FREE ADMISSION
NIGHT HORSE SHOW
POPULAR INNOVATION FOE
NINTH ANNUAL STATE FAIR.
"PLL BE THERE: WILL YOUW
Slogan For All kentuckians Is Adopt
ed BY Management-Perry' Vic
tory on Lake Erie.
"PLL BE THERE: WILL YOUY

Dozens, of new departments and at.
fractions which have been created by
the state fair board for the coming 9th
annual state fair do not by any means
constitute all of the inducements tC
which caps the climax for generosity
has been finally decided upon. That
is to admit the public to the big horse
show at night in the pavilion free OF
charge. To be exact, the only requi
site for admission to this show, one
which will include dozens of horses
which have carried off premiums In
the most exclusive shows in the coun
try, will be to buy a ticket for admis
sion at the gate. In the past an extra
admission fee of 25 cents has been
charged for the privilege of the horse
show held each night
The only exception to this rule will
be that a few seats will be roped off
and tickets tor these will be sold. But
those not wishing to pay an extra
quarter, even though the horse show
will be worth double that sum, may
see 1t in perfect comfort by occupying
free of charge any of the seats not
reserved to be sold.
For kentucky's Benefit.
AS result of this and other induce
ments, the greeting, 'I'll be there;
will your" is expected to be heard on
all hands prior to and during fair
week. BY the way, there is a good
deal Of real patriotism embodied in
this expression, "Ill be there; will
you?" when ii is heard in connection
with the big show which is being pre-.
pared for the people of Kentucky
This will not be a fair for the mate
rial benefit of one man or set OF men
Many business men are giving uI
their time, and going to much trou
BILE. without recompense of any char
acter, in order to make the fair sue
cess.
Tens of thousands of dollars will
be paid out to Kentuckians in premi
ans, the industries and resources OF
the state will be helped and the citi
zens given an opportunity to see an6
learn, at a cost of fifty cents each
more than could be seen or learned
lnder such circumstances anywhere
else in the country except at a similar
institution. Therefore, when a Ken.
tuckian along about the time state fair
week approaches is heard giving his
neighbor this greeting, he is intert ST
d in encouraging the exhibition OF
the products of his home state and he
is entitled to all credit.
The Kentucky State Fair is devel
cping each year more and more into
a place where friendships are renew,
ed, relatives are met, voters are cor
rallied and conventions of all charac
tiers held IN the past the convention
tent has been located at an out-of-the
way place hard to find and poorly 10
Gated. Secretary p. M. Shy has de
cided this year to locate it to the left |
as the visitor to the ground enters,
directly opposite the Model School
building. A commodious tent will be
provided and all arrangements nee.
essary to the holding of the different
gatherings made.
Bureau of information.
Still another innovation, and one
which most probably will appeal to
the public forcibly, will be a Bureau |
Ct Information located just at the |
point where the main road for pedes- |
trians branches off around the semi |
circular piece of lawns used as a rest |
ing place. Secretary Shy says that in |
this Bureau of Information he will |
have established a man who knows his |
business and who will freely give any |
information as to points around the |
fair grounds.
Perrys famous victory on Lake |
Erie, which soon is to be celebrated |
in an imposing manner by representa-
tives of several states, together with |
the national government, will be |
among the fire works features. Tkis
is feature not only apropos but one
which promises to be of thrilling in
