Inn AkUt EfNtlAAANffkAA amman sNsAN A%As
and exposition OF the West Virginia
State Fair Association will be the most
successful OF the seventeen is confidently
predicted by Secretary George Hook,
who was seen last night by an Intelli-
gencer reporter
Here" said Mr. Hook, handing the
reporter the entries for the horse races,
ARE the entries OF 1853 horses for the four
days racing, beginning Tuesday and
concluding on Friday afternoon. Last
year we had 1870 entries, Not alone ara
this years entries more numerous thar
ever before, but the horses generally are
faster and Of higher class than those
that have performed on our track az
previous state fairs. We have hOrse1
from Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, New York, Kentucky and
even from far-away Alabama, We have
always treated the horsemen with in
variable fairness, and as result each
year brings better horses and better
races 10 our fair"
"How are the entries coming In for eX-
hiblts?" asked the IntelIIgencer man,
Couldn't be better" responded the
genial and hustllng secretary, -Four
days before the fair last year we didn't
have half as many entries as are already
in for the fair next week. There Is an
increased interest all along the line.
Ladies', chlldren's and art departments
will be very attractive, The entries In
the live stock departments are coming
IN fast, the exhibits of sheep, cattle and
driving horses will be better than ever
before, and the same statement, In fact.
applies to every department of the entire
exposition. With good weather we eX-
pect a record-breaking attendance, for
we know the first day crowd will be an
army OF walking advertisements before
which even the power OF the press
would be put to flight; and you know I'm
a firm believer in printers ink and
plenty Of It,"
The entries for the harness races closed
Tuesday night. The entries were COM
piled yesterday, with the following re-
