Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1858-09-18

The first prize a splendid sadie, bride and mar
tingale was awarded to Miss E. T. Kirby, Of
North Ridgeville, LOrain Co, for the greatest
skill shown in the management of the several
different horses which she rode.
The second prize, beautiful gold watch,
chain and pin,was given to Miss Lucy A Wight
man, of Cleveland.
Mrs. E. NJ. Bennett, of Upper sandusky, was
the winner of the third prize-a silver cup.
These ladies' had all distinguished themseIve
BY their grace, ease and skill in the saddle, and
had shown themselves perfect mistresses of the
art.
After the awards, the premium saddle and
bride were put on one of the best horses and
Mrs Kirby rode arOud the ring receiving the
cheers and congratulations of her friends upon
her success. We heard of no dissatisfaction
at the distribution Of the prizes, and pesume
that all eoncurred in the decision Of the Judges.
This trial being over with, the Iaees which
had been postponed from two to four O'Clock,
was the next thing upon the docket Of attention
and to the course we bent our way-arriying
in time to see some fast trotting on the hard
smooth track. There were to be two races, one
for pacing and the other for trotting horses,
but the latter was postponed until to-day. The
following is the report

A running quarter race was then run, but
with what result We do not know.
Leaving the race course We wended sur way
to the cars and left Sandusky to sink down int"
the dull routine Of ordinary life again. To-day
the strangers will all leave the scene Of the
Ninth Ohio State Fair, and the ''village" will
be itself again
INCIDENTS or The DAY.
Three female pickpOckets were arrested for
trying their hand at light fingered work, and
quite q rumber of the male gender met with
similar engagements.
Mrs. Miller, of Cleveland, had her pocket
picked of her purse, in which were about $40
and some papers, as she was stepping into the
cars last evening to return home. The rascal
worked adroitly to take the money from the
depth of her pocket.
The presentation Of the Broad sword 10 the
heaviest man on the grounds was made by Col.
Harris on Thursday afternoon. The recipient
was Mr. Luther Smith of West Liberty, a men,
Der of the State Board, and one who might in
time of war serve as good purpose in hiding
an army as did Jackson's cotton bales. The
sword was girt around his eorpulent body, and
few words addressed to him as he was invest
ed with the honor
We notice with pleasure that Keeler's Scales
took the first premium over Fairbanks. This
Is quite an event, as Fairbanks have out ruled
nearly everything else in the country.
We should have noticed yesterday magnif-
cent set of Furniture exhibited by VIM. Hart
of this city; consisting Of sofa, table and chairs
They are truly splendid specimens uf Cabinet
Ware.
We were glad to see so many contributions
for Cleveland, and especially in the Mechanical
department May oar Forest City ever sustain
her reputation as well as she has done at this
State Fair. ....
