seen there Misses Clara and Lulu Beall
and Mrs Irving Underhill are in charge of
this department.

voted their time principally to inspecting
the horses. cattle, sheep and hogs, and the

Cashell; herd of red poles. A. L. Ford Mr.
Caleb Stabler has charge Of this exhibit.
Sheriff Collier and nearly all of his depu-
ties were on the grounds during the day, in
anticipation of disorder but their services
were not needed, as everything passed off
quietly.
The Judging Of exhibits began this morn
ing and will not be completed until late
this afternoon. At 10 o'clock there was a
grand cavalcade of stock around the race
track. This feature was much enjoyed.
