THAT GRAND PRIZE.

The Sun has 90 desire to enter into
controversy with The BartoE Courier.
Informant over the division OF the
grand championship prize at the recent
State Fair. We simply stated the
plain facts 10 the case-thst no one
connected with the Fair from Alschua
county was satisfied with the decision
of the judges, etc, and we reiterate
the assertion. Furthermore, The
Sun is informed that the decision Of
the judges was as greata surprise 20
the Fair commissioned from Polk as
it was to Commissioners Calison and
others from this county; that before
the decision Commissioner Ruhl stated
that Alachua county had undoubtedly
won the grand championship prize,
bat that he hoped to obtain the sec.
tional prize "a the best Represented
county in the South Florida group.
II he disputes this, il is a matter Of
veracity between him, Commissioner
Callison aud others OF our intormants.
TIE SUI has 10 in feeling toward
any citizen OF Polk county in the mat.
ter, and attaches no blame 10 any OF
them for the decision of the judges
dividing with her what Alachna coun-
ty was fairly entitled 10. The editor
Of this paper demonstrated his friend
shin tor Barlow and the present editor
OF The Co1reir. Informant at time
when he wss warned that his action
would in the eud, prove detrimental
TO the interests OF Gainesville and
Alachua county, and the action Of the
last Legislature demonstrated that
those who force warned ne could see in
20 the future.
The Sun, Ia COMMON with the people
OF AlAchus county and other sections,
regards the decision OF the judges as
unfair. and as an effort To 'satisfy"
all sections ~ the State, rather than
upon the merit OF the various exhibits.
