goats, though the number is not large.
There are several specimens of goats,
the Angora being the pride of the
flock. There is also another pretty
variety, the name of which we did not
learn.
Cattle and Hogs.
There is a very attractive display
of cattle and hogs.
Fat and mild-eyed, each breed of
cattle has its admirers-the Jersey,
the Shorthorn, the Aberdeen-Angus,
the Holstein, etc.
Crodws gather about the hog pens.
and some of the pigs are as pretty as
a picture. They are as fat as butter
balls.
The mule-foot hog. which is said to
be cholera proof, attracted much at
tention.
The largest specimen hog is entered
by Mr.. II. H. Whitworth. He is a red
Duroc. and is a giant of his species.
The Burbank Exhibit.
One OF the most creditable exhibits
AT the fair is that of the Burbank
colony II is educational 1t shows
that our new settlers are vexing he
soil with the very best results. The
display consists of a variety of pro-
ducts including corn. oats, hay, pota-
toes. oranges, grapefruit, casava, let
tuce. peanuts and numerous other
things. The exhibit is really an in
SEPARATION.
Outside Attractions
The amusement features are said
TO be finer than at any previous fair,
and the indications seem to substan-
tiate this claim.
Those who are hunting for pleasure
along these lines will not be disap-
pointed One of these shows alone
has fifteen carloads of attractions.
THE RACES
As with all fairs, the chief attrac-
ton centered in the races.
Yesterday there were a multiplicity
of races. the management catering to
the tastes of all.
There were trotting races, running
races. bucking races, motorcycle
races and automobile races.
The bucking race was furnished by
the Mulhalrs World Wonder Show,
and was given as a free exhibition.
The motorcycle and automobile
race attracted the most attention be-
cause the contest was a more equal
one. George Chambers won the
prize in the first and Charley Gates
in the second
There was so much disparity in
he speed of the horses in the run
ming and trotting races and so much
unnecessary time consumed in start
ing that they excited only moderate
interest.
The following is the time and the
names OF the winers:
Motorcycle race-Entries: Geo
Chambers. I horse power Excelsior,
won first: Laurie Yonge, horse
