Premiums For the Bantles.

There are quite a number of lit
tie folks around who have a pair
of bantams, which is not enough
to compete for a premium as the
premium list reads, as it requires
one male and four females to COM
pete for a pen premium. There
fore the fair association has
authorized a special premium on
bantams, a pair, male and female,
$500 for the First premium and
S1.0O for the second. This will
let the little folks with their
bantams in and make them feel as
though they had interest in the
association, aside from the merry
90 round, which will be on hand
at the usual place, in the south
west corner of the grounds.
