ILLINOIS STATE FAIR SHOW. 



Awards on Renewal Exhibits. 



()„e of the peculiarities of the premi- 

 list of the Illinois State Fair, at 

 Snrin "field, is that it provides classes 

 for exactly the same exhibits on differ- 

 ent .lays. The reason is that the fair is 

 of .neater duration than the ordinary 

 flowrr show and the idea is to keep the 

 flower section fresh. The duplicate 

 (.jassi's in the second half of the list are 

 (iesiuiiated as renewals, but there is no 

 obli'~:ition on the part of any exhibitor 

 to eJiter in both, and it sometimes re- 

 sults in two exhibitors being able to 

 claim first prize for the same thing.
