STATE FAIR TO-DAY.
Notes of Preparation at the Park
and in the Hall.
Entries, Races, Etc, To day.

|
as possible yesterday, both at the Park and in
the Hall, preparing for the exhibition, which
| they are confident will surpass any state exhi-
bition ever before attempted by them. The
marshall, Mr.. B. f. Hamilton, will have Mr..
r. M. Stevens as aide. AT the Park the horses
and cattle arrived in large numbers, filling
about every stall. They will be in readiness to
exhibit today. The exhibition of stock in the
ring and on the track will take place precisely
at the time specified and exhibitors should
have their stock prepared before that time as
at the discretion Of the judges they may be
ruled out of competition. The races will be
better than usual as there are large number
of the best horses in the state entered and
most, if not all, will be started. The first race
will be for three minute horses; the second for
2.35 stations; the third for three year old colts.
The second one will probably be the race of
the dag, all the horses to trot merely for repu-
tation, and large number of we'll known and
fast stations are to contest. A list of the hors-
es in the three races will be found in the ad-
vertisement en- the first page of to-day's paper
The race for colts will be interesting as there
are several promising steppers advertised to
appear.
Mr.. John S. Head will start the horses ard
he will associate with him two gentlemen
equally as well fitted for judges.
The dairymen's products arrived largely and
an excellent exhibition is promised. The City
Hall resounded all day with the noise of ham,
mers, lumber and the men who used both.

articles. In the right hand gallery are the
productions of the State Agricultural College,
under the charge of one of the students, while
the sides of all the galleries are decorated with
lap robes and horse blankets. The corridor will
shine with stoves. The walls of the art gallery
are covered with specimens, while besides pict-
