Never in the history Of the fair has
there been so much encOurag cement for
the officials as now. There seems to be
a spontaneous outburst of interest in
favor of making this, the third year.
the best of all Daily inquiry for stalls,
epace in art hall and for privileges are
being received. 1t has been decided by
the board to add a new feature TO the
usual offer of premiums, that of offer
ing a premium for general displays for
townships, and for the purpose of CIV
ing as much information as possible the
secretary Mr.. Smith, has carefully Sc
lected township superintendent for
this county.
Any township outside OF this county
desiring to enter will confer a favor by
so informing the secretary and also
sending in a suitable name as superin-
tendent, which appointment will be
made and all necessary information CIV
en- promptly So there may be no one
shut out or have any occasion for fault
finding.
Wichita is gaining daily in its al
ready established headquarters for the
finest horses in the southwest. There is
just finishing an excellent half-mile
track for training purposes So those
who wish can have a chance 10 train
their horses on either half or mile track.
Which by some horsemen Is believed to
be an advantage. There will be some
r''khnkers" go out on the grand circuit
from training on our fast mile track
that will make the towns of fine horses
open their eyes, and by theirrecOrds
show the people that we have the eli
mate and track 10 justify Wichita's
reputation as the true home Of the fast
horse.
The present rains assure us one of
the grandest agriculture displays the
southwest has ever seen. The race pro-
gram has been sent out and word comes
that the association will have one Of
the finest lines of horses entered here
seen in the west. No one thing done by
the association has caused so much
friendly interest to be manifested as
that of adding a series of running races
TO each days program. This is the first
year the Kansas State Fair has done
this and from the interest shown in
them the running horse should always
be remembered. There will be a fine
one-third mile bicycle track built in
side the mile track far enough from the
fence so as 70 be entirely out of the way
OF the horses and on which there will
be some attractive races. The matter
IS now in the hands of the Wichita
Wheelmen. which assures the competi-
ton and successful management of this
feature of the fair.
II is hoped that any one interested in
the fair having anything 10 offer that
VIII help the secretary out that they will
call on Mr.. Smith. who Is always will
ing to listen TO any valuable sugges-
tons.
