When Ruth Law swooped down on
 terday afternoon and ran her biplane
 within three feet of the ground right
 down the track in front of the grand
 stond, there was tense moment ex- lperienced by those in the grandstand,
 who held their breath and waited to
 see how many posts she would tear
 down, or how far she would fall. But
 than Miss Laws smile. It beamed upon
 the grandstand occupants as she
 whisked by.
 And now she makes the announce ment that she will race any one who
 wants to race with her around the
 race track. she in her biplane. while the other person races in an automo- bile. T don't care who he is I will
 race him, and I will stay as close to the ground as he wants me to, but they generally want me some distance away" says Miss Law.
 This is going to be one of the most interesting features of the fair, and it is announced that Miss Law will ra ce MT. Katz on Friday afternoon at the fairgrounds. Details of the race will be made public tomorrow Miss Laws daily programme of two flights added to the horse races and the motorcvele races daily is a great drawing card for the fair. The free attractions are exceptionally good throughout.

Then there is every kind of a show worth your while in the amuse- ment programme offered by the Johnny J. Jones Carnival company. This aggre- gation of novelty, freak animal educa- tional and amusing acts is a star out fit and they are pleasing the thousands that see the fair every day
