The Audubon High School base ball

Saturday, beating the Extra boys by a
score nineteen to four. They are now
trying to make arrangements for SER
les of games with the High School
clubs of Manning, Carroll, Atlantic,
etc. The boys should be careful who

may be reversed.
IL. w. Wilson has entered his colt
in the state fair races and Judging from
the large field of entries the race will
be warmly contested. Audubon coun-
ty has a good field of young horses
and we would like to have seen more
entries made from this county, and
would feel proud to see most of the
money won by the colts from this
county. Every horseman will watch
for the result Of this race with much
interest as it is a good colt in a good
race.
The money subscribed for the new
barns and Improvements at the fair
grounds is due and is being collected
SO as to pay all bills in connection
with the work now in progress. John
q. Davis and those who have worked
hardest to obtain money to make the
needed Improvements, favor building
q new anpitheatre which should be
done by all means. The old one is not
large enough to accommodate the at
tendance and as it is paving feature
of the fair it should not fail to be built.
The Association now has fine cattle
barns and modern sheep and hog pens.
a floral hall creditable to the fair, and
with the completion of the barns for
speed and draft horses, it only lacks
the building of a good commodious
ampitheatre suitable to the needs of
the attendance to make the fair
grounds the most creditable in western
lowe. These grounds belong to the
entire people of the county and every
one should feel an interest in them and
contribute something to help finish
the work now in progress. See the
president or secretary or any of those
interested and donate to one of the
most worthy causes ever before the
people Of the county. Help push it
along. 1T is worthy in every respect.
