SO much to be seen within the gates
OF the fair yesterday that II would
ba almost impossible to enumerate
everything that pleased and every.
thing that attracted the thousands OF
visitors
The dog show. where scores OF the
finest bred CANNES ever exhibited in
this section of the country, attracted

OF unusual merit this year, and are as
