declared the winner of the race.

The races on Saturday were not quite 30
largely attended as those on Friday, but
there was an immense crowd, and consid'
cradle interest was manifested. The first
race was at III o'clock, and was trottlng
match for green horses, mile and repeat,
for subscription purse of $65. The en-
tries were Cutler Colt, Niger Boy, Ben
and Nimble Jim. The first heat was won
by Niger Boy in $40, followed closely by
Nimble jim, Ben next, Cutler Colt last.
The second heat was also won by Niger
Boy in 3:5, Nimble Jim half a neck be-
hind, followed as before. The race was
given to Niger Boy.
At 2 o'clock the running match for
county horses, half mile and repeat, purse
of $50, came off. The entries were Queen
Victoria, May Flower, Grey Eagle and
Rose. The first heat was taken by Grey
Eagle in "a seconds, May Flower only half
a neck behind, followed by Victoria and
Rose. The second beat was also taken by
Grey Eagle in sc seconds, Rose not half a
length behind, May Flower next, Victoria
behind The race was given to Grey

At o'clock the great race between the
best horses in the State for purse of 5000.
came off This was running race, mile
heats, best in 5. The entries were Can
ada, by John j. Ross, Of Mineral Point,
Twenty Cents. by j. B. Cutting, of OAR
lington, and Kitty Stacey. The start, af-
ter some skirmishing, was good, and the
first half mile was as pretty a race as ever
we saw. Canada led about half neck most
of the way, but on making the home
stretch Kitty Stacey gained on him, ,and
when they passed the judges stand, first
half mile, she was halfa length ahead of
him. Twenty Cents was some distance
behind. They were going on at fearful
rate, when in rounding the corner, at the
south end of the track, Canada and Kitty
Stacey came into collision. Canada fell
and rolled completely over his rider. who
was up in an instant and caught the horse.
Kitty Stacey Stacked her pace the balance
Of the way, Twenty Cents rapidly gaining
on her and coming in first. Time 1855
The boy was found to be somewhat hurt,
i
bat not very seriously. Canada was slight
ly injured and was withdrawn. This was
quite damper to the enthusiasm of the
people, as many considered the test be-
tween Canada and the other two horses,
and so it proved. The next heat was won
by Twenty Cents, Kitty Stacey being sew
eral lengths behind. Time l:54. The last
heat was run without much interest being
felt, it being conceded that there was no
contest between the horses. Twenty Cents
took the heat as every one knew he would.
Time 2:l5.
Thus ended the last race and the last
of the 18th Fair of the Iowa County Ag-
rlcultural Society.
