E. G. Bylander, Confers With E. A. Trowbridge About Horse Exhibits.
E. G. Bylander, secretary of the Missouri State Fair, was in Columbia today making arrangements with Prof. E. A. Trowbridge of the College of Agriculture of the University for the show horse exhibits at the fair in Sedalia in August.
Professor Trowbridge has been in charge of this department for several years.
Night attractions will be featured at the 1918 fair, according to Mr. Bylander, since the last General Assembly gave a large appropriation-the first in the history of the fair-for this purpose. There will be six night performances this year.
The horse shows will be held in front of the grandstand this year instead of in the live stock pavilion as in former years.
There will be pyrotechnic displays of the world at war, grand opera singers and orchestra numbers between acts of the horse shows.
Monday of the fair will be Governor's Day.
Governor Frederick D. Gardner has accepted an invitation to speak. Other attractions on this day will be an airplane-automobile race with Louis Disbrow driving the racing car.
