rolled as one of the University students

The 'Pearl Seekers" of the Presby-
terian church held very successful and
enjoyable sociable at the residence OF
Mrs. VIM. Lee, last evening. Both
house and surrounding grounds we're
filed with people young and old. The
neat earnings were S15.65.
Ralph Whitney returned this fore
noon with SLEEPY George" from Aber
deem. He was accompanied by three OF
the track horses of Mr.. Loomis', OF
Sioux Falls, which were taken to his
stables to be cared for until the evening
freight goes east.
Thursday was great dfy at Aber-
deem. ten thousand people being the esti-
mated attendance. The financial sue
cess of both the State fair and the grain
palace is an assured success The free
for all trot was won by Thornless, with
Luoetta second. Time 2:30, 2:28li,
2:274, 2:261s. The 2:40 class, for trot-
ters, was taken by sleepy George in three
straight heats, Bay Jim second and Bare

Mr.. C. B. Kennedy has received a let
ter from HI. B. Williamson who is in
charge OF the Lake county exhibit at
Aberdeen. MIR. Williamson says our
county obtained a good location in the
grain palace and the exhibit has re-
ceived many fattering comments for it's
excellence. He says further, that it will
be good to take to the Mitchell Corn
Belt exposition, but it should have more
fruit, corn and vegetables. With this
end in view Mr.. Kennedy desires all who
can to bring the best OF these latter pro-
ducts they can spare or find and he
will have them forwarded.
M. Levinger in Sioux Falls Argus
Leader, l5: We are paying as high as
35 cents per bushel for barley to-day
Yesterday at one time there were seven
teen wagons loaded with barley in front
of our brewery. One farmer from whom
| / bought 5000 bushels OF barley told me
that he had made enough profit off his
farm this year to pay the original pur.
chase price OF the farm. Scott & Thomp:
son, understand, have cleared their
farm again this year, which makes the
third time in succession. When that
thing can be done three times in sue
cession. you may guess that this is G
pretty good farming country.
1t should not be forgotten 10y our Ioca
sports and dog men that the great inter
national coursing meet takes place al
Huron in October and that many ken
nels are already under training in South
Dakota. A Huron dispatch of the 14th
says: Two New York kennel men with
several grey hounds have each taken uE
headquarters at the Whipple farm south
Of Huron and at Col. Ed Sterling s.nortf
OF the city, with their trainers, and art
getting their dogs ready for the great
meet. Kansas kennel men are at Mitch
ell, and one Indian kennel is understood
to be at Brookings engaged in training
for the meet. The California men are
not here yet, but are expected at any
time. Every thing bids fair for the com
ing coursing meet to be the grandest one
ever held. There is one thing certain
if splendid coursing grounds and plent,
of rabbits will make a great and sue
cessful meeting, the Huron meet on the
3rd OF next October Will be a glitterinl
success.
