Bluegrass day will. be fttingly observed
on Thursday. The officials of Lexington,
Versailles and all other surrounding
towns will be present, and Prof. Henry
Saxtons Band will lead an imposing
procession. As Lexington and Frank
fort have long been at "outs'' this will
be occasion for formal makeup and
will give an opportunity for display of
''hostillies ceasing."
Centennial day will be Friday, when
monument will be unveiled on Ann
street by the State Historical Society. An
elaborate programme is being arranged
and gentlemen of prominence will be the
orators. There will be six hundred

form during the entire four days in addi-
ton to many other attractions, such as
balloon ascensions, boat races, etc. The
naval fireworks at night on the Ken
lucky river banks will be on an extern
sive scale. On the whole, this will be a
brilliant affair in the "Old Capital City,"
