first sight Of that variety OF Tie wrfgg-
ling tribe. It is not, however. the trorst
kind OF snake found in Iowa. "Pro-
ducts of the Farm" was the most poorly
represented class in the list. The only
articles eataIogued in this class. which
were noticeable to the casual observer
were a number of squirrel and gopher
tails; few pumpkins, squashes, onions,
potatoes and beets, and . very little
wheat and corn. These were outside
the hall on the north, and people gene
rally seemed to give them a careless
look; contemptuous sniff, and then
turn their backs As they sought some
more promising field for investigation.
Horses were in greater proportionate
numbers than animals or articles in any
other class. There were oS entries of
blooded horses; 20 OF draft and farm: and
% of matched and single carriage, buggy
and saddle horses; besides numerous en-
tries in the subdivisions Of the horse
class devoted especially to speed.
~ The number of Cattle was rather lini-
tied; but their quality both as regards
blood and condition would be hard to
excel anywhere. Among those who re-
ceived, premiums in this class were w.

The majority OF the races Were tame
and uninteresting because of the great
difference in speed of the contesting ami
mails; which, to make a good race, should
be evenly matched. Friday morning
double team trot, best three in five,
was Won by team belonging to Mai.
Baldwin of West Liberty. Best time,
81. Just after thi. race the celebrated
Kentucky stallion, shelby, was put up
on the track to ego against time.' 1t
was well so, for he certainly would new

lively. There We're four entries; but the |
contest for first best was between Red |
