powowed until about IL O'Clock over
the boundary lines. A vote was finally
taken on an extension of the lines to in
clude the colored school and we presume
small bit Of land surrounding it. This

ed the horses can be shipped TO Murray,
then to Union City, and then on a di-
rect line to Dresden and Paris From
Paris the line is direct south to Hum

then to the other Southern fairs. The
owners Of horses by examining the rail-
road maps can readily see that this ar
rangement is as good as could be made,
and the circuit expects that it will bring
better horses than have been seen here
at former fairs.
No one here can hardly object to be-
ing moved forward one week. It's more
than likely that the weather win be the
same as it would be week later, and
then there is q chance Of getting bet

fixed at 2:30 trot and 2:24 pace.
