DEAR News: Believing few words
from the State Fair would be of interest
to the readers of the News, take this,
the first opportunity, of letting you hear
from us. The boys arrived safe and
sound on Monday last, and after a re-
moval or two we are safely ensconced in
our quarters on the fair grounds. The
first and second days of the fair were
light and of course nothing was done,
and very few were in attendance save
those making entries. To-day an I'M
mense crowd was in to .'do" the fair, and
several exciting trotting and running
races came off; but of course the read
ers of THE News will want to know
how Lyon county and EmpOria people
are ',fairlng."

dogs were almost torn to pieces. At
this time the PnliadeI pAlans were JUDI
liant. a. they saw Toby begin TO weaken
again, although he had isht hold on
Paddy's jaw. The latter had Toby down
and dragged him around to a corner.
There Paidy broke Iobys hold. aud
caught Toby BY the throat, evidently
determined to choke him to death.

was accepted by the hackers Of Paddy,
with the proviso that Conklin should
let Paddy have a scratch. This was
agreed to, and Paddy was taken up his
handler and sponged oil, and then let
loose. He rushed over to Toby ) cor

poor Toby was lying nearly dead. The
referee decided all outside bets oft.
The time Of this desperate battle was
five hours and nine minutes. This Is
the longest fight Oh record.

Their merits are of the highest order, and epttle
