Notes of the Event Which is to
Take Place Sept. 13, II, Is, Is.

To see the activity now being dis
played by the Fair officers, one would
not think the Fair still three weeks
away. But it has been their aim all
along to push the preparations and have
everything in readiness the open date.
One Of the most notable improvements
is in Floral Hall, where the entire in
terror arrangement has been changed
greatly increasing the room for display
as well as affOrding exhibitors absolute
protection from theft. This work has
been done under the personal super
vision Of Chas. E. Shriner, which in
itself is sufficient guarantee Of it's neat
ness and tasty arrangement.
The water main is now being ex
tended and fire protection being in
stalled in the amphitheatre, safe
gaurd that all will appreciate. Four
bubbling drinking fountains have been
placed at convenient places for the
comfort of exhibitors and visitors. The
roofs Of all the buildings have had a
thorough overhauling and all the stalls
have been re- rooted point worthy of
note by intending exhibitors. The
grounds have been moved, buildings
repaired, and everything now presents
al inviting appearance. Even the
weatherman has been with us, and the
grass now resembles a green velvet
carpet.
The Wortham & Allen Carnival Co.,
which will be the chief Midway at
traction, played to capacity houses all
last week at 39th and Wentworth Ave-,
Chicago, and those who saw it pro-
nounce it second to none.
F. B. Luchsinger, Supt. of Speed, has
an average of more than fourteen en-
tries in each of the three $500 stakes,
entries in which have already closed.
Your attention is particularly called
to the $1,000 Free For All, the largest
money ever offered in Wisconsin over a
half mile track, which will no doubt
prove the fastest race of the meet.
The above, in addition to the six
$4OO purses and a $500 colt race the
entries for which do not close until
Sept. s. makes the strongest program
ever offered at a half mile track in the
state, and as our track holds the state
record Of any age and the Worlds
record for four year olds, race lovers
may expect to see sensational racing.
Three of the very best races will be
put on Thursday. While it is impos-
sible to tell which race will be the
best, enough entries have already been
secured to warrant our making the
prediction that the racing this year
will be even better than last year,
when we led the state of Wisconsin in
number of entries and good racing.
Remember it's the Fair of the
Hour and Yours for a Good Time"

1inaig tei ONE charle ION new ~

reference to an extra session Of the
legislature and It seems that the
dope writer's have handed out lot
OF stun as more than semi-oRelal,
when # fact there was scarcely any
ground for such at all. The follow
ing taken from the Charleston Nail
tells the story:
While 1t is pretty well understood
there will be an extra session of the
legislature, no one has ever been au-
thorized blythe governor to say when
that session will be held.
The executive, before leaving for
the South some weeks ago, indicated
that some time within this month a
call would be made for the purpose
OF having the lawmakers consider
the primary election law. but since
that time he has had nothing to say
on the subject and today again de-
clined to discuss the situation in any
way whatever. He greeted the news
paper men with the usual and char
acterlstic smile and said that none
OF the articles which have neen pub
lished during the last few days about
his trip to Wheeling had been sent
out with authority. HE said that
nearly everything said had been
purely surmised, but that as no one
has been especially injured by their
publication he did not care to enter
into any denial. In fact, he posi-
lively declined to talk on the subject
other than to say that the reports in
the main were erroneous and the
product Of Imagination rather than.
