ROCHESTER,, Mimi, Aug. 6, 1881.
Madame Belle Marie, Chester, Mimi:
Learning that you were visiting at

Mr.. Barker received a letter from
Madame Belle Marie on Monday, accept
ing the challenge and on Tuesday he Wis
tied the lady and arranged details of the
race, which will be announced hereafter.
The GLOBE interviewed Mr.. B. on his re-
turn and found him quite sanguine of
success. Although he says Madame
Marie is no novice in the art of riding,
being at home on the horse and able to
manage the horse. Both ladies will COM
mence fitting themselves at once for their
hard race. Mr. B. leaves for Iowa to Sc
cure some thoroughbred horses for the
race. The many Thousands of people at
tending the State Fair will have an OPP
portunity of witnessing hard fought
race. This city has got down to work
and are going to rush the buildings for
ward to completion, as some of the stock
will arrive the week before the fair, they
propose to have everything ready In
time. Secretary Judson informs us that
the large exhibit from Wisconsin will
start on Thursday for the fair and reach
here on Friday. This exhibit is on
large scale and it will take a
full train of cars to trans
port them, and are drafts from the
well known studs, herds and flocks of the
well known importers and breeders of
Wisconsin. Of the exhibitors are Robt.
Oglevie, Dexter Curtiss, Geo. E. Bryant,
secretary Wisconsin State fair, VIM.
Kiser, A. o. Fox, Mr.. Wylee, j. Kiser
and Wallace Moore. The stock consists
of trotting and draft horses, short horn

shire sheep, Berkshire and Poland China
swine. A greater part of this stock was
imported from the mother country and
are prize winners in England, 1850 and
1881, part of the stock being imported
this season. This one exhibit would
make up the ordinary display at State
fair, but Secretary Judson says it is but
drop in the bucket of what will be on
exhibition at the State fair
Mr.. Hyatt, superintendent of the ma
chinery department, has received orders
to double the space for machinery and to
put up $50 feet of additional shafting, as

other machinery are coming in force

In fact the people are bound to visit the
