H.
The attendance at the state wide
fair was not as large this morning
and yesterday afternoon as might
have been expected, the Topeka peo-
pie having decided to wait until later
before taking in the fair on ac-
count of the fact that the races were
called off. There was a mob of
children present, however. as they
were admitted free. On account of
the damp weather of the early
morning many town people were also
kept away, although. there was a
good representation from the i'm
mediate farming communities. It is
expected that the races of the next
few days will bring big crowds.
The judging of the horses began
yesterday, this department being of
especial interest on account of the
exhibits of imported stock, w. L. De
Glow and North & Robinson of
Grand Island, Neb., are among the
big exhibitors.
The judging of the hogs has been
in progress today. Mr.. Berry of
Lawrence. who has charge of this de-
partment says that~the exhibits of
Berkshires and Poland Chinas are the
best ever seen in Topeka. The sheep
exhibit is also considered most ex-
cellent.
Further consignments of animals
have been added to the live stock de-
partment. Maxim Bros. of Grand
view, Mo-, are displaying 10 head OF
Hereford cattle which secured nine
teen prizes at the state fair at Des
Mofnes and twenty-five premiums at
the Nebraska state fair at Lincoln.
The exhibit of Mr.. STANDARDS from
the Sunny Slope farm, 4 Emporia, is
one of the finest in the cattle depart
