any draft breed, first to Robert Davisson of Chalmers; second to B. B. Miller of Mt. Ayr. The sweepstakes prize for the best draft colt 9 months or under, either sex, any sire or draft breed from Jasper, Newton, Benton or Pulaski counties, was a $32 Bet of harness offered by the Association. There were many who coveted this valuable prize and much interest was shown in the placing of the award, which fell to Robert Davisson of Chalmers on a pure bred Shire filly 4 months and 19 days old that weighed 860 pounds. This colt won $36 in prizes and cash at MonticelLo the 9th inst. which together with the $32 set of double harness, the $8 set of single harness and the $3 worth of alfalfa seed offered by C. P. Wright & Son won here, make a total of S7B in cash and prizes won within a / week’s time. A fair illustration of properly fitting a good animal for exhibiting. One year and under two—First to Granville Moody; second to Brooks Snedecker. Two and under three, first to Perry Marlatt; second to King Davis. One of the strong features of th« show was the mare class three years and over. Fourteen splendid animals were led out, and we doubt If $250 would buy the commonest one in the lot. Victor Burkland of Brook showed a very attractive dapple gray with considerable quality and closely approaching the ideal Percheron type, lacking somewhat in bone and finish but an outstanding quality overbalanced this slight defect in the judge’s estimation, and he placed her first. D. Leatherman of Wolcott carried away the second prize. A number of valuable animals, lacking flesh, quality, action, or some other slight defects were led away, in some cases by disappointed owners. Geldings any age—First to Perry Marlatt; second to N. Pumphrey. The Show concluded with two teams shown to wagons.—First to Victor Burkland; second to Valentine Shafer. A few things to consider: This was the first Show of what is Intended to be an annual affair. The weather for the most part was very unfavorable. The Show was given on short notice. Remember that every one cannot be entirely pleased with the Judge’s decisions, and that it is not the “has-beens” or “willbe’s” but the "izzers” that deserve the prizes. There was a total of 106 horses and 25 mules in the Show-

We were unable to get a complete list of awards in the special events, but give wnat we could get: In the baby show there were 14 entries of pretty babies. Mr. Madden put some strain on his life insurance policy and awarded first to the baby of Mrs- Clay Dewees'; second to Mrs. Fred Arnott. Tallest man—S. B. Snedeker, 6ft. 4 inches; $3 hat by G. E. Murray Co. Coming from longest distance— Mrs. Sam Pullins, Townsend, Mont.; Mrs- I. B. McCormick, Hageman, N. M. (The former is 1,600 miles, and the question of which is farthest is as yet undecided.) Oldest married couple—Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bull, 1848, aged 84 and 82, respectively. One dozen photographs by Parker. Friday Brook played the Wrens. Score 4 to 0 in favor of the latter.
