though it would be the proper thing
to have the exhibit on display on
Friday night, and hence the Berke-
ley county public is invited to at
tend at that time If they wish TO do
so. The old Casino building, which
was placed at the disposal of the
committee by Attorney A. c. MAIDEN

We wish to suggest to exhibitors
that although very little material
will be shown without a cover, it
would be well to bring something
along with which to coyer perishable
produce in case of an extremely
frosty night.
w print herewith again tire prem
ium list which includes the list OF
prizes with two exceptions only.
those being the $1,000 prize for the
