H. G. Skinner, the sheep man, has
called our attention to one or two
errors in the premium list Of the
county fair which we published in
full last week. Under Division b,
class 2, horses, the winner Of the best
saddle horse shown by gentleman
was given as H. F. Skinner, when
it should have read H. G. Skinner.
In the sheep department the winners
for best eve under one year were not
given. First premium was won by
F. M. Ellis and second prize went to
Mr.. Skinner. The list OF premium
! winners was prepared and given to Us
by the fair association, and in q work
OF this magnitude mistakes are un-
avoidable. No doubt there are other
errors in the list and il they are called
to our attention we shall be glad to
set the matter right.
