Two things that are essential to the
success of an educational and amuse-
ment institution, according to J. w.
Newman, commissioner of agriculture.
and James l.. Dent, secretary Of the
Kentucky State Fair, are inducements
to draw exhibitors and attractions to
draw the public. With this idea in
view the officials have set out to make
1t profitable to both exhibitors and
patrons, and to that end nothing has
been left undone that might add to the
drawing features both from the stand
point of exhibitors and of the public
generally. Rich prizes have been Of
fered by the management to insure
the greatest display of exhibits ever
seen in any section of the south or
west-more than $4,000 to be dis
tributed to the successful exhibitors in
the various departments.
AS an evidence of their faith i'm the
people of Kentucky TO patronize an in
stitutiOn such as the State Fair has be-
come Commissioner Newman and Sec
rotary Dent have gone to great ex-
rense in securing the greatest line of
amusements ever provided for the peo-
pie of Kentucky or the south. Liberati
and his famous band, one of the great
est musical organizations in the coun-
try, composed Of forty-two musicians
and six soloists. have been secured at
big expense, and the music loving
public who attend the Fair this year
will have no complaint to register on
thls score. This noted organization
will be heard in concert each afternoon
and night in the big pavilion. For
those of the visitors who would rather
patronize the racing feature Of the
Fair than the horse show the manage
ment has secured another noted musi-
cal organization In the famous Day &
Scally Band of Louisville. which will
furnish the music at the race track on
the grounds each afternoon during the
week.
FoI the free attractions for each aft
ernoon and evening the management
has provided some of the most sensa-
tional acts ever presented to the public.
Who in this section of the country has
ever witnessed automobiles passing
through the air at height of sixty
five feet? For the first time in the
south or middle west and one of the
few times in this country such an ex-
hibition will be witnessed at the State
Fair this year. when, every afternoon
at . O'clocn and each night at $50
o'clock, two 1.200 pound machines will
loop the loop from tower at a height
of sixty-6ve feet. This is regarded as
the most sensational act ever contriv-
ed by the human mind. and just as
often as it is attempted just so often
dc the exhibitors daily with death in
nidair.
At no time during the entire day will
there be Il dull minute for visitors, 1t
being the aim of the management to
provide such a line of attractions in
addition to the regular exhibits that
visitors for one day only can leave for
their homes the same night expressing
the belief that they have been we'll re-
