Secretary Randall, of the state fair, has
received the sale catalogue of the Amer
lean Hereford Breeders association. It
contains the name, number and breeding
of every animal that will be offered in

ture Of the Hereford exhibit-128 head in
all. Prospective buyers can thus fully
advise themselves of the character of
the stock before purchasing Copies Of
this catalogue may be obtained from F.
w. Randall, HamlIne, or by addressing

Independence, Mo.
1t must not be supposed that this cata-
logue will include all the animals exhib-
tied by the Hereford breeders On the
contrary, only very small part of them
will be found in this list. These are the
animals which will be sold at auction to
the highest bidder. absolutely without
reserve. If other animals are to be sold
1t will be at private sale and many of
the magnificent specimens of the Hereford
breed that Will be exhibited will not be
for sale at any price.
The management is more than pleased
at the way the race entries came in. The
entire list includes 219 horses entered for
the various purses, ranging from 29 in the
St Paul 2:13 pace for the $1,000 purse
guaranteed by the st. Paul business men.

purse guaranteed by Minneapolis, down
to IN the 2:10 trot The 2:07 pace was
the only race that did not fill This was
scheduled for Saturday. and its emission
will offer a place for the usual consola-
ton race
By extending the time for making en-
tries from July /, the date in previous
years, to July IA, the management has Sc
cured much more equitable classifica-
ton of horses. The date was moved
with this in view and a smaller entry
list was anticipated. This chance could be
taken, however. because it was felt that
a larger number of entries would put in
an appearance. The increase in the num-
Der of entries from 1876 last year to 219
was, therefore, as gratifying as 1t was
unexpected.
The list of entries of county exhibits
now includes seven counties: Stevens,
Rice, Olmsted, Martin, Houston, Sher-
burne and Wabasha. Five of them are
new in this competition. It is expected,
however, that number of other counties
will come to the front, including some of
the Northern counties that have been in
this race for a number Of years. The
management offers 81, 500 for this COM
petition, 81 POO being distributed on the
basis of points scored and the other $500
going in prizes to the first, second and
third
There is enough in it to repay any coun-
ty to make a good exhibit and the coun-
ties that are proud of their agricultural
resources can hardly afford to be outsof
it. This exhibit attracts the attention of
many visitors from abroad, as we'll as
