The Kentucky State Fair opens

put forth by Secretary Dent and the

tractive exhibition in the history OF
the institution. 1t is conceded by all
tbat this State Fair will surpass in
magnitude and attractiveness any
other held in this section of country.

snecial features, but it is expected
that Irish-American night, set tor
next Wednesday, will be the biggest
event connected with the fair. Col
William ]. O'Hearn is Chairman.
Frank McGrath is Treasurer, and
lanes Greene. Councilman Thomas
Dolan and William M. Higgins are
the other members of the committee
In charge that night. Arrangements
have been made with Secretary Dent
for a special illumination with green
lights and fire, and Signor Liberatti's
band will rendeF selected pro-
gramme of Irish music. The COM
mittee has also larranged with the
fireworks people for large set piece,
similar to that of the lamented

Amusement will be furnished by the
Young people whose pictures are
partially given in this issue. The
other parts will appear in the daily
papers. All may be put together and
used for the purpose of identified
tion.
First. two of Louisville's most
beautiful girls have been selected
and two local young men, and it is
this quartette that local folks must
go on a still hunt for. Identification
Of any one of the four means money
to the finder, as there have been cer-
tain amounts of gold money offered
for the successful ones. Photographs
of the two young men and women
will be published in the local papers.
These will be for reference and aid
in identifying the mysterious four"
who have promised to be as elusive
as possible, although they are we'll
known in the city. On a certain day,
the date of which will be published
tomorrow, the four will pass out
Fourth street in automobiles between
the hours of 2 and 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. Another day the four will
visit certain department stores in
Fourth street and Market street, also
between 2 and A o'clock p. m.
Irish-American day at the State
Fair is Wednesday, September IL.
On printed programmes the different
points the mysterious four" will |
visit will be named. The gate they
will come in will be designated. The |
different exhibits, shows, stands or
booths they will visit and the time |
for each visit will be stated on the |
They will visit these |
various places until dark. In the |
evening on Irish-American day the
quartet will visit, either together, in |
pairs or singly, the fireworks exhibi-
tion or the live stock pavilion until |
10 o'clock, giving everyone a chance
to identify them.
For identifying any one Of the |
Mysterious -Four" any person will |
be given $40 in gold. For identifying |
any two, $40; for any three, $50, or |
for the whole four, $40. The same !
offer goes before the "big day. at |
the fair. II any or every one of the |
four are identified before Irish |
American day, the committee will |
give the same prizes. Thus, 1t is |
seen, $50 in gold is offered for acute |
observers or amateur detectives. |
They may be identified by the pic
lures to be published in the papers |
and the descriptions. There will be |
no names given. Chance is given
everyone to find and identify mem
bers of the quartet on the street, in |
certain designated stores or at the |
numerous places at the fair.
