 CITY BEAUTIFUL PRIZES AWARDED.
 The Denney cup, for the most beau tlful and best-kept yard, was award ed yesterday at the fair grounds to Mrs. C. N Crow, whose home is on Watkins street. The judges had great difficulty in making this decision, as the large and beautifully kept lawn .of o. J. Owen, entered by his daugh- ter, Miss Floy Owen, could not be com pared with the smaller one of Mrs. Crow. To obviate the difficulty a citi- zens' prize, a solid gold locket and chain, was presented to Miss Floy The Mrs. J A. Pence prize, a jardi- nere with fern, for the prettiest porch box, was given to Mrs. J. Frank Jones' The judges were Mesdames G. H. Burr, W. s. Hammer and Miss Ida Waldran.
