Two things that are essential to the
success Of an educational and amuse
ment institution, according to ]. 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
it 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.

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-
pense in securing the greatest line of
amusements ever provided for the peo-
pie Of Kentucky or the south. Liberati

est musical OrganiZa tons 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
this score. This noted organization
will be heard in concert each afternoon
