They have been anxious to exhibit at, soma point in this great section where their stock could be seen and inspected by thou- sands, but until this year when the H first annual Colorado Interstate Fair and Exposition will be held in Den- var the second week in September there has been no such exhibition place. That the breeders appreciate the magnitude and the importance of this exhibition is shown by the number of requests for premium lists., and entries, being received by every mail by MY. G. C. Fuller, of Denver, acting -secretary of the fair. H The show offers a most liberal list of prizes, the amount aggregating up wards' of $25,000, half of which is di- trlbutcd in the live stock depart- ironts. They are up to dato in every way, even to issuing a catalogue of the oxhibits in the horse and cattle departments, in which entries close August is, and in all other depart monts $ot 5. Tlie poultry depatt- ment, by the way, will be remarkably large with -cash premiums of $2,420 H offered. Mr. Harry Petric, general stipcrin- H temlent, writes that the new buildings are mpidly nearing completion, and H that nil exhibits will be cared for sys- tenmtically, with every care oxer- cued for the comfort and safety of H stock.
