New England Fair Prospects.
Entries for the big show at Worcester dur
inn ho f-sr s,,S opfa
on Mr.. BOwker's desk and present indications
point to a list of exhibitors larger by 200 than
that of 1898. The first entry of cattle was re-
ceived Monday, August 9th, and by the 18th,
the day. that cattle entries closed, there will
be entries enough to assure one of the largest
and best cattle exhibit ever held in New Eng
land. Last years exhibit of sheep will be re-
membered as a mammoth one, but the eyhib-
it this September will put it in the shade COM
pletely Sheep raisers have evidently heard
of the special premiums offered by the differ
ent sheep record associations, and they are
heading for Worcester to make try at them.
Five hundred may seem a large estimate of
the number of sheep entered but when all the I
entries are in it won't be far from correct
one.
The Manchester fair will be held September !
II, ~ and 10.
The list is dandy from start to finish and
some of the people are worth the price of adj
mission alone. The list includes the -Four
formerly known as the Clinserettis,

ripple bar men, the -Four Rosaires, the even

lians, and Mill Olive, one of the cleverest
ugglers on the road.
