FAIR A SUCCESS
IN SPITE OF THE RAIN
Great Show of Horses, Mules, Cat
tie, Sheep and Hogs. Floral Hall
and Poultry House Filled.

Rain, which fell in torrents most
all of Wednesday came pretty near
knocking out the fair the first day,
but the exhibition went on, notwith-
standing and large portion of the
program for that day was shown.
The rest was carried over until
Thursday, and all but four rings were
disposed of. They will be a starter
for this mornings program, and as
they include the big 5000 saddle
stake, a great crowd should witness
them. The program for today is par
ticularly good. Mostly saddle and
harness horses will be shown and as
they excite more interest than any
other rings. everybody in this section
who can will be on hand to see them.
The ring is in perfect condition after
the hard rain and there is no such
thing as the pestiferous dust to be
seen. The grounds present a pretty
picture with the green sward, the
pretty lake and the dozens of tents,
etc. The fair is a delightful place to
spend the day and if the weather
is as good as it now promises to be,
a record-breaking crowd will witness
the program of the third and last
day. The management feels to con-
graduate itself on getting the high
class judges it was able to secure.
Messrs. John Dolan, James Gay,
Thomas F. Curtis. A. d. Leavell,
James N. Denny, H. A. Pickett and
others belong to a class that it is ex-
ceedingly hard to find, to say nothing
of excelling. The show stock is good
both in quality and quantity. There
are fully hundred show horses, lots
of mules, cattle, sheep, hogs, etc.
