serious form of entertainment comes first es pecially in connection with an educa llonal institution such as the Ken tucky State Fair is proving to be the demand always is great for something in a lighter vein which will help drive dull care away and furnish a kind of mental dessert for the feast of good things which the new premium lit disclosesIt the recognition of this element In human

Midway became a reality and at the latter that tune Pass was introduced Both struck theJstate are not red complete without some such fea tune Both Novel and Clean But together with the adoption of the Pass feature has come the recot tuition of the further fact that the gen oralI public will not long approve it unless it Is encompassed by moral surroundings and not prove offensive to the crowds which attend The con tracts made for the myriad Pass fea lures for the coming fair Included stipulations to the effect that the shows must be clean while retaining the virtue of being novel This con ditlon will be complied with Not tnly will the shows be novel but they will be new The old time much worked over exhibitions will not be countenanced On the Pass as well as everywhere else the public will be moneyiaworth and failure on the part of showmen to do this will meet with instant rebuke 1As an adjunct to the Pass features 1III be the numerous free acts all thrilling and exciting Caterers

we say the Fair wilts all that could reasonably have been expected and more It wasI a success in every respect and exactly as advertised with the single exception of the living machine We hove seen the written contract the Ftiir Association had with the aeronaut and it required C successful flights or no pity The officers of the Association were1 disstlOinted than else could have IIStunable to comply with his contract as their chief aim has been at all time to dual frankly and fairly with the public We congratulate them upon their splendid showing and while they say it will be even bigger and better next year to make their assertion good they will certainly have to go some Last week we suggested that the city provide a free hitching place for the use of the country people who patronize our merchants and to whom we are indebted in a li rge measure for the present prosperous condition of our city Every time one comes to the city for a few minutes he should not be required to pay a livery bill but should be provided with a free hitching place if he desires to avail himself of its use Many of our readers in conversation with the writer have endorsed our suggestion and we hope this matter will be taken up iu the very near future Ilwl1 favorably acted upon Since the additional cot pwill be fcliyht we hope the property owners in the brick street district will at once concrete

Organization Indicates Importance of the Big Exposition Week of Augqst 7th to 12th United States Marine Band from Photograph Taken In Front of the White House Washington D C The most remarkable opportunity that has ever been offered the peopleI of Kentucky In a musical way will be the appearance of the famous United States Marine Band which comes from Washington City to play at the Blue Grass Fair at Lexington through out the week of August 7th to 12th Conceded by competent Judges everywhere to be thebest organization of its Ikind In the world the fame of j j the Marino Bandi has extended to ev cry section of the country It may be truthfully stated that In very large degjieo It was this band which made John Phillip Sousa the noted band master famous Under his direction the Marine Band attained a degree ofIii eminence that brought it into interna i tlonal prominence and during the term i of Its present leader Lieut AVilllam A Santelmann it has fully maintained the standards then set The mere statement that the Marine Band is coming to the Blue Grass Fall carries with It a tremendous testi monial of the Importance of the big exposftioft which will hold forth at Lexington during the second week in August Never before has this noted organization appeared on the grounds of any fair state district or county Indeed only in Instances of the largest expositions such as the Worlds Fairs at Chicago and St Louis has it been i allowed to lepve Washington Its com ing to Lexington Is the result of three years work on the part of the man agement of the Blue Grass fair Efforts have been made continuously for each of the past three years to secure this great organization but without success until the present sea son And in this instance the result leas been achieved only through tho i powerful Influence of Hon Chafhp Clark speaker of the house of representatives who through personal ef fort secured the consent of the Presj SPEED PROGRAM RUNNING RACES WILL BE GIVPN ON EACH OF THE SIX DAYS OF BLUE GRASS FAIR Each Day Will Witness a Cup Ract Open to All Members of the Gen tlemens Driving Club of Lexington An excellent speed program lias been arranged for the nine Grass fair which will be held at Lexington the week of August 7th to 12th On each of tho six days will be given running races and on Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and Friday there will bo races for light harness horses as well On each of these days will be witnessed a cup race open toSuem hers of the Gentlemens Driving club of Lexington and one of the several races for which monetary prizes are offeredThe 216 trot is scheduled for the afternoon of Monday August 7th the two year old trot for Tuesday after noon the 2W pace for Wednesday Hie threeyearold trot for Thursday and the 222 trot for Friday In both the 210 trot and the twoyearold trot at the Blue Grass fair last year new records for the season were set There Is every reason to believe that these events will be equally Interest ing in the contests which they offer this year and will probably bring to gether n larger number of horses The most attractive feature In the matter of running races will bo a special race for gentlemen riders which has been gotten up at the request of members of the Lexington Polo club In this club are being developed a number of expert horsemen and the Gentlemens Cup race will bring to gether eight or tot of these mounted on some of the best thoroughbreds to be found in Central Kentucky This race will be put on Monday afternoon the opening day of the fair and is coy tain to prove one of the most attrac tive features witnessed during the week 1 dent of the United States and of the secretary of the navy to allow th band to make the trip Each of th men composing the organization Is en titled to a furlough for a brief period every year By granting all of the fir loughs tor the week of August 7th t 12th the navy department made po siblo the engagement of the band b the Blue Grass fair without violating Its own rule- Throughout the summer months tin Marine Baud gives a concert on the lawn in front of the White House a Washington each Saturday afternoon After the regular concert on the after noon of August nth it will take a ape clal train to Lexington arriving ove the C C 0 railroad on Sunday Au gust 6th Sunday evening a specia sacred concert will be given at tit Blue Grass fair grounds and each aft e noon and evening throughout the week of the fair this splendid bath will furnish the music The opportunity that will thus be af forded the people of Central Kentuck Is absolutely unprecedented Any lover of music would gladly pay from 100 to 150 to hear such an organs zatlon as the Marine Band but at tine slue Grass fair prolonged concerts by this band will bo hoard and Innumera hie features of tlu greatest Interest will in addition bo offered all for the admission fee of fifty cents It therefore seems reasonable to suppose that on the strength of this one feature the mannge lent of the fait may matter pate recordbreaking crowds At each concert not only will an ex cellent program of instrumental music be given but there will also be varied vocal selections The Marine Band has its own chorus of splendid male voleus and the programs will bo so ar ranged as to give the audiences the full benefit of the training and the melody of these voices = o THE POULTRY SHOW The poultry show at the Blue Grass fair the week of August 7th to 12th 1s going to IMS a foature of outstand ing importance A classification em bodying prizes for 2CS
