AUDRArN FAIR ASSOCIATIONS
The First Was Organized in 1850 and
1t Is Interesting to Note the
Growth-A Combination Mile
and Half Mile Track Now.

In 1860 the citizens Of Mexico or
ganized fair association and built a
track and erected buildings In the
eastern part Of Mexico. The track
was about one tenth Of q mile around,
but under the management of R. w.
Sinclair, president, W. d. H. Hunter,
secretary, and J. P. Clark, treasurer,
the enterprise was q signal success.
The fair was suspended during the
civil war, but in 1886 the association
was reorganized and held fair at
which s1,4OO worth Of sIlyer-plated
ware was given as premiums. The
officers were Norman Lakeland,
president; r. w. Sinclair, yice-presi-
dent; W. d. H. Hunter, secretary;
J. P. CLARK, treasurer. These, to-
gether with the following, were direct
orB: Lemuel Carter. John w. Gam
Bile, o. A. A. Gardner, Reuben Pulls
Amos Ladd, William Harper and A. r,
Ringo. The fair grew and prospered
until 1880, when It was necessary to
secure larger and better grounds
Reorganization was effected and the
stock holders built a substantial half
mile track. The officers after the re-
organization were; r. W. Turemani
president; E. Rines, treasurer; ]. J
Steele, secretary. The board OF d.
rectors was composed of the above
named gentlemen and Joseph McDon'
aid, J. Fl. Howard, Lewis Hord, Will
liam Pollock, ]. McD. Trimble, ]. M
Daniel, R. R. Buckner, II. Glascock
r. O. Graham and J. A. Potts.
The first meeting on that site
which is the one used at present, wat
begun on Sept. IA, 1880.
Those who have acted as presidents
OF the fair associations in Mexico
are: J. A. Potts, O. w. Baker, Dol
Green Clay, Hon. o. F. CLARK, W. j
Bolts and Hon. 8. b. Cook.
In 1892 over $4,000 In cash prem
iums was paid out. Since 1880 only
one year was the holding of q fail
in Mexico neglected; this was in 1885,
during the Worlds Fair. In 1892
kite-shaped mile track was built ant
II has gained the reputation Of having
but one superior as q speed track
that Is at Terre Haute, Ind. Two year
ago half-mile track was built as
part Of the mile track.

Correspondence Of the Ledger.
VANDALIA, Mo-, June al UNDER
stand that the Board of Agriculture
will visit Mexico on Saturday, the Sd
inst, on their journey in quest of a
Suitable location for the State Fair.
Having had about twelve years' ex-
perience as q member OF the Audrain
Fair Association, l think ! can point
out many reasons why the State Fair
ought 70 be located ct Mexico.
First. That IL was through the un-
tiring efforts Of Hon. o. r. CLARK, our
Representative, the State Fair bill
was passed.
Second. That Mexico has reputa-
ton above all other towns for good
fairs, on account of the progressive
spirit of our people and because we
have the best grounds in the State.
Mexico is q graduate In fairs, having
started in 1859, when our prairieE
were covered with the old-fashioned
scrub cattle, our timbered land was
the abode Of the razor-back hog and
Missouri horses were but little better
than the bronchos which roam the
Western plains to-day. At these
early fairs our people saw and ap-
preciated the necessity Of improving
our stock and had made start when
the civil war broke up the enterprise
Our grounds were destroyed by sol
diers, but that spirit Of improvement
had taken hold OF our people and thu
smoke OF battle had cleared away
when we reorganizsd the fair associa-
tion. Our people closely Hcrutinized
the stock Of the older states and pur-
chased and brought to Audrain the
best animals that could be found
Mexico weekly ledger. (Mexico, Mo.) 1855-1956, 1899-06-08

They visited the blue grass slopes OF
Kentucky and secured the best Short
horn cattle produced there and in and
around Mexico were the Western
homes OF Black Squirrel, Artist, Moss
Rose, Montrose, Rex Denmark and
Rex Mcdonald. We are proud to
know that Audrain county produced
the champion saddler Of the world,
Rex MCDONALD, and that Kentucky
has been forced to come here to stock
up again. We have had many famous
trotters, such as Charley Ross, Black
Rattler, Missouri Cisy, Clay uadmus,
Robert Rysdyk, Electant, Light Hall,
Royal Gold Dust, Ayers HambIeton-
ian, LIewellyn and q number Of 9TH
ers. The progeny of these noted
horses is now scattered all over the
world and ali 8 man has to do to give
his horse q reputation abroad is to tell
1t that the horse was raised at Mex
leo, Mo.
Third. That the Mexico fair mas
done more to advertise the State than
all other agencies combined.
Fourth. That Mexico has earned
the name Of "The Lexington of Mis-
souri," being the center Of fine stock
Fifth. That Mexico is the biggest
city Of its size In the world and 4
centrally located and is full Of good
people always In the front ranks She
never fails to get what she goes after
Now, I have only mentioned 8 few
things that Mexico and Audrair
county have done for the live stock
agricultural and horticultural inter
ests of the State, as our magnificent
horses, droves of finely-bred cattle
sheep and swine, splendid mules
fancy poultry and fertile, highly-cul
tivated, splendidly y-improved farm
and wealfh-prodncing orchards vii
bear ample evidence.
Yours Respectfully,
8. e. KENDALL.
