were no issues to be fought out or
conflicting candidacies to champion
the attendance was better than was

Monday evening from reviewing the

the rejection of the Colombian canal
treaty While he naturally was dis
appointed at the action of the con
gress he does not desire at this timo

When it was learned recently that
the Colombian congress intended to
amend the treaty it was understood
that an intimation was conveyed to
the Colombian government that such
amendments as were proposed would
be unsatisfactory to this government
The rejection of the treaty followed
It is quite certain that the action of
Colombia will induce some consulta
tions of importance in the near future
and possibly some action by congress
at the extraordinary session

FEATURES OF THE STATE FAIR
Cresceus Day Expected to be a Record
Breaker at the Show
The coming of Cresceus to the state
fair this year will be the event in the
attraction line and will make on the
day that he trots against his record
a day in attendance and interest and
enthusiasm equal to the J I C day
at the fair some fifteen years ago
Every big day at the fair each year
since the time that J I C trotted has
been compared with that date but
nothing has ever equalled the attend
ance on the day when that wdely ad
vertised horse trotted This year
the record of attendance of the J I C
day will be broken on the day that
Cresceus goes against his record He
is the fastest trotter in the world
holding the worlds record and to se-
cure him for a day at the Nebraska
state fair this year was getting an at-
traction that thousands and thousands
of people over the state will
ciate and approve by their attendance
Lovers of the races should remem
ber also that the state fair manage
ment this year has increased the
purses for running trotting and pac
ing to double the amount of a year
ago In other words this year 8000
is devoted to the speed ring besides
the additional thousand dollars it
takes to bring Cresceus here This
large amount of money hung up in
purses will bring the largest number
of good horses to the fair that ever
have been gathered at one time in
the history of the exposition It means
that every one of the five days com
mencing with Monday and ending
with Friday will have three strong
races and occasionally an extra race
thrown in for good measure There
will not be a day of the fair when the
speed ring will not be especially at
tractive and interesting
It was demonstrated a year ago by
the attendance at the races that the
people appreciated good horses and
that they were ready to patronize that
feature of the fair This year the
board of managers propose to give the
public who enjoy this feature the best
entertainment every day ever given in
the state and there need be no doubt
but that the attendance at the fair
this year will be the greatest m its
history
