80 promises to be a grand success. The
buildings and grounds are being put in per.
feet order, and the plans for the entertain.
ment of visitors are the most elaborate in
the history of the society. The high char.
acter Of the managers is sufficient guarsn.
tee that nothing will be permitted on the
grounds that will be offensive to the people
in attendance.
Special attention is being given to the
racing, the entries for which close on the

already been placed on the lists. The mum

the available space, much OF which has
been engaged already. The exhibits of live

coed that of any previous year. Much in
terest appears to be manifested in the exhi-
bition throughout the county and the Dis.
