'LIYE. STOCK. STOCK .....
ENTRIES LARGE.
Records Broken in the Entries
For This Years Fair.
ALL STALL ROOM NEEDED
For the Live Stock Exhibits-The Rules
Under which the Exhib-
itors wnl He
Received.

Secretary Lehman, Of the agricultural
society, stated Tuesday evening that
the entries for the fair in the live stock
departments were now in excess Of last
years total entries, and entries can
be said to have just begun to come in.
He said he thought that from Sandy
township alone there had been made
more than fifty entries Of draft and road
horses. The Indications are that all
the stalls and stabling will be needed
to accommodate the entries and there is
no doubt that the live stock display
will be grand one. This is due largely
to the liberal premiums offered and the
inducements thrown out by the man
agement Of the fair.
Some Of the rules governing the en-
trance Of stock and other exhibits need
to be studied by exhibitors. They are
as follows:
