before the fair.
The society offers three special
prizes of $25, SIS and $40 for the best
and most attractive exhibits of fruit
and vegetables displayed by any Ad-
Olson County Grange in horticultural
hall. This competition has been institu-
ted at the suggestion of some of the
Oranges and is expected to prove one
of the great attractions of the 1910 fair.
The emphasis will be laid as mnch
upon the attractiveness of the booths,
as upon excellence of the products
shown. Colonel Ilsley has promised to
provide a special building for these
Grange exhibits if the competition this
year will warrant him in so doing. 1t
therefore behooves each Grange to do
its very best.
No pains or expense has been spared
this year by the Race Department to
render the racing satisfactory to the
most exacting critic. The Society Of
fers about $4, 200 in race premiums.
81, 800 of this is appropriated for early
closing stake races, novelty at Middle
bury, and $500 more for the first of the
Society's colt futurities, also a novelty
here. The stake races have more than
filled and some very hot contests are
promised. The usual late closing events,
including the famous original 81 900
Free-For-All, also will be given.
Owing to the coming of fully 100
race horses, the management has
ordered the construction of horse barns

ed in time for the accommodation of the
additional trotters and PAGERS.
