FAST HORSES FEATURE BIG FAIRNEXT WEEK

More Speedy light Harness Horses Here Than In Many Years Past

With but a week before the opening of the 1914 Vigo county fair, officials of the Terre Haute Trotting and Fair association, under whose auspices this year's fair Is being given, are putting on the finishing touches to make this year's event the biggest end best ever held in Vigo county. From the present appearance of things they will succeed. Already they are assured of more and faster horses than have been seen on the local track for some years and that the time will be faster tian before is almost certain.

The track has been put in the best shape possible and every day sees more improvements being made on the ova!. The Terre Haute track has long been considered the best half iinile track in the country and race horse owners will not be able to change their opinions on this score, according to the fair promoters.

A contract has been closed with the Aiken Carnival company, which will show at the fairgrounds during the entire four days of the fair. This will be a great treat to the old as well as the young, although the kiddies are more likely to derive pleasure from thl# particular event than thegrownups. The Aiken company is this week showing at Brazil under the auspices of the Eagles' lodge of that city, and M^ports are,, exceptionally favorable as torhe merits of the company.

BesttTes this carnival compan) several free attractions have been arranged for and the usual run of lemonade, cracker-jack and peanut stands •will be on the grounds. A far better showing of poultry, live stock and farm products than ever before witnessed here, is assured, and entries are coming in every day until it is doubtful if the fair officials will have enough room to accommodate all. The merchants of the city have entered into the spirit of things, and several fine exhibits of down town stores will be Seen.
