all soon withdrawn from the track and
the interest of the day began to wane.
But little fine stock other than horses
is yet to be seen. The greatest attrac-
tion in this department aside from the
horses, at this time is lot of fine inn
ported Cotswold sheep on exhibition
by II. L Rudd of this county. He
has four bucks; two pure bloods inn
ported from Canada and a pair of twin
lambs five months old which are cer-
tainly without an equal in size and
beauty in the State.
Mr.. Tolton. of Canada, has also a lot
of pure blood Cotswolds which are
generally admired. As usual to-mors
row is looked forward to as promising
better things.
