FAIR SUCCESS SURE
GREAT CROWD TURNS OUT FOR
THURSDAYS FINE SHOW
Weather Is Delightful And Thousands
Come From Far And Near
Winners First Two Days

The Knights of Pythlas fair at
Stanford is a big success this year.
Notwithstanding the drizzle of We'd
nesday which kept the crowd down
to minimum, Thursday turned off
cool and clear as bell, and the peo-
pie came by the thousands. The
The amphitheatre was filled early
and after that they streamed all ov-
er the beautiful, shady grounds and
had a fine-old-fashioned time, meet
ing and greeting friends and loved
ones. Many who had not been back
to Lincoln county for a score or so of
years, came back to the fair this
week, making it a sort of home-com-
ing event, and all seemed to enjoy
themselves immensely, meeting old
friends and renewing acquaintance
of years gone by. Fridays weather
conditions would be hard to i'm
prove upon either, and it promises to
be a record-breaker in point of at
tendance.
Thursdays program was well
balanced one and enjoyed to the full
est by the big crowd. The feature
was the walking ring for mares, in
which about a dozen entries contest
ed. This was won by Deputy Inter
nal Revenue Collector Rowan Sauf-
ley with his cracking good black
mare. James B. Leavell, of Bry-
ants won the red tie with a mare
belonging to. B. F. Rankin. he COM

as follows:
Wednesdays program was a splen-
did one and Notwithstanding the in
suspicious start in the morning, quite
a number went out. The stock
show was very good, competition be-
ing very keen in many of the rings.
A great deal of interest is attaching
to the show of Red Berkshire hogs,
almost every breeder of this popular
strain having representatives here.
Wednesday was occupied with judg-
ing of herds and individuals. Some
splendid specimens of the porcine
family are on exhibition, and the hog
tent is quite center of attract
The colt rings are very good, the
stake being won by 7. A. Brent with
his slashing filly by Carroll Bailey's
Rowland Peavine and out of Bour-
bon King mare, taking the blue in
a field of nine entries, with Rowan
SaUfley's filly by Ashland Brook,
seccld. This filly had previously
won the blue in the sucking filly
ring, and is beauty.
Prof. J. ]. Hooper, head of the De-
partment of Animal Husbandry of
the Experiment Station at State
University, Lexington, came over es-
pecially TO judge the milk cow ring.
In this ring the milk is drawn from
the cow on the grounds, and is test

tents. Rowan Saufley won in this
