County Fair Proposed.

SOWosy I~sS
EDITOR FREE Press Now that
the political excitement OF the last
canvass is beginning to die out, 1t Is
not inappropriate, perpaps, to look out
tor something else that will rebound
more to the material interest OF our
county aud disturb the mOuotony usu.
al after d general election. 1t occurs
to us that preparations for a County
Fair should DO tho next thing in or
der. Your correspondent, therefore
moves, with the hopc that steps DO tn
ken at once for the organization OF a
Fair Association. SO that everything
necessary to make the undertaking a
success may be put in working order
for the coming year. Some time ago
au indirect proposition was made that
perhaps District Fair, supported by
Cald we'll, Hays and Guadalupe, in con-
junction, would meet with more sue
cess. This has failed, or rather never
been actively undertaken.
Caldwell county has its annual fairs,
why not Hays? We have the popula.
ton, the stock. the grounds, water, and
10 fact everything necessary except
the effort.
On last Saturday, the 9th inst, by
previous understanding with few Of
our stock men. the following exhibi-
ton was made on the plaza:
Caldwell's Bourbon Duke End g.

hogs we're deser vedly noticeable. He
has improved his stock from the best
thorough breds of Kentucky. We
did not get the pedigree of Foarqu.
reau's heifer, but she is beautiful
blood-red, and evidently good stock.
P. r. Turner exhibited two of the
best half. breed calves-have the ap-
pearance of full-bloods. His blooded
horse walked off. not with the ribbon
but with the compliments of the town,
and was the best horse shown. While
our friend Curran Kyle was found wan .
ing in most things, he has the finest
Jack in the State. Your correspond
ent has attended many of the State
Fairs in the United States and he is
free to say, that for the number ex.
hibited, he has never seen better stock
in any country than those above men
toned.
And it must be borne in mind that
this meeting was but partially attend
ed-not being generally known. Maj.
Nance has some good stock, T. A.
Gay, near Mountain City, has a mum.
Der of thorough. bred mares, and
stable of racers, with Incommode at
the head of the list. Rebel and Vic
tory, the celebrated racers of yore, are
in the stud. Many others could be
mentioned if time would permit. Hays
county having contributed to the turf

ers, why not be encouraged and stimu'
lated into an effort to keep up our good
name? All that is necessary is to or
ganize fair association and put the
ball in motion. and the coming season
will show that we are capable of ap-
preciating fine stock, and that we have
the pride to keep the organization
intact. Let US be up and doing, and
DO live energetic people. 7.
