Mr.. 3. B. Wilson, local manager OF

gone a week. Before he left he stated
10 the Eagle that he was in favor Of
all the jobers of this city sending out

also sending out personal letters to each
of their customers. inviting them to
come TO this city and partske of feast
to be prepared by the company, and
also show the people of the towns triou-
tarv to Wichita what a fine town it is
and what it can do in the way of hav-
ing fairs and carnivals. He suggested
that each Of the houses OF the different
lines represented have a separate day
for their banquet and thus would be
furnished entertainment for all who
&C me and also have something going
on each day.
The committee having in charge the
solicltirs Of funds for rhe fait have lnet
with fir sccces- md me o1t''k s
bright for one of the best expositions
ever held in the west. The amount Of
money raised is larger than ever before
and the merchants are taking greater in
terest, and this insures success.
The plans for the entertainment Of the
visitors each day become more mature
and if the merchants support the project
as they have shown a disposition TO do
It viii mean the most novel and enter
tanning exposition ever held, not only
state.
The sports will be of an especially en-
tertaining nature, everything being orig
inal and something that has never be-
fore been seen in this part of the country
and something that will be typical OF
western life. more as it was twenty
years ago than at the present time.
For the roping and riding contests the
widest of animals will be secured. The
committee on this sport has received
notice that Miss Bessie Alulhall.

how to rope a wild, long-horned Texas
steer. The prizes to be offered for this

sale and signifying their intention or
bringing consignment of stock to be
exhibited and sold. Wichita last winte
proved herself good place in which t.

and those who were here have spread
this fame far and wide and every west
ern breeder is interested in the exposition

any held in the west in recent years.
