Had you noticed that there were q
number OF big races in the fair race
program in which the entrance was
limited to horses in Phillips County?
There are six of these county running
races, and the purse in most of them
is set at seventy-five dollars. This
means that there will be half dozen
races in which you are almost cer-
tain to know the majority of the en-
trants, and local horses are assured
of bringing home the bacon. The
fastest horse in the county has long
been a matter Of conjecture, but there
will be no question on the matter
after the Phillips County Fair which
is to be held September 5-6-7-S.
Besides the above races open to
the county. there will be five harness
races with purses totaling 1880 and
ten running races with purses rang
ing all the way from $500 to SIS.
which will be open to anyone who
wishes to enter. besides the ten.mile
automobile race, purse $780, entry
open to the world.
Don't expect that usual compliment
ary ticket. for there won't be such a
thing during the fair this year. and
you will save your time and that of
the management by refraining from
asking for one. Since no passes will
be printed, there will be none to give
away. The prizes and premiums Of
fered are sufficient to repay the ex-
iiibitor for taking part. SO no extra
dividends will be declared in the way
OF free tickets. All bills will be paid
in specie with no special discount
for comps.
Several communities have already
stated that they were nearly prepar-
ed to show their community exhibit.
and many OF the farmers unions and
communities believe that they have a
wonderful start toward winning the
big loving cup now on display which
goes to the best community exhibit;
Competition for the cup will be keen.
