favor of giving the largest horse show and celebration ever held in Rensselaer, as this year is expected to be the beginning of a new era for Rensselaer,

Indications are that a larger number of horses will -be sn exhibition than at any previous show and that the prizes will be larger than in-previous years. It is also expected to have an agricultural and poultry exhibit in connection with the show.

In justification of the reduction their representatives pleaded that the land is decreasing in value. Much of it can be purchased for 11 an acre, they said.
