next week and continuing on through
Saturday. have been perfected. And
the indications are that with favorable
weather conditions. which are more
than likely 10 prevail, it Will prove to
be the largest and most successful
trotting. pacing and running race
meet that has ever been held in
Kansas.
For the sixteen races which have
been carded, two hundred and thirty
five entries have been made. OF course
some few horses have been entered in
more than one race but their number
is not large and the people of this
city and its vicinity will have the OPP
portunity of seeing about two hundred
horses fight for victory in the various
races and these horses comprise the
cream OF the harness racers campaign
ing throughout the west. Their own
ers have been attracted to the meet
by the value of the stakes and the
purses which have been offered.
But while the races will be the
paramount features of the week at the
fair grounds, they will not by any
means be all that there is to see. The
Patterson Brainerd Carnival company,
styled 1.-THE Assassins of Sorrow" will
be there with fifteen tented shows and
many free attractions. This company
has two hundred and twenty-five peo-
pie in its employ and has the reputa-
ton Of being far and away the best
carnival pany in the country. Then
there will be a number of special fea-
lures incident to the races, not the
least unusual Of which will be the ap-
pearance of the famous trotting os--
trich, Black Diamond. This bird will
trot half mile races on Thursday and
Friday with one of the fastest horses
on the grounds whose name for the
time being Is held in the dark. And
on farmers day, Wednesday, there will
be a contest in the quick hitching Of
a horse to a buggy. for which there are
already nine entries and a twenty-five
dollar prize will go to the winner.
Arrangements had been made by r.
T. Kreipe, secretary of the exposition
com pany, to have c. L. Edwards ex-
hibit that wonderfully educated horse
Bonner but yesterday afternoon Mr.
Kreipe received a telegram from Mr..
Edwards from Fort Smith, Ark, read
