Tuesday will be a banner day at
the Kansas Free Fair.
It is dedicated especially to the
children and an elaborate program
will be conducted for their benefit
in "Children's corner" near Agricul-
tural hall.
But the grown-ups, too, will find the
day crammed full of events that will
be of great interest
Horse Races a Feature.
The horse, races. will, of course, be
the features of the day. The races
which were to have been run today
will be run tomorrow. The Kansas
Derby, the event s. dear to Kansas
race fans, which it was necessary to
postpone today on account of the rain,
will be run tomorrow. The postpone
ment of today's races will assure a big
ger program tomorrow afternoon. 1t
will be necessary now to revise the
racing schedule to conform to the
rules of the game and until this Is
done it is not possible to announce all
the race events that will be held. But
race fans can be sure of a much big
ger program than was regularly sched-
uled, which will i--clude the Kansas
Derby, at least one of the four 81, 900
stake races and several others for
smaller purses. A large number of
entries assures one of the biggest and
fastest fields of starters ever seen in
Topeka. The track is now being
worked and should be in good shape
tomorrow, even tho more rain fall to-
day.
Aerial Circus Tuesday.
Mark CampbelTs aerial circus also
will be held Tuesday. Flying a mile
high and at the rate of ninety miles
an hour, the daredevil aviator walks
out on the wings of his machine,
hangs by his heels from the landing
gear. sits astride the hood and per-
forms various other seemingly impos-
sible feats. AS a grand climax he
makes a parachute drop In front of
the grandstand. At this time his
machine is only about 400 feet from
the ground, so the spectators can see
every detail Of the operation. This is
very dangerous feat and Campbell is
now walking with a cane as the result
of his last drop from the speeding ma
chine.
The night show. of course, will be
the big event of the evening.
In the morning Free Fair visitors
will derive amusement from the Kan
sas horseshoe pitchers contest, which
will begin in the horseshoe courts at
the east edge of the Free Fair grounds
at 10 o'clock and continue until fin
ished.

club demonstrations and exhibits of
