The largest crowd that ever assem-
bled on the grounds of the Bourbon
County Agricultural Society to witness
the fourth day exhibit was present yes
'terday. Had it not been for the
threatening weather conditions the
crowds would have reohed a thousand
more than that which thronged the
grounds from the opening of the gates
at ten o'clock until the close in the af-
ternoon.
At intervals during the day a light
rain fell but it was not sufficient to
preclude the exhibition which was one
of the best that those who have at
tended the fair for many years have
witnessed.
The opening events of the day were
confined to the mule class and mot
since the reorganization of the fair
have there been seen better exhibits.
The sucking mule class was the cen
ter of the attraction in these particu-
lar rings. With the four premiums
attached to this ring there was a very
strong competition, resulting in w. F.
Sanders, of Millersburg, carrying off
the first prize with a handsome black
mule colt.
In the harness horse classes Messrs
Matlack & Shropshire, of Winchester,
Caywood & McCray Bros: of Winches-
ter, and E. X. Thomas, of Bourbon
were the most prominent contenders
The principal attraction of the after
noon was the cake walk, which was
announced to take place at $3.50
o'clock, and which was participated
in by six couples Messrs C. B. Nc
Shane, of Paris, George STICKY and
/ J. w. Balm, of Lexington, acted as
Judges, and their decisions met with
the approval of the large portion OF
the audience. During the time the
cake walk was in progress the stand
was crowded to it's utmost capacity
with the eager throngs that quit the
midway for this attraction. The first
prize was awarded to George and Anna
Thomas, of Paris, Brown and Brown
of st. Louis, second; and Bull Davis
and Carrie Flock, of Atlanta, Ga.
third Corbin Miller, of Paris, acted
as pilot.
The final award in the Babies

day, resulting when Nancy Carol
