FREE ADMISSION
. NIGHT HORSE SHOW
POPULAR INNOVATION FOR
NINTH ANNUAL STATE FAIR.
"pll Be THERE; WILL Y0UT
ed BY .Manasement-Perry's Vic
tory on Lake Erie.
I'LL Be THERE; WILL YOU2"

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 to
the public to attend, as a proposition
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 ticket for admis-
sion at the gate. In the past an extra
admissf1~ fee of rs cents has been
charged for the privilege OF the horse
she wv held each night.
The only exception to this rule will
be that few seats will be roped of
and tickets for these will be sold. But
tho se not wishing to pay an extra
Arter, even though the horse show
WI be worth double that sum, may;
see 1t ip perfect comfort by occupying
free p%charge any of the seats not
reserved to be sold.
For kentucky's Benefit.
AS a result of this and other induce
ments, the greeting, 'Tll be there;
will your" is expected to be heard on
AL 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
your" when it 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 up
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.
ums, the industries and resources of
the state will be helped and the citi.
gems given an opportunity to see and
learn, at a cost of fifty cents each,
more than could be seen or learned
under such circumstances anywhere
else In the country except at similar
institution. Therefore, when a Ken
tuckian along about the time state fair
week approaches is heard giving his
neighbor this greeting, he is interest
ed In encouraging the exhibition of
the products of his home state and he
is entitled to all credit.
The Kentucky State Fair is devel-
oping 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 To-
Gated. Secretary p NJ. Shy has de-
cided this year to locate 1t 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 enc
which, most probably Will appeal to
tbD.1lic forcibly, wiz be a Bureau
of Information located just at the
point where the main road for pedes-
TRANS branches off around the semi
circular piece of lawns used as a rest
ing place. Secretary Shy says that In
this Buraau OF Information he VIII
have estanl3Ss man who knows his
business egN who VIII freely give any
informaiJon as TO points around the
fair grounds
Pefry's famous victory on Lake
Eie. which soon is TO be celebrated
IN an imposing manner by representa-
tives OF several states, together with
the national government VIII be
among the Rre works features. This
Is a feature not only apropos but one
which promises TO Be OF thrilling In
terest 1870.
