in the swine department alone, three
large prize herds of Berkshires will be
exhibited during fair week, giving the
farmers opportunity to study the merits
of and purchase from this breed of
swine.
In the line of free attractions which
been provided by the society the Otoro
Japs will probably be the most popular.
This troupe of nimble little fellows from
the Orient surpass anything ever seen
in the state. lTl feats of balancing,
tumbling and difficult acrobatic stunts,
they stand far abeve any other troupe
performing in Amefiea, and are worth
alone the price of admission.

for the national game. On Wednesday
