grounds distant from the Pike,
was declared by many of the
party to be the best show on the
grounds. The opening perform
ance was given while we were
at the Fair and many of the
party attended.
One of the most attractive and
engrossing features of the entire
exposition is the Philippine Sec
ton of the Exposition grounds,
known as the Government In
sular Exhibit. This wonderful
Philippine exhibit of peoples
and products of the far off South
Sea Islands has attracted much
attention. Not less than HOO
natives, representing all types of
Filipinos from the savage aborig-
ines to the civilized Visayans
and Tagalogs, are shown in their
native state and habitat. All
this is engrossingly interesting.
Next to the FIlipinos perhaps
the japanese receive the most
thought and the greatest num-
Der of visits from Americans at
the Fair. Wherever there is a
Japanese exhibit, show, shop or
village, there is congregated a
company of intelligent and ap-
preciative Americans and the
sympathy of either race with
the other, manifested in various
ways, is always noticeable.
Kentucky Day was of course the
"banner" day with the press party
as well as with Gov. Beckham, as
the representative of the Common
wealth. 1t was the day of days with
thepress because the press had made
it possible for Kentucky Day at the
Fair to be celebrated. Through the
efforts of the press and the publicity
freely given the movement of the
Kentucky Exhibit Society, itself
headed by prominent and influential
members of the newspaper frater-
nifty, sentiment had been created
and Kentucky had been given a
place with other progressive States.

STRUCK PETROLEUM.
While Boring for Coal, Walter Thompson
Finds the Oil.

Walter Thompson is in big
luck. that is if his new oil well
should prove to be a ''gusher. .
While prospecting for coal five
miles north of jacksonville last
Friday, near the l.. & N. rail-
road, he struck vein of petro-
leum. The shaft had only been
bored to a depth of go feet when
the oil began to pour out. The
flow is said to be pretty strong,
and is pronounced by Mr.. Doud-
ma, an oil expert from Ohio, to
be the best quality of petroleum
ever seen in this part of the
country.
Mr.. Thompson will continue TO
sink the well deeper, and hopes
to strike the oil in paying guam
titles. The finding of the oil
has created considerable excite
ment among those interested in
that section. Hustler.

The party was together as much
as could perhaps have been expected
at such show place, against which
no convention or association has
been proof. That we could not have
been more closely associated during
the week was cause for regret. how

party took its reward in the con-
seriousness of patriotic duty well and
freely performed. But the Kentuc-
ky Day program was very pleasant
and the cOurtesies extended by the
Kentucky Commission very consid-
crate and enjoyable. President A.
Y. Ford and Secretary r. E. Hughes,
of the Commission, were alert and
unsparing in their efforts to care for
the press, even while they were en-
crossed in the ceremonies of looking
after the Governor and party and
the officers and men from the bat
tleship Kentucky. The luncheon
given the Kentucky Press Associa-
ton, and the other guests mention
ed, at Mrs. Rorer's restaurant on
Kentucky Day was as delightful
and satisfying as that good woman's
fame in cookery would Justify. And
Mrs. ROrer was there herself in per-
sonal charge. The evening recep-
ton tested the capacity of Kentuc-
ky hospitality but everything went
off as smoothly as if there had been
but a corporal's guard to entertain
and serve with delightful refresh
ments. All Kentuckians and every
body else were at home. The grac-
ious hostess, Mrs. Smith, and the
commissioners and their ladies con-
trlbuted to make the evening a pres
ent satisfaction and a beautiful
memory.
On Thursday evening the Ken
lucky Society of st. Louis gave
reception at the Kentucky Building
to the Kentucky Commissioners and
the Kentucky Press, besides a few
other guests. This reception was
also by card but the cards were
much more limited than they had
been at the reception of the evening
before. The Kentucky Society is
of many of the most
prominent and progressive people of
the city of ST. Louis. 1t was an
honor and pleasure to be their
guests.
Kentucky Day exercises included
the presentation OF the "homeward-
bound' colors from the battleshlp
Kentucky by committee of the
ships crew to the State m the per-
son of it's chief executive. Speeches
were made by David r. Francis,
President of the Exposition, Gov.
