The next Annual Exhibition of
the Shelby county fair, one of the
oldest and without exception the
best county fair in Kentucky will
hold its 1901 meeting, beginning
August 27 and continue four
days. The Floral Hall is made
the more beautiful each successive
year The horse, mule, jack, swine
and cattle show is not surpassed
anywhere on the globe. The trot-
ting is interesting, and order per-
feet. There are no more hospitable
people on the globe than are in
Shelby county and every man, WON
an or child who goes for pleasure
will not be disappointed.

A Parable.

Behold an advertiser went forth
to sow
And when he sowed, some seed
fell into handbills and dodgers,
and the street cleaner came and
cleaned them up
Some fell among concert and
theatre programs, and the people
being interested in the performance
and not in bargains, they were left
on the seats or crumpled and
thrown on the floor.
And some fell among fake
schemes and gift enterprises, and
popular contempt sprang up and
choked them.
But some fell into Legitimate
newspapers, which found their way
into the homes of the people who
had time to read them, and they
brought forth fruit, some one
hundred fold, some sixty fold, and
some thirty fold.
Who has ears to hear let him
hear.

Good Record.

The trotting at Detroit last
week was little inclined to be
sensational. Eleata by Dexter
Prince won the $40, 900 NJ. and N.
Stake, with Country j., "a Ken
tueky entry, second. Iva Dee,
driven by Dug Thomas. was sec
Ond in the last heat in 2:0S8.
Boralma won the 2:0S class trot
but had to reduce his record to
2;O74 to win. IIetty G won the
2:06 pace in straight heats, fastest
being 2:054. From the way she
won the race this former pupil of
Dug Thomas is great mare
again this year In the free-for-
all pace some very fast time was
made. Coney won first heat in
= 2:02, but Anaconda won the race
by taking the next two heats in
2;O24 and 2:O39. In free-for-all
trot there were but two entries,
Cresceus and Charlie Herr. Cres-
ceus was much the best horse in
this race and trotted away from
Herr. The heats were trotted in
2:O6f and . sos fiat, which is the
fastest heat ever trOtted in race,
Directum having trotted some
years ago in 2;054. 1t looks as if
Cresceus might take the trotting
record this season. Charlie Herr
is slow horse to get on edge and
he will likely be heard from later
in the season.
