AN Agricultural! Fair and cattle show

in order to be what it proposes oy KS
title TO be, should be SO managed as nor
to degenerate into II mere Jockey Club
meeting. The trouble with tbs Heto
Fair is that its managers have gwen
their first attention to the week 5 racing.
New to do what they are deing ia simply
10 attempt to compete with Sacramento.
This, here. il hopeless. Moreover 1t Is
absurd and away FROM what should te
the purpose and intent Of tn AssIcn''
.ural Society. The theory OF horse rae
ing at fairs is the showing If the best
breeds ana strains Of horses. The actual
fac; is that tho Whole business is In the
hands Of Jockeys and jockey clubs. In
stead OF competition between farmers
and stock raisers, it is n game u! sharp
dealing among professional turtles
Now it seems to us that it would be the
part Of wisdom to make the programme
of Fair week such that there should be
no professional raciEs-at any rate hoi
m ,re than day or two Ct such sport
Ii seems nearer to eervi,'., the purpose
ard living up to the pTofessed aims CT
an agricultural fair. il the rule were
adopted that no regular race horse
should be allowed to compete for CERTAIN
urIzas. In other words. native colts.
driven and grOomed and hidden Nv
farmers and amateurs. these. under Jusi
and equitable rules, should have show
ing among themselves AMI against one
another ii any kind Of trials Of speed
would encourage the breeding OF the
better breeds Of horses this way ct con
Quoting them would promote that de-
aired end At old fashioned cattle
shows in the older States thsre used to
be sn abundance Of attractions
other than horse racing. There
were trials of strength between
stalliouS; male teams were riitrt against
one another; there were piewlng matches:
and stout oxen made showing OF 'h.r
capaci'y as draft animals: then there
were amateur cares Of all sorts, ana
world Of nmu>e,nepts TO keep up .i' ~
terest in the. fair. Now II seems to rs
that u plan which should embrace some
of these notions hi ht we'll be cons!d
cred by our Agricultural! Society. We
are III: opposed to horse racing. tn
the contrary, we believe in i! and hike It:
out horse racing is one thing and II We!
conducted fair Is another. aui the d!s-
iiuctiuu shonii never be furs often.

two handsome tamarac poles cut on The

This banner, purchased as We under

appropriate that it should be stretched IN
front Of the Theater, for it Is there that
the meetings of the larger Hayes and
Wheeler Club are held.
TEE City Fathers of Virginia have
passed an ordinance prohibiting the
business of the Chinese opium smokers.
The patrons of those dens are so numer-
