most successful III point Of attendance fol
several yeafs. TIE attendance during ths
week was fairly good but that OF THURSDAY
was especially large The admissions or
that day were the second largest in the his

on Thursday and this with the heat made
It exceedingly unpleasant This seemed
however to be the expected feeling Of the
occasion and very little complaint was
heard. The exhibits although not quite
as large as other years were Of finer
quaity.
The horses and colts were exceptional
ly fine ard showed that the farmers be-
leve in breeding fine stock. The poultry
display was good and the exhibit Of need
le work was one Of the finest ever seen in
Il es parts.
