PERRYVILLE FAIR

Perryville is in Boyle County, Ky.
nine miles west of Danville in a
beautiful Blue Grass farming coun-
try. At this Fair my winnings were.
Gladys, one first, two seconds and
one third; Nerda, one first for best
saddle mare four years old and over.
While at this Fair | purchased
( Sara Cathern," her registered name
No. li410. she goes by the name of
Lucille or the Miller Mare" owned
by Edmund b. Miller, of Salvisa, Ky.
/ This wonderful five gated mare has
never been beaten in the show ring
either last year or this year to date.
At Harrodsburg, Springfield and Per
ryvillc she won the same premiums.
being first for best gated mare, stall
lion or gelding, any age, and first
for sweepstake gated saddle mare,
stallion or gelding. At Perryville
she also won first for the best COM
bined five gated horses. l bought
her before the sweepstake saddle
ring and Mr.. Miller kindly consented
to ride her for me. She won it
hands down and this graduated her
at this Fair.
Lucille is a six year old very dark
dappled Chestnut sorrel and is well
known all over Kentucky as one of
the finest mares in the State After
purchasing Lucille | then owned
three beautiful saddle mares and of
course entered them in the best sta
BILE of three horses owned by one
man and won first, there being
three entries in this ring.
When it became known that T. w.
Minton, of Barbourville. Ky, had
bought Lucille. many of the best
horsemen of Kentucky came to me
and said they were glad had bought
her so she would be kept in the
State and that it was too bad that
so many of Kentucky's finest horses
were bought by people from the
north and east and taken from the
State and never heard of again here.
They also wanted to know about
| Barbourville, and | told them that
is a college town of about 5000 peo-
pie, having Union College, with a
modern gymnasium, the Baptist In
stitute, large up to date brick fac
tory, two planning mills, laundry, ice
cream factory, ice plant, water
works, electric light, natural gas
fine nine hole golf links.
and 4 factory that manufactures au-
to and vehicle spokes and rims of
hickory, also that there were more
golf shafts manufactured in Bar
bourville than any other place in
the world. | mentioned the number
of good churches and the high class
of citizenship we find here. l did
not forget our famous Fox Hound
Association in naming advantages
of our town and our "Aero Club"
| took pleasure in naming a num-
ber of our best citizens and their
good work among us. | also told
them that we have better streets
than any town in Central Kentucky
and it they came to Barbourville We
would prove this statement.
Barbourville is being put on the
map on account of these beautiful
saddle horses and today there is
more enthusiasm shown over this
type OF horse than ever before, and
there are fewer to be found than
ever in the history of the country.
Lucille is entered i'm Show No. 3. the

Der 18Th, being nominated July 1st
| for this show. Gladys and Verda
will be entered in their respective
classes September 5th. These horses
