Far western football receives no

Swedish Athletic association together

Bohlin and Zanders are star per-
formers, whose records compare ia
vorably with those OF the best anna

a rule. confined his running to the 400
and 500 meter races which correspond
with the American quarter and half
mile events. flanders sometimes COM

5000 to 5000 meters
Both of these athletes were named

GAINESVILLE Fair Dates Chosen.

The management of the GAINESVILLE
Fair association, which have chosen the
dates for the exhibition August 14-l7,
have arrangements perfected for the
best fair yet held on it's grounds. The
directors predict an exhibit of stock
which will eclipse that of last year,
when the fair had as good showing as
the state fair, and was far in the lead
of any other county fairs.
The cooperation of the various breed
ers' associations has been solicited, ano
working with the secretaries of these
organizations notable results have beer
accomplished.
Swine. sheep and horses will receive
more prominent places in the fair ex.
hibits this year than heretofore, anc
even now many entries in these classes
have been received. The machinery
exhibit will be considerably larger this
year. An auto show, an innovation
here, is another feature planned fol
this year.
Even now there are nearly sixty fast
horses being trained at the grounds,
and small city has grown up for theil
care. More are coming in daily and il
is expected that before long there viii
be seventy-five fast horses at the loca
grounds, the only ones which provide
both mile and half mile track.
There will be no midway, none of the
| old harem-scarem shows which made
up so large part Of the county fair il
days gone by. All shows must pass al
| impromptu board of censorship before
| they will be permitted on the grounds
| and while there will be many conces
sions and fun for all, the fair will b.
| clean from gate to gate.

The foregoing sales of carload lots
at auction shows that during a period
of Is years the Aberdeen-Angus have
made an average Of 96 cents per cwt.
| more than the HerefOrds and 81 cents
| more than the ShOrthOrns. These fig
ures obtained from such q practical
source and the following analyses are
significant:
Out of a total of 446 awards Aber-
deen-Angus won 40 firsts, 4S seconds
and 35 thirds; Herefords, 90 firsts, 68
seconds and 45 thirds; Shorthorns, %
firsts, 20 seconds and A thirds; Gallo
ways, 1 first, 4 seconds and 2 thirds;
mixed, 5 firsts, 2 seconds and thirds.
The interesting feature Of the Fat
Carload Lot Competition is to learn
how many prizes each breed won
where it's rivals were not represented.
We find that Aberdeen-Angus won 8
firsts, 5 seconds and thirds where no
HerefOrds, ShorthOrns, etc., were
shown. The Shorthorns won 10 firsts,
| 9 seconds and thirds where nc Aber-
deen-AnguS were shown. HerefordS
won u firsts, "a seconds and % thirds
where Aberdeen-Angus were absent.
By making the proper deductions from
the actual awards and only taking into
consideration the classes in which
Aberdeen-Angus competed with Here
fords or ShOrthorns or both or other
breeds, we find that the Aberdeen
| Angus won ~ firsts, AZ seconds and 30
thirds; Herefords, q firsts, Is seconds
and Is thirds; Shorthorns, firsts, IL
| seconds and Is thirds.
While deductions from the above
facts show clearly that Aberdeen An
bus is superior, as a climax it is only
necessary to add that out of Is pos
sible Grand Championships offered for
| best carload, Aberdeen-Angus have
won IL times, Herefords twice and
ShorthOrns once.

A review of the carcass competition

 Fortunately Little Rock has a Mayor who has a backbone and a cool head and so far the crowd have not been able to bamboozle him with all their pretended pa- triotic liberal idea gush and the
