Fnown seedsmen of Richmond. Offer a
pice silver cup for the best twelve
Ears of corn, the premium corn to be-
come the property of Wood and Son.
Inc cup is on exhibition in the wind
ow of Pobst, the jeweler.
A large number of subscriptions to
leading magazines and agricultural

in agricultural Department.
The Supt. of The Agricultural De-
partmeht had in mind, when he sup-
gestcd this contest, only the hope of
getting the owners of horses to give
them better attention. No fancy, or
unusual grooming was contemplated.
but only such as horse should re-
ceive daily. Good, honest currying
and rubbing, proper shoeing, etc.
Will be all that will be looked for or
expected. No fancy plating of name
or tail, ribbons and such, are neces-
sary. Only such treatment as a horse
should receive that has to work every
day. Not the finest horse nor the
most valuable horse. nor the largest
horse, only the horse which shows
the best attention on the part of his
owner, will be judged. Exercise your
own judgement. Fit upsnyour horse in
the way and manner which you think
best, and let the judge decide. The
main object is. not the premium, but
to start the boys in the habit of TAX
ing better care of their nice horses.
There arc good horses in this county
that haven't felt the touch of comb
and brush for years perhaps, and then
only when they are to be used OH
Sunday. 1t is said that man s char
acter is reflected in the horse he rides
and drives. Let's have a lively contest
ns to who has the best groomed horse.
The Supt. of the Agricultural De-
partment will have as his assistants
again this year his old stand-bys, P.

men have helped to run things in
this building from the first and know
what is needed and are always will
ling. They, like the Supt. of this and
those of the other departments, get
for their services except a
free pass and glory.

The Automobile Parade, the second
