1922 EXHIBIT
BY BREEDERS
is ASSURED
Success of County Show of
Pure Bred Stock Arouses
Enthusiasm Changes Dis
cussed Next Monday.
MANY RECEIVE AWARDS

of annual exhibits, or county fairs,
which will be held hereafter is def.
nitely assured, according to the senti-
ment of many Wayne county stock
breeders who are members of the
breeders association.
Full satisfaction with the results Of
the show was shown by all concerned,
with some surprise expressed occas-
ionally at the number of exhibits that
we're brought out in the less favored
classes
Expectation of a much larger num-
ber Of exhibits for next years show
was expressed by many of the breed
ers who pointed out the short time in
which this show had been worked up,
and the inadequate premiums in some
OF the classes.
With more generous prizes offered
for cattle particularly, it is thought
many more entries can be brought out
and 1t is known that there is much
meritorious stock in Wayne county
that was not shown, while there was
only one exhibitor from outside the
county at this show.
To Consider Changes
Changes looking to enlarging the
entries and provisions for the exhibits
and expeditions will be discussed at
a meeting of the breeders association
which has been called for Monday
night at the town hall of Centerville.
Plans for another show will be dis
cussed at this time. 1t is probable
that four day show will be arranged
next year.
An attendance of 5000 on Thursday
was estimated by those who visited
the grounds from Richmond that day.
Among Thursday visitors also was
Senator News party, which stopped
at the park on the way to Richmond
from Cambridge City. The senator
spent some time on the grounds view
ing the exhibits and meeting citizens
of the county.
Sell Stock on Ground.
A SOLICITOR was on the grounds
Thursday taking advantage of the err
thusiasm and of the advertising value
of the stock show to dispose of stock
in the association, and reported very
good luck in signing subscriptions.
1t is intended to erect permanent
buildings before next year, to house
all exhibits. the buildings being de-
signed for the peculiar conditions tu
be found in the grounds
The first plans of one large pavilion
with adjoining barns will probably
have to be abandoned and individual
buildings erected instead
Much interest was shown in the pie
club, the members pigs being exhib.
tied in competition for prizes an
nounced by the association, and addi
tional prizes offered by two of the
breed associations. and also being
entered in the classes provided foi
pigs three to six months of age, il
which they swept the show.
