HORSE SHOW

nUhDh oHVWs 49, J.
The fates and the weather have SEEM
cd to combine to thwart the intention
of the Cedar Valley Agricultural Socie-
ty to hold . Horse Show at this place
this fall. The days originally appoint
ed were wet and stormy, and the track
in such condition that it was impossi-
BILE to hold the show. It was then
postponed for two weeks, when, If pos
sible, the weather was more unfavora-
BILE than>before- An indefinite post
ponement was then agreed upon, and
it was supposed the show had been
abandoned for this season. But Messrs.
Wallace and Bradley, who had the
management, are not the men to be
beat by any such little drawbacks, and
they determined to have the show ut
all events. Accordingly, on Saturday
last, after giving few hours notice, a
horse show was held on the grounds OF
the CedaANalley Agricultural Society.
The grounds are situated about one
mile east of town near the junction OF
the Cedar Falls g. Minnesota Railroad.
The grounds were purchased by the So
ciety the present fall, and are to be fit
ted up and used permanently for the
uses of the society. The grounds con-
sist of twenty-one. and half acres OF
dry. level land, are Of easy access, and
we think are as well and conveniently
located as any that could be obtained.
Owing to the shortness of the notice
the attendance was mot large, al
though it was respectable" The en-
tries were fully up to the expectations
of those who had the management.
The following were made judges

All these teams were A No. l., and in
our opinion four better teams cannot be
found in the State. The first premium
was awarded to Mr.. Kinney, and the
second to Wallace q Vaudeville. The
other teams, particularly the matched
grays of Mr.. Hilferty, were much ad-
mired.~ u ~ lCg = = is is

Mr. Dumont's horse took the lead
from the start and kept it all the way
through the first mile, winning the first
heat easily. Hilferty's horse good
second. The second heat was but a
repetition of the first. Time 3:2s. es
Next came trotting gcldings and
mares. In this match four entries were
made, and the contest was close and
exciting one. On the first mile Brad
ley's horse took the lead, closely fol-
lowed by Kinney's horse. On the
second half mile Kinney's horse broke
and ran by Bradley, keeping the lead
to the score. On the last mile Kinney's
horse took the lead and kept it, win
ming the heat and race in 1921. There
being claim of unfair driving, &C., no
premium was awarded. On the start
for the second heat, Bradley accidental
ly caught the wheel of Wallace's sulky
and broke the wheel. Mr.. Sherwood
then withdrew his horse and gave his
sulky to Mr.. Wallace. Recapitulation:
