necessary to break open the doors
in front so as to furnish q means
Of escape. That was the only
thing that saved the people in
front from being crushed by the
crowd. 1t was found to be i'm.
possible to restrain the people suf-

the committee and the mothers
with their babies.

-9S FRIDAY's PROCEEDINGS. (.
AT $50 q. N. the ring was cleared
for the exhibition of grades and
crosses. Upon an examination of
the stock, the committee decided to.
let them stand awhile so that the
people could have ample opportu-
nifty for seeing them, as in the judg-
ment of the committee they were too
good to pass by.riEstsss 's.gs sE.r
N. L Pritchard of Greenwood,
had some cows, heifers and CALVES
that were conceded on all hands to
be very fine, but as he could not
produce the pedigree of some of
them they were ruled out
of the ring for thoroughbreds.
Oscar Lambert of Americas, had

times and lost the purse, which was
taken by "Lady Patchen."
