farmer never planned, but things
just came about. This exhibit
should be arranged fer from one

made to grow products superior
to the year before.
A better display should be ar
ranged. The almost indescrib'
able mass of products that was
on exhibit, all of which are bound
to be Of the very best quality
proves that should efficient and
painstaking efforts and careful
attention be given to this rich
and productive land it will excel
any sister state in the Union.

FIRST PRIZE

The Caddo county farm pro.

Anadarko, Okla, commencing
Saturday, Oct. 3 and closing
Saturday, Oct. "a, 1908, was a
success in every particular. Ex.
hibits of all kinds of farm pro.
ducts, from every part of the
county, began pouring into the
exhibition building on Broadway
on the first day, and by the fol
lowing Saturday there was hard.
ly room for the wonderful display
of corn, cotton, wheat, oats. al
falfa, red clover, milo maize, pop
corn, sweet corn, kaffir corn,
broom corn, tobacco, peanuts,
Irish potatoes, first and second
crop; sweet potatoes, both yams
and yellow jerseys; onions, wat.

melons, pumpkins, squashes, to.
matoes, radishes, carrots, beats,
turnips, green beans, cabbage,
egg plant. pepper, cucumbers,
parsnips, vegetable oysters, ap.
Piles. pears and ounces, and in
fact every thing that could be
thought Of in tho line OF grains,
vegetables and fruits.
The fruit display was excellent,
and we predict that Caddo coun-
ty will in few years be one of
the leading fruit centers OF the
United States. Caddo county
had no exhibit at the state fair,
which is to be- regretted for with
her fine pro she could have
easily captured the premium for
the bes county exhibit, fer such
fine corn, cotton, kaffir corn and
such monstrous sweet potatoes,
pumpkins, squashes and onions
that were exhibited at the Caddo
county farm product exhibit,
were enough to convince the
visitors from Missouri, as we'll as

Mcfarland Is Here
TO Trim Britt
Bat Nelson Claims That Sam
Berger Ran Out on His
Agreement

Packy Mcfarland, the Chicago light
weight. who has been setting the east
agog with his sensational work during
the past year, arrived last night in
company with his manager. Harry Gill
more Jr.. and his sparring partner, Pat
Keeneally. Just as soon as he can find
training quarters Mcfarland will start
to work in order to be in the best pos
sible shape for a mixup with Jimmy
Britt on the last night of the month.
Packy is a wiry looking chap, pleas
ing in appearance and mild of manner.
He waves the talking privilege in favor
of his manager, who is well prepared
for all emergencies. Packys one desire
is to show the fans of this city that he
can fight. Packy said:
All I have to say is that / want to
knock Jimmy Britt out / know that /
have to beat him decisively in order to
make good with the sports here and
also to sustain my eastern reputation.
Give me couple of weeks in which to
train and then L will do the best L can"
Mcfarland will look around for train
ing quarters Immediately. He has been
recommended to Millets place near
Colma, and it is very likely that he
will make that resort his headquarters.
Packy is a great baseball fan-one of
the strongest rooters the White Sox
have on their staff. Consequently when
he learned that the SOX were trimmed
twice here and once in Los Angeles a
shadow of gloom overspread his coun-
tenance. But never mind" added the
little fighter, II will be out to root for
them the next time they start here, and
then the finish will be different. They
can always win when 1 am on the
bench"
According to Battling Nelson, Sam
Berger, the latest fight promoter 10 en-
ter the field. is getting in bad for a
newcomer. Nelson claims that Berger
signed him up with Mcfarland, agree
ing to give the fighters 60 per cent of
the purse and an additional 10 per cent
to him as a bonus. Bat says that
Berger later discovered that he could
secure Britt at lower figure and then
closed with the native son. The best
Bat got was a note from Berger saying
that he would explain everything later.
Bat, according to latest advices, is still
awaiting the explanation. He promises
to have his little bit to say when he
arrives in this city soon.

Gains Second Victory
in Cup Contest

Coast Champion Maurice Mclaughlin
scored his second win of the Hammond
cup at the California club courts yes
terday. He met Z. 2. Finnegan, winner
of the second class, in the finals and
won three sets out of four. AS in most
of his final matches, the champion
started poorly, losing the first set. Fin
nigan had a handicap of owe 40, and
after winning the first set easily many
of the spectators were of the opinion
that the odds were too large. Such did
not prove to be the case, however, as
Mclaughlin pulled himself together and
took the second and third sets handily.
The fourth and what proved to be the
deciding set was the only one that was
close. Both contestants struggled hard
for the lead, and when the score stood
6-5 in favor of Finnigan he looked to
have a good chance to even up the
score. Mclaughlin, as usual, proved
equal to the emergency and pulled the
set out, SIS.
The contest throughout was a pretty
one and would have been much closer
but for nervousness on the part of Fin
nigan. He made 23 double faults. which
is great many more than the average.
Finnigan handled McLoughlin's difficult
service nicely, but the champion proved
much too strong for him, both at the
net and in the back court. The score.
in McLoughlin's favor, was 2-6, 6-S, ga,
SIS.
