asking what is being done, what the
prospects are and what kindof a Fair
we will have this year.
1t is believed that these notes will
give at least some of the information
desired, and will prove interesting TO
every one interested in the progress
oi the county, and To every one who
is looking forward To a few days of
pleasant outing. No more ENJOYABLE
way of passing n few days of leisure
can be devised than To spend them at
Tazewell Fair.
Inc new Ntrginia-Carolina Circuit,
Just formed this year, insures 10 all
the Fairs belonging To il n larger
number Of high-class horses. Taze-
well Is the third meet on the circui.
Galax and Iadford preceding IL,
and Roanoke, Lynchburg, Richmond
Raleigh, Charlotte and Columbia
following IL In the order named.
Tazewell's position is most fortu-
nate, in that IL comes after the rae
Ing has usually gotten under way,
and before accidental or other cir
decreases the number OF
horses on the circuit, consequently
we are already assured the presence
OF greater number OF fast horses
thnn ever before. The three Stake
Races $4,000 90 purse I'm each), have
already been filled, with twenty nine
entries In the three races. In adj
dition To the Stake Races, there will
be five other harness races $500. 90
purse i'm each) and IL Is confidently
expected that they Will have many
entries. AS the entries I'm them have
not been closed, figures cannot be
given i'm them, as In the stake races
where entries closed June first.
There Will also hc three running
races, for good purses. The above
races do not include local and county
races. This racing program is entire
ly sufficient TO attract every lover OF
horse flesh.
There Will also be the usual dis
play and competition In the saddle
and driving rings. a good deal OF
work is being done on the track
especially In widening it at the
standing place giving much more
room and making IL easier To get the
horses we'll started. The track will
be In first class condition in all re-
spects.
A new well Will be bored near the
grand stand, thus doubling the sup
ply OF water, besides making it moro
convenient for the people.
a number of new stalls are being
lifted up To accommodate the increase
number OF horses, and other stalls are
being repaired.
The poultry show will be far ahead
of anything ever before seen in this
section. Ii will be revelation to
the people To see what is being done
In the county i'm breeding chickens
OF the best strains in this country.
The exhibition will be II credit to the
county and the birds shown will be
as good aS can he seen anywhere. An
expert has been employed TO come
here To do the judging.
The ladies and gentlemen's riding
contests and the display of saddle
horses Will attract the usal attention.
Cash premiums will likely be given
Instead of the usual special pre-
miums In the riding contests, but
this has not been definitely decided,
as yet Altogether, we have the
most iattering prospects in the his
tory OF the association or the county.
Let every body talk il up-AND
COME.
