The Mortified Fair.

The eleventh annual meeting OF the Dog
River Valley Fair association was held at the
usual place on Colds trotting park about two
miles south OF the depot village in Mortified,
on Tuesday, Wednesday and rhursday Of last
week. The grounds had been thoroughly
RENTED, new stalls built, barn near the
grounds bought and fitted up with stalls
and places for storing hay and grain the track
worked over and everything put In good order
LOT the accommodation of stock and other ex-
hibits. The number Of entries, especially OF
stock and horses in particular, was larger and
the quality Of the exhibits OF unusual excel
fence. There was large number of driving
horses, single and matched, and OF yearling
colts and 1t is said that in these classes the dis
play was superior to that at the state fair. The
attendance on the second and third days was
large. About one thousand railroad tickets
were sold: The crowds were orderly and
SOBER, and no accident occurred to mar the
pleasure OF the meeting The races were
wei contested and with one or two exceptions
were trotted honestly: 1t is reported that the
receipts VIII be sufficient to cover all expenses
and premiums and pay off the debt. We re-
greet that we cannot give a full general report
OF the fair, but our arrangements to obtain ihis
unavoidably miscarred. The premium list
will be found on the eighth page
