BABY SHOW A FEATURE.

The second day of the fair was
marked py an increase in attendance
together with larger and better dis
play of stock than has been exhibited
on the local grounds in former years.
The delightful weather continued and
cool atmosphere afforded comfort to
the visitors.
The display of saddle and harness
horses was one of the best ever wit
messed and the feature events fur
nished a lively competition for the
blue ribbons.
Allie Jones, of North Middletown
was very successful in the show ring
with his string of show horses and car
ried away four blue ties. In the fine
harness horse class he carried away
the premium for stallion two years old
and under three withIhis fine young sta
lion, Elector. while r. H. Boardman
was a close second with Half Blaze.
The ring for the best stallion one year
and under two, brought out several en-
tries. Matlack q Shropshire, of Win
chester, landed the blue tie with Fair
Acre. Lee Craven, of Little Rock,
took the second premium with his hand
some young stallion, Inland Chief.
The saddle class occupied a promi-
nent part in the afternoons program
and although the entries were few the
stock exhibited was of the very highest
class. Allie Jones captured the feat
ure of this department with his Capina
over the prize show mare of Matlack
& Shropshire, Hazel Dawn. while in
the ring following Princess V. easily
