From Utah county alone more than
seventy-fve stalls have been reserved for
pedigreed horses and cattle and the total
number of entries in these classes is run
ming close on TO two hundred.
The sheep exhibit will be better than
heretofore, several entries having been
made already and more are promised.
Since the special offer by the Salt Lake
City Railroad company of S25 for the best
exhibit of bees in bee hives, an impetus
has been given to this department that
will show itself at the fair, it is anticipated
in swarms.
The poultry industry in Utah ranks in
Importance next to sheep, and since the
decision last evening to employ an eastern
crack judge to pick out the points of the
feathered fraternity the fine birds will all

have them stay away.
Mr.. Haight Of Pennington is supervisor
of the agricultural products, and being q

A large number of home manufactures
have been entered, and as this class will
include the inventors corner, there will be
many new and interesting features to this

to the fair. The competition between min
