There Will BIO Inauguratcd a Stock
Fair, Where Improved Stock, Hor-
SOS, Cattle, Mules, Jacks, Jen-
nets, Hogs, Sheep and Poultry,

Both from this and other counties
will be- exhibited aud on each of the
four days there will be trials of speed
in the speed ring-by horses from the
Canadas to Texas which will go
only for blood. "The trotting horse
has become the prominent feature of
agricultural fairs aud we opine no
county or state fair could succeed
without strong representation Of
tho various grades of the trotting
horse hence in connection with the
stock fair there will be four trials of
speed, given ON each day, one of
which will be exclusively for our own
county horses. These races will be
gin at 2 p. M, the exhibition of the
stock at 10 II. IN. sharp. Premiums az
grcgating one thousand dollars will be
distributed among the successful COM
petitors of stock aud $4,000 to the
successful competitors in the speed
ring. All under the able manage
ment of our fcllow-citizen Sanford
Johnson, to whom all desiring cata-
logues, premium lists and programs
of races, both here and at Houston,
should address themselves. Under
the same management, the following
week heuinnin" N~,r~...i~- 80
continuing to the 10th, inclusive, races
will be had at Houston where purses
amounting to $4,000 will be distribu-
ted. There will be live races each
day; one of them being for home
horses. These, races will be almost a
REPETITION of those had here. From
advices already received at the Office
of the management, we are assured
that liner line OF fast thoroughbred
stock has never been seen inthc
south than that which will be exhibit
ed and compete here and at Houston
in November.
