biggest struggle will be between the
crack teams of the University of Ar
kansas n the University Of Louisiana.
These universities matched their foot
ball champions On the Louisiana State
Fair gridiron last year, and the game
proved one of the most interesting fea-
lures of the Fair. A great. thTong of
spectators, including hundreds Of stu
dents and ex-students of the respective
institutions represented on the battle
ground, was in attendance. This year
1t is expected to prove ever more ex.
citing.
The other game will be between the
Louisiana Industrial Institute Of Rus /,
ton and another college. As yet The
other party to tho game has not been
positively selected.
Owing to the football games falling
on School and College Day, and a great

pected that November Z will prove one

EXHIBIT OF FINE SWINE.
Fifteen Hundred Dollars in Premium,
In This State Fair Department.

Fifteen hundred dollars have beer
appropriated for premiums in the gen.
era swine department at the Louisiana
state Fair this year. In addition To
TINS liberal offer, the management OF
the fair has provided splendid exhibit,
accommodations, and there is every in
dicat1on that h swine display will be
among the most popular at the Louis
ian exposition this year
One of the most interesting features
In connection with his division, is the
fact that the competition will be open
to the world. No matter where the
swine are from, they may compete for
the prizes, which win be distributed
among the different breeds.
Owing to the rapid strides Louisiana
armer have made lately in the rails
ing OF fine hogs, many products Of this
state are expected. And judging by
the showing made last year, some OF
the Louisiana product will capture
some of the main prizes.
There won't be any special prizes
this year for swine, but the amoun al
lowed for general exhibits will no doubt
draw a large collection. Even if they
lose the premiums, the exhibits will
have the opportunity of learning some
th1ng about the breeds of other ex-
hlbitors, and, also a market for some
~ lHe pTouuCLS may De realized.
In order to give all the conveniences,
the management of the Fair has<pro-
vided a modern concrete barn, built es-
pecially for exhibiting swine. There are
240 pens. Water connection is made
with them all, SO they may be flushed
Ind kept thoroughly clean and SAM
tary.
F. S. Hamilton. Of Townsville, La, is
the superintendent. He held the same
office satisfactorily last year. N. II.
Gentry Of Sedalia, Mo-, is judge.
Upon application State Fair Secre-
tary L. N. Brueggerhoff. Shreveport,
