In additionr Mr. -Breaux has gener ously arranged with the Times to print xooo copies of the address in pamphlet form at his expense for free distribution among the far mers of Southwest Louisiana. Mr. Breaux is surely proving a genuine interest in the progress of the far ming industry of this region." ' Some interesting races took place last Sunday on Cleophas Broussard's race course near town, and brought to town a great number of people of the adjoining towns. The prin cipal event was the race between Maud S., belonging to Mr. Octave Romero, of Iberia and Maud S., belonging to Mr. Adolphe Prejean, of Carencro, the Iberia horse win ning, the distance being 14 arces. In the afternoon the same horses ran io acres, resulting in t!e victory of Mr. Prejean's mare. Owing to the admission price being so cents the attendance was not very large. The admission price is usually 25 cents and a great many people re fused to pay more. Mr. Broussard, the proprietor of the- track, had nothing to do with the admission fee as he had rented the track to par ties from Iberia. Court Items.
