In many respects county tn3ss arc alike, and

Fair We shall be presenting general one.
on entering the grounds yon find cattle
| md horses stalls leading of to the right and
left for long distance. These are we'll made
and reflect great credit upon ahe company
owning the grounds, hut Unfortunately Their

rubbish in the rear Aanxea rs they are will
wagon boxes and feed, labyrinth through
| which no lady ever takes her way 10 visit the

visitors venture on the same road. THIS part

I without any offensive surrounding.
The entrance is through dense grove in

t,een, hence teams must BE- hitched outside
and families SO to the waeons to get their

have no taste for fast horses and fat cattle are
found about the gambling stands, Whcra cheap

leave similnr Practices out Of their list OF at-
tIacuons.
