Fine Long cared Stock.
More than a score OF mules OF ages
were exhibited at the fair grounds yes
terday, and it was the outspoken opin-
ion Of those hest informed on the quail
tiles Of long cared animals that there
has not been seen anywhere else this
year a better display Of these useful
creatures. The judges experienced
much difficulty in reaching a conclu-
sion in the various rings, so evenly
matched in fine points were the best
of those shown. Maury countisns
captured a fair share of blue ribbons.
H. P. Pickens, of Bedford ccun-
ty, exhibited several splendid speci-
mems and was frequently successful
in winning first honors, though in the

years old and over. he had to be salts

Maury county. The fact is not men,
toned here in any boastful spirit In
the interest CT this county, but merely
to call attention to the splendid animal
thus signally honored by bearing off
the blue over others whose fine points
were hardly less apparent in the eyes
Of the Judge. The final verdict was
no doubt a Just one, for certainly no
finer mare mule has been seen in this
county in many years. But though
the verdict went to Maury county In
this instance, Mr. Pickens evened up
matters somewhat in the champion
ship class for the best mule of any
age, capturing both first and second.
He was an exhibitor in all the rigs,
and in those he did not capture first
he was never worse than second.
R. L. Hayes, of Maury county, was the
victor in the ring for 3-year-old horse
mules, and was clearly entitled 70 it,
for the animal exhibited by him was
universally conceded to be one of the
finest specimens of his age seen at any
of the fairs this fall.
