The oueeus County Agricultural Society
New Departures.

New Departure.
An innovation is to be introduced by the
Queens County Agricultural Society at the
Mlneola fair this fall. For nearly sixty years
the fair has been an event Of Importance In
Queens county. Queen Anne villas now stand
on the site Of many a famous farm, and conse-
quently tho competitions in vegetables and farm
produce are no longer OF such general interest
rs they used to be. On this account. the Queens
County Agricultural Society, while retaining
the old features. have decided TO bring out new
ideas that will appeal to the changed element In
the population. The first OF the new features
will he a bench show and a horse show TO be
held In connection with the fair at Mlntola next
september.
Club and the Live Stock Society has been asked
to govern the two shows. He has prepared the
prize lists and rules. which will be acted on at
the May meeting OF the Queens County Agri-
cultural Society.
A few classes, including four-in-hands, tan
dcms, ponies. and rOadstere, were Judged at the
Mlneola fair last year, and the enthusiasm ere
ated by the competitions leads the managers TO
believe that n regular horse show will be an
assured success. A bench show will be a
more radical departure, although the hrst ever
held In the United states was at the Mineola
fair in 1874. IL was organized by Col. Frank A.
skinner, A. {. Waddell, Col. S. ID. Bruce, Thomas
A. jerome. and others. The dogs were shown
outdoors, in the stalls next the cattle. and were
a decidedly mixed lot. The coming show Will be
under the rules OF the American Kennel Club.
go that the best dogs on the circuit will be seen
on the benches.

San Francisco. 1t is said that the President Of
that organization desires to have the affair set
tied on May /. but 1t is not likely that this date
will be selected il the two men agree to come
together. as Corbett's theatrical interests will
hardly permit him to get into shape by that time.
Corbett gained his first laurels as a fighter at
clubs instructor. He may, however, refuse to
meet Maher there. because he claims that the
people of san Francisco. which is his home, havs
not been as lOyal. to him rs BELTS his reputation
