He has been keeping them for breeding purposes and not for show. His hogs were not pampered the last year for show. Has 5 brood sows, 15 head of pigs, and quite a number of others. 3627 (American Berkshire record), weighs 800 pounds. At the head of his herd is American Sovereign, No.
In the show for hogs had quite a head of English Berkshires. Carnine, and is exquisite, showing up most creditably the mammoth furniture house of A. Arment, 1007 South Main street, is as fine a lay out as was ever produced at any Fair, and charms hundreds of appreciative eyes. The elaborate display of furniture made by A. Trezise received several ribbons on her display, which was very fine. Trezise on her best half dozen button hole bouquets. Miss Hope Manser took the blue ribbon on her handsome hand bouquets, and Mrs. Rose & Moueller, of Wichita, had the largest display and took ten ribbons. The display in the Floral department was hardly as large as it might have been desired. We find it impossible to publish the awards today, but will give them in due time. The competition in this department was lively and created some feeling. Ambrose Rowe, of Oxford, had 57½ ears in his bushel of 70 pounds, and took first prize of $15. Albright's special bushel of corn premium. They did not expect to find the same prolificness way down in a border county. Strangers, in Kansas prospecting, visited our fair numerously and were almost knocked down with surprise at the hugeness of Cowley's productions. The magnificent exhibits in every department entranced all, and made an advertisement for our splendid county that will go thundering down the ages, a charm to thousands of easterners. The profusion of compliments and enthusiasm over the vast possibilities of old Cowley fell like rain.
Today finished the awarding of most of the premiums, and red and blue ribbons were decorating the exhibits in profusion, making everything in intelligent shape for the thousands of sight-seers.

Winfield was out in full force and the business houses were closed this afternoon from 12 to 5 o'clock. The Arkansas City crowd was followed by delegations from everywhere, a big majority of Cowley's population and a fine representation from every joining county. Their music is first class and one of the most acceptable sources of pleasure on the Fair Grounds today. The first reinforcement this morning came in at 8 o'clock from Arkansas City, six coaches, jammed full, and accompanied by the Buckskin Border Band, in their Noble Red man uniforms. The wealth to send him clear through should have been raised. Uncle Wesley Paris, with his street sprinkler, kept the dust down as far as the Santa Fe depot. Today was experienced the first terror-the dust, which a high breeze and the immense crowd stirred up in huge gobs that slapped a fellow in the face like hail stones. Prettier weather couldn't be asked for than has been given the Cowley County Fair & Driving Park Association for their grand exhibition this week. This is Winfield and Arkansas City Day at the Fair and decidedly the biggest day of all. Winfield Courier, Thursday, October 1, 1885. Shown in all Their Glory-Various Fairisms.
