and the number of exhibitors who have
already been registered we are going 10
have a bigger show by IS to 40 per cent
next week than ever before, said Sec
rotary w. NJ. Clark today. All things
upon which Judgment can be based this
far in advance tend 10 show that Secre-
tary Clark is probably right. II is now
mostly question OF good weather.
The very large number of exhibitors,
who have already entered exhibits,
among them being an unusual proper
ton of exhibitors who have never eN-
hiblted at the local fair before, indi-
Gates that the exhibits VIII surpass any
previous fair
Providing More Swine Pens.
Altho the association built two large
swine sheds that have $50 6XS pens and
will hold about -2O head. all OF these
pens and more have been engaged by
exhibitors. G.. F. Stansberry, superin-
tendent of the department, is making
I arrangements to have large tent
erected TO hold sixty more pens The
indications are that the swine division
viii be the largest in the history OF the
fair. one important reason is that there
is little, if any cholera in the herds OF
the county this year TO brighten ex-
hibitors away.
/ Many Cattle TO Be Shown.
I The cattle show is going TO be prob
ably another record breaker for num-
bers. II. G. Goecke. superintendent OF
the cattle division, expects $50 head.
judging by the number of entries that
were IN up TO Friday evening. The list
includes some notable herds and several
that were shown bit the state fair.
( The number of entries for the harness
races is so large that there is not nearly
enough room for all the horses In the
barns inside the fair grounds. The
association has made arrangements
with Plumb Bros for space for these
horses In their feed barn north of the
! fair grounds. Carpenters were put TO
work Friday building forty additional
I stalls in 1t for the trotters and PAGERS.
4 Entries Close Monday Night.

will be opened 1.-THE fair grounds Mon
/ day morning at o'clock to receive ex-
hibitors. The entries close at o'clock

here until Tuesday morning because OF
delays in transportation or for other
reasons. They will be allowed to com

Race Track in Good Shape.
The race track was put in condi
~ 70 81,
the entire day vas spent IN dragging
Gus effort the workmen succeeded in
overcoming the effect OF the recent
rains. and II was thought that the sun
today would dry the surface so that
the track would be in excellent shape
for the races next week.
Especial care sg being taken in pre-
pairing he track, as it is believed that
the meeting next week Will be one OF
the best ever held here, owing 10 the
large number Of entries and the fire
class OF the horses The entries have
come from all previous meetings. and
a number Of fast horses VIII meet in
races here next week for the first time
