The premium list and race program
Tor the sixth annual exhibit of the
Grenada Fair association is receiving
much favorable comment from the
farmers of this section, as we'll it may.
The premiums in all departments
show an increase over those of last
year, while the purses are far more
attractive. In the live stock depart
ment $50 is offered in premiums for
horses and mules, while $50 is offered
for cattle. Sheep and poultry also
come in for a fair amount of premi-
umS, while in the art department and
the ladies' department liberal sums
are listed.
The race program is unusually at
tractiVe, six races being scheduled for
each of the three days, and while the
purses are not as large as the mango
ment would wish they are somewhat
larger in the aggregate than those of
last season. The following are the
