COMING SURE
PATCHEN AND GENTRY WILL
RACE AT WICHITA.
Owner Informs Col. TOler That the
Two VIII be on Hand.

Yesterday Colonel II. G. Toler received
word from the owner Of Patchen anil John
r. Gentry that both horses would be here
this fall and would race Wednesday after
noon, September %, in Wichita.
This will be the greatest racing event
of the season and horsemen from all over
the country will be here to see It. 1t is
a noteworthy fact that the two horses
had their origin in this part of the coun-
try, and with the native ozone once more
in their lungs and the soil of their birth
under their feet they will make things
hur1.
Then hundreds who knew the horses in
their youth, when they were colts with no
records and only prospects, will be out to
take another look at them AMI see what
they look like now that they are treated
like princes of the royal blood.
When these horses raced at st Louis
and other eastern points, one dollar was
charged for admission to the grounds and
another dollar to the grand stand The
Wichita management will charge only 80
cents to the grounds and 80 cents to the
grand stand.
This event Will be the great one OF the
fall season in Wichita The two steeds of
worldwide reputation will be given as
hearty a welcome as Dewey Will get when
he returns to his native town in Vermont

ject in keeping their drinking fountains

water. There was a constant inpauring
OF people until late in the evening, and
It was long afterward when the last guest
had bid a lingering farewell.
The grounds were exqulsitely decorated
with numberless Japanese lanterns and
myriads Of electric lights, alternating IN
red, white and blue. They were strung
everywhere. from pillar to post. and the
reflection could be seen from all parts of
the city
Long rows Of benches were stretched
under the electric lights. and here the
young ladies served ice cream TO the
visitors. There were also other refresh
ments and delicacies that tempted the ap-
petites Of the large number who made up
the throng. The decorations were elabor-
ate, and were shown of TO great advan-
tage by the electrical display. An orches-

of the young ladies' branch OF the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
and was their annual party, the proceeds
of which are to defray the expenses con-
nected with running the three drinking
water fountains in Lynn, which were
first established under their direction.

Pinkham's home. When Mrs. Pinkham
was asked by the ladies II she would give
the use OF her lawn for the purpose. she
readily consented. She can always be
counted upon TO help along any good cause
in which women are interested.
There were many guests present from
the womans Christian Temperance
