several thousands of people viewing
the fine animals.
Tho value of the animals on display

= Int an index of the revival OF the
interest in breeding and raising fne
horses in the county. Beausant tnat
sold for $4,000. and Walter Direct, Tor
which $4,000 was refused, attracted
much attention, but all the horses
wore greatly admired, and rightfully
so AS a rule they were in excellent
shane and we're splendid examples OF
the various types. Some of the ow-
ners showed special enterprise by hav-
ing lettered placards giving the name
and record and in some instances the
names of the colts Of their horses.
This helped the spectators to identify
the various animals and increased the
nphlic interest. In other cases the
si,var Guns won by the various horses
were carried along and gave an ad-
ded interest.
