n,eniS Still Going On.
The fair promises to be good one this
year. Farmers have all raised good crops,
and all have something worth bringing to
the fair. Don't fail this year to manage
to spend every day from the opening to
the closing of the same. Every farmer
and his Ermily have earned three days Of
recreation after the hard work of the
past season and there is no better place
to spend holiday than at the Lincoln
Agricultural society exhibition. Come
with your wives, sons and daughters and
don forget to bring along some article
to the exhibit.
The president and secretary Of the So
cietv are on the grounds perfecting the
necessary arrangements. The Canton
cornet band has been engaged for the three
days. excursion rates will be given to all
who come from abroad, and everything
smacks of success. and good fair Our
business neil are speaking for their places
for the display Of their wares.
Elsewhere appears the large advertise
mcnt of the society, to which we would
call attention. The society will leave no
that will secure a good fair.
The band boys will give social dance
on the evenings Of the second and third
days of the fair at Bedford hall. Good
music has been engaged, and good time
is guaranteed all.
Parties intending to enter their horses
in speed classes at the coming county fair
should observe closely the conditions Of
each race as advertised and thereby much
annoyance and trouble will be avoided.
For instance the rule requires an en-
trance fee of 10 per cent. OF purse in each
race entrance to be made under seal to
the Secretary before o'clock A. NJ. We'd
nesday, September Goth 1882. And each
race requires. five entries and three
starters.
Horscmen desiring a certain race to
come off as advertised, must see to it
themselves that there are five entries be-
fore the time for closing Of enteries, as
the secretary has no right or authority
to receive any entry after 9 A. NJ, Sep
tember Goth, 1882 10 make it more
plain: Suppose three parties have horses
to enter in the three and one half minute
purse. They make their entries accord
ing to advertisement; 9 clock comes and
the Secretary has received no other entries
then the race must fail, as it has not fill
cd according to programme, and the three
persons entering their horses cannot trot
then and their only remedy is to receive
their entrance money back.
There could be no blame attached to
the Secretary or officers of the fair, still
uninformed parties would blame them
To prevent a failure Of the race, at or
before 9 clock, the three parties in this
instance should get together and enter
two other horses no matter what ones,
that would fill the race, and then they
would have their own three horses to
start, which would meet the requirments
of the society.
The officers Of the society desire to have
every race filled and run or trotted. as the
case may be, for blood, as they wish to
furnish ssall amusement possible for the
people, and in offering their purses they
have done their duty and it rests with
them having speedy horses to carry out
their part Of the programme
