THE CHICO FAIR.
Unusual Interest Taken in the Tenth
Annual Exhibition.

UNUSUAL interest Iaken in the Tenth
Annual Exhibition.
[Chico Chronicle-Rec July 1Oth.I
As the date of The annual fair of the
Third District draws near, everything tends
10 point more and more favorably toward
one OF the most successful events of the
kind that ever happened in this district.
There are more premiums offered this wear
than at any previous fair, and they extend
so far as to cover almost everything grown
or manufactured in the district, that are de-
serving of encouragement. Another, and
perhaps more prominent feature is, that
the premiums offered this year are consid-
cradle larger than those offered on previous
occasions, which is sure to warrant larger
and better display. The amount of money
available in the hands of the officers of the
board is considerably in excess of that
furnished at the previous fairs
These facts alone would seem to be suf-
tcient to warrant the coming fair I'M
bounded success, but the above induce
ments are not all that are offered. The
purses offered in the horse races are con-
siderable larger than last year, and the
races have been arranged so that they will
be varied and Interesting to outsiders as
well as horsemen. The smallest purse Of
fered is 5000, and the others range from
that up to 1000.
During the past winter the track has been
thoroughly worked and is in excellent con-
dition. 1t is the best track on which to
prepare horses for the State Fair, and is
acknowledged as one of the fastest tracks
in California. The purses offered are the
most liberal north of Sacramento.
With all these important and interesting
facts combined it is safe to predict that the
Tenth Annual Exhibition of the Third
District Agricultural Association will be
the most successful one ever witnessed in
the district
The premium lists have been issued and
are ready for distribution, and those who
