This year we intend to have RACING
in all that the word implies, or no rae
ing at all. We have begun by offering
strong purses which will attract horses
from distance, and in the stake races,
which closed June 1st, we had number
of entries. This will insure good races
in these events, and the stables with
horses entered in the stake races will
bring other horses for the races not yet
closed.

LIVE STOCK EXHIBIT.
Notice-The attention of exhibitors
is called to the fact that the manage

all departments of live stock. Hereaf-

besides this, an additional per cent
will be deducted from all money win

but winning no money will pay only 5
per cent; persons entering and winning
money will pay 10 per cent. All purses
in the live stock department will be di-
vided into three monies; to the exhibit
taking lst premium, 60 per cent of the
purse; End, 25 per cent; 3rd, Is per
