POULTRY AND DOG SHOW.
Thy Will De Prominent Features at the
r. I. State Pair.

Two exhibits which have always been
strong drawing cards at the II. /. State
Fair, are poultry and dogs; and their
Importance can hardly be overestim-
ated. This year the managers have
gone to considerable expense to insure
the standard Of excellence in these de-
partments, which has characterized
them hithertofore. Millions OF dollars
are invested in poultry raising and
many thousands of persons given occu-
patton; and as the r. I. State Fair
reputation extends far beyond the con-
fines OF the state, 1t is safe to assume
that very many Of the finest specimens
of the featherd tribe in the country will
be placed on exhibition here.
The management has arranged a fine
premium list; and competition, judg-
ing from the entries up to date, will be
exceedingly sharp. The kennel depart
ment of the fair Will undoubtedly prove
a feature of especial interest. Every
detail that skill, prudence and past ex-
perience can suggest has been consid-
cred. There will be a great variety on
exhibition, many famous kennels being
represented. 1t will be the finest bench
show ever given in this state. The ex-
hibits show up excellently well In the
evening, under the electric light; and
the fair. which will be held during La
Dor Day week. will be open from a. m.
to 10 p. m.
