last year, and last years races were far
above the average.
1T is surprising the amount OF inter
est being manifested in the fair. We
are hearing from all parts of the state
and the outlook is for a tremendous at
tendance. The fact that the exhibits in
the horticultural and agricultural de-
partments of our fair are to be preserv-
ed for use at the st. Louis fair is lend
ing no little interest to our fair. Each
! department is under the supervision of
a Superintendent and the exhibits will
be worked up in the best manner possiz
bic in each branch of industry
