In the poultry department is an ag.
gregate of four hundred premiums (;

In the farm product department
there is paid an aggregate of 1876
premiums besides the special prem.
iums ranging from 81 to SO first prem

premiums.
There is special premium for
farm products as follows: So each
and a season ticket for collection
of not less than fifteen varieties
which must include corn, wheat
oats, potatoes. millet and alfalfa in
proper form for exhibition.
While we mention the aboe as a
special premium. in fact 1t Is not a
premium. 1t is simply a reward for
as many as will bring in this special
exhibit. Every one who brings the
fifteen varieties in proper form are
given the season ticket and 81.
There is a special premium also OF
$40 for sucking colts, four in number
by same sire. Owners not nessari.
ly the same.
If you have never exhibited before
do so this year. You will find 1t u
real pleasure, and while no single is
very large the premiums will pay you
something for the trouble. Your rea
pay, however, will be in the pleasure
you derive from the effort.
Attractions.
The cost of attractions this year
is the greatest ever paid out by the
Association and will unquestionably
be the greatest aud give the most
pleasure. The diving horses from q
forty foot tower will certainly please
every one. 1t Is the perfection of
this class of amusements. A few
years ago fake attraction of div.
ing elk was advertised The manage
ment of the Fair sent a representa-.
tive to witness this exhibition who
discovered that Mister Elk had to be
dragged to the top of the tower and
then pushed off into the pool below
and the Association refused to make
a contract with the diving elk. Thes
horses of their own accord and a.
the command of their owner from
below, DR.. Carver, walk up the long
incline to the tower, proudly, In style
reaching the platform at the top oi
the tower they walk out to the
margin, stand there with arched necks
intelligent faces, proud of the achiev
ment they are about to accomplish
and at the word swing out into the
air, descending in n circle to the
pool beneath. There is not an at
traction in the world like it.
The management guarantees to pay
back to every person who attends
the Fair his money if he is not
pleased with this performance. Many
of our citizens saw the performance
at Grand Island year ago. Oul
former sheriff N. Il. Armstrong could
not talk of anything else for week
and was often heard to say that he
would not have missed seeing this
performance for a hundred dollars.
The interest in this performance Is
perfected and intensified from the
fact that the horses are ridden by {
beautiful and cultured young woman
in their wild leap to the water below
The poolof water into which the hors
es dive is twenty by twenty feet witt
a depth OF sixteen feet of water.
The performance of Lady Weaver
the most famous guideless wonder II
the world, never fails to arouse th'
enthusiasm and affection of her au
dience. Her every movement disclos
es grace, activity and strength, ant
the intelligence she displays seem
to be human. She will make he
mile on this track, dehked in he
ribbons, bunting and flags, in 2:
without a cart and without driver
The three relay races, one each da
| will greatly please the audience. Th
management Is anxious to secure a
the entries possible in these races
Here is an opportunity for the youn
men and the young ladies of tn
county yho love horse and hors
back riding to earn some good prem
iums.
The Aeroplane.
