GREAT LIVE
STOCK SHOW
AT co. FAIR
$4,000 Paid in Premiums
1872 Animals Exhibited
Good Attendance.


lie of the livestock on the Grant coun-
ty fair grounds last week is placed at
$135,000. $4,000 will be paid out in
premiums. The actual number of ami
mails in the exhibit was 1872, divided as
follows:
Cattle, 262 head; hogs, 800 head;
sheep, IS head; horses, IS head.
The horse show was especially
gratifying, being the best here in a
number of years.
Total figures on receipts are not
availible as yet. President Burlie
Dobson places the figure at $500.
Considering that Thursday was
failure on account of rain and with
but one day of actual attendance, this
is pretty good. The association will
pay out.
Both MeSSrS. DobSon and MorehouSe
speak highly of the out-of-town exhi-
tors. They proved to be a fine bunch
of fellows with excellent exhibits.
All indicated they would like to show
in Lancaster again.
