For many years the Kankakee show was held annually in September but last year the management after careful investigation and inquiry among exhibitors and patrons sensed a demand for an earlier date and the Mir was held in August This arrangement met with such wide approval that there was no hesitation in adopting the eariy date again this year. The Kankakee Inter-State Fair has for many year* been one of the most popular as one of the largest shows of its kind in the country. Leading oft as it does this year as the forerunner of a series of great state and district fairs throughout the Middle West, the announcement of the date will be received with interest by exhibitors in all classes in man/ parts of the country. Fine stock ip sent to the Kankakee show each year from distant parts of the United States and Canada and from there to the Illinois State Fair and other great expositions in the Central states during August and September. Many Departments Increased.' The Management of The Kankakee Inter-State Fair has announced a large number of definite improvements in many of its departments as well as substantial increases in premiums and awards in many classes. Increased premiums are being offered in the show horse classes, as well as the different classes of cattle, swine, sheep and poultry. The Society Horse Show which has proved to be so popular for many years will be held every night during the five days of the fair and the increased premiums bid fair to attract entries which will make that part of the exposition the most brilliant that has ever been seen in this part of the country. Spectacular Attractions. One of "the features which has helped more perhaps than anything else to make the Kankakee Fair one noted from one part of the country to the other has been the size and character of its spectacular entertainment, which has been offered free each afternoon and evening to visitors at the grounds. Combining thirty circus and vaudeville thrillers with races and aerial exhibitions, the spectacle is one that no other fair in the country claims to duplicate in the way of entertainment. This part of the fair is made better each year and the promise of the management of a still better show this year will no doubt maintain the fair's boast of the "World's Greatest Out-door Entertainment." There will be a magnificent display of fireworks on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings of the fair this year. The fireworks of last year were pronounced by many as the finest ever seen in this section of the country. Five Feature Days. Bach day of fair week will have its special features, although the program in' full at the grandstand will be rendered each afternoon and evening. Monday, August 15, will be Old Settlers' Day, Children's Day and Veterans' Day. Men and women , who have lived in Kankakee or adjoining counties continuously since 1865 will be admitted free as "Old Settlers" and children under the age of fifteen will be admitted free. Veterans of all the wars in which Uncle Sam has engaged will also be entertained by the fair association on Monday without charge. Tuesday, August 16, will be "Illinois Day," when Governor Small, who is secretary of the Kankakee Inter- State Fair, will entertain men and women of note from every county in the state. Several thousand men and women prominent in public life of Illinois are expected on that date. Wednesday, August 17, Kankakee Day--the day all Kankakee business Is suspended for the fair--has also been named "Indiana Day" in honor of the "Hoosiers" who have always been great patrons of the Kunkakee show. Thousands of Indiana people are expected during the week and especially on Wednesday which has for many years been a favorite day with the people of the neighboring state. Thursday is known as "Livestock Day" because of the parade of the prize-winning livestock which is held la the afternoon. This event has come to be known as the "Million Dollar Livestock Parade." Stockmen see in this pageant the finest livestock of the country. Friday, the closing day of the fair, is called "Homecoming Day," when former residents gather from all parts of the country, when it is possible to meet old friends and witness again tbeir favorite show. A full-sized program both day and night will be held and the fair will come to a elbse with brilliant fireworks and a sparkling horse show.
