fakirs, sideshows and fair-followers of
every description, and the officers are
keeping close lookout for any thieving
or garroting.
Everything is activity and excitement
at the race-course, and the stalls are all
occupied. The animals are in the pink of
condition, and owners and trainers con-
cede that better time will be made here
than ever before.
The directors are determined to maxi
the fair big success, and the strictest
discipline will be maintained during the
week. The exhibits of live stock, poul-
try, etc., are rapidly increasing.
The first stock parade will take place
tomorrow forenoon. A number of horses
from the south arrived on last evenings
