dom exposed will be exhibited in the cpep
stalls. La the horse line the Post Per-
cheron compaly will lead as usual, show
ing about fifty imported animals. Iowa.
Colorado and Nebraska breeders have en-
gagged space. Many territorial horsemen
will make credltable exhibits. The cattle
show will be a feature. Fat and highly
bred Herefords. Durhams. Holsteins and
Shorthorns may be seen.
Every inch of space in Art hall will be
occupied by displays surprising in quality
all previous efforts.
There has not been such a rush for floor
room in Merchants aud Mechanics hall
as the fair management desired, but there
were many applications for places yester-
day and the hall will doubtless be well
filed by to morrow evening. Exhibitors
have been arranging their displays for
several days.
For perhaps the first time in the his
tory of the fair Agricultural Wyoming
will be well represented. The big room
under the grand stand will be filled to over
flowing with products of territorial soil.
The display of cereals especially will be
a revelation to many who are not cogni-
zant of the great advancement of the
farming industry in the past two or three
years. Henry Altman yesterday received
from the Muddy creek ranch near Fetter-
man, Converse county, several bundles Of
wheat and barley equal to the product of
any state. The Farmers Alliance OF
Fremont county sends an exhibit, John
son will present evidence of her agricul-
tural capacity, while Albany, Laramie.
Uinta and nearly every other county will
have an extensive display.
The territory as an entirety will make
the best showing in the mineral exhibit
which Geologist Ricketts, has arranged.
To by far the largest cabinet ever seen
here every county will contribute almost
lavishly. There will be gold, silver, cop
per, iron, asphalt, coal. tin, mica, soda,
petroleum, marble and building stone.
A special and very fne exhibit of food
and game fishes propagated at the terri
torial fish hatchery near Laramie will be
made by Commissioner Miller.
Farm machinery in operation, wind
mills, etc, will be shown on the grounds.
The poultry show will be one to attract
attention.
II RACES.
Only readers of The LEADER have had
an opportunity to peruse the speed pro
gramme, but everyone knows it is a good
one and the fancy say that with the lib
eral purses hung up it will bel the most
interesting vet held here. To home PEG
pie these are the features: First day,
Cheyenne club cup; second day, cowpony;
third. hurdle; fourth. Wyoming, cup;
added day, consolation cup). All of
these trophies are costly and elegant and
entries are limited to native horses. The
prizes for trotters are big and have at
tracted the speediest sulky pullers in the
Rocky mountain region. There are nine
teen numbers on the speed programme
and races will commence promptly at .
o'clock every afternoon.
Five carloads of Colorado racers arrived
from the south yesterday morning and
were unloaded at the grounds. The equine
arrivals were the animals named in the
entries as published exclusively in THE
LEADER last week. j. G. @. Thurs.on is
here from Butte with a couple of flyers.
MIR. Lewis of Utah has four speedy ones
N. r. Davis. Post ercheron, T. j.
Montgomery, Doc Denton for Chas.
Hecht. and others have quarters at the
track for their strings. The Cheyenne
stables are ready for business. The Good.
ell horses, including Deronda and the
t%rotters and J.. d. Hardiu's lot will arrive
from the East over the Burlington this
morning.
I. j. Montgomery says positively thai
he will not start Fearnaught, one of the
most promising cup candidates. The clut
committee rejected him as a rider, assign
ing as a reason that he was a professional
Jockey. Of course Mr.. Montgomery de
MES this. The committee has offered tc
furnish a competent rider, and it is hoped
that Fearnaught will appear.
The pool rooms we're opened last nigh
at the Inter Ocean. There was a big
crowd, but only a small amount of bet
ting; 800 to 800 was laid several timel
that Deronda would not win the club cup
Pool selling will be lively tomorrow night
and side betting proceeds in the meantime
Spider, of the Cheyenne stables, ha'
