, principally in water
colors, fresh from nature, all of them
betraying the hand of the MASTER
fdultlesS in drawing and rich and full in
color. A number Of these pictures with
others were recently exhibited at thN
Boston Art club. of which Mr.. Adams Is
"a member From the Boston Press we
quote the following:

IN THE SPEED RING.
A better day for the opening Of the
Kansas state fair races could not have
been impagined, and those who took ad
vantage of it were well repaid. While
the crowd was not as large in the grand
stand as it should have been, yet the
bleaohers were packed and the fences
lined with the lovers of fast harsefiesh.
The track was a few seconds slow yes
terdaw owing to the loose sand on the
stretches. 1t is a popularity, however,
Of this track that the more 1T is uused
the faster 1t becomes.
As is customary with opening days,
the racing did not begin as early as adj
vertised. All the races We're finished ex-
cept the 2:21 trot. This will be the first
thing on on today's program. following

agement desires TO especially emphasize
the fact that today the horses will be
called at 1 O'Clock and started promptly
at ] 80 O'Clock.
An additional attraction for the
speed ring has been secured for this
afternoon which is indeed a novelty.
