Fine Stock Show.
Everywhere the remark was heard that
the stock show was the best ever seen
in this city. The men who brought the
fine horses, cattle and hogs had evidently
taken the trouble 20 get them in fine
condition, and the great crowds Of peo-
pie who gathered around the stalls on
the east side Of the grounds were de-
lighted with the fine specimens on exhi-
bition- The fair company had built more
new stalls and then they did not have
eonugh to hold the stock and a string of
fine Jersey cattle had TO be lined up out
side Of the pens.
! The first thing TO attract the atten-
/ ton of the visitors in the east stalls
were the fine Percheron horses Of ]. w
and J. c. Robinson of Towanda They
had seventeen head decorated like
/ horses for a flower parade and they were
/ fine ones. These men have furnished
| horses for two of the public sales in this
/ city and their stock is known all over
the west Their horses are always in
/ fine condition. and they go on the prin-
ciple that with a good pedigree must be
/ shown a good horse.
