interest in the fai. up 10 an exciting
pitch during its entire progress Jeakles
pony hippodrome races came in for full
share of favorable comment. The racing
contests around the course by these
miniature horses from the East Indies
were full OF excitement and interest to
both old and young. Their average time
for the half mile was 1:12. The trotting
races were an admirable feature OF the
Central Fair this year. One thing the
Central management excels in, and that

pulses that are always given on the
excellent half mile track of the associa-
ton. On Thursday the presence of Gov.
J. M. Rusk, A, A. Arnold, president of the
State Agricultural society, and Captain
Timme, Secretary of State. lent great
interest to the fair and rendered it not
only pleasant but marked day of the
exhibition. Mr.. Arnold delivered an off
hand speech to the large crowd, giving
excellent advice to his w-farmers,
which was embellshed with considerable
wit and many happy and suggestive hits.
The Governor followed in good hundred

we'll as he can veto a bill. Both
speakers left a most favorable impression
on their hearers by their plain, matter
of-fact, substantial kind of talk.
