tn rOwd in Attendance from 10000 TO
$4,000.

The entries up to this time more than
double those of previous years, while a
steady improvement isvisible in the quail
ity of articles exhibited. The wisdom of
the policy of the present management in
offering liberal cash premiums, especially
in the stock department, is apparent in
the presence of the fine blooded and grade
animals, whose numbers far exceed that of
any previous exhibition in East Tennes-
see. Small premiums are no inducements
to breeders of fine stock, especially at a dis
lance, TO bring their animals as has been
demonstrated in the past, and every own
er of this class of animals is doing the COM
munity a service by bringing them before
the public.
Last night twenty men were at work
building additional stables and pens for
stock, which have already been entered
and stock breeders from Virginia and Ken
lucky were expected to arrive last night
and swell the list still further.
