Between Ram der and Bay Dan the
race was close and exciting, and Single
! ton was expected to make better fig
ure than for some reason he was able to
do. The heats Of the three races just
enumerated were alternsted, and with
| the last one the exercises Of the day con-
cluded.
THURSDAY, THIRD DAY.
The forenoon Of this day was devoted
| to tbs formation Of committees and COM
| mittee work on most of the classes de-
voted to cattle, horses, swine and sheep.
In the afternoon, at the call for lady
equestrians, one little girl appeared on
the track, and did small job Of riding
very nicely, with neither company or
competitor.
The first race announced was for the
$3.50 offered by the Society to the fastest
tro ting gelding or mare; mile heats, 3
in 5. The entries consisted of the Iowa
City horse, Dan Webster; Bonnie Doom,
little sorrel mare owned in Mschan.
icsvile by Hoag l. Tripp; and Laura
Keene, from Sigourney. Dan had it all
his own way, although Bonnie Doom
made noble struggle drawing such
| heavy load, and won the race in three
straight heats. Time, 2:42; 2:49; 2:43.
The pacing race which followed was
as tame as its predecessor. Berry L.
Parsons brown mare Lucy Lee and
Hoidernan's little John Graham were
the entries. The mare had a soft
thing" and after giving Johnny the
first heat in 800, took the required three
heats consecutiveiy in 2:55, 1907 and Bill.
The premium for fastest trotting four
year olds was next contended for. This
made made splendid race, one of the
best of the Fair. Three promising colts
! by Bashaw Jr. were the competitors,
viz: John Morrissey, Sexton and Cham
| pion Grey. Between the last two named
there was little to choose, both working
handsomely and keeping % nearly to-
gether that they could have been Gov
J cred with the same blanket heat after
heat. The following is the summary:

FRIDAY, FOURTH AND LAST DAY.
In the forenoon of this day the re.
mainder of the horse and cattle classes
were passed upon, including herds of
cattle, Devons, Durhams and fat cattle,
and blooded and farm horses. One of
line, we venture to assert, was brought
about by VIM. Aldrich's premium offer
for best colts by his thoroughbred Lex
ington horse, Ansel. There were %

Re.olred, That the Life Memberships
in this Society be revoked, and that

no peculiar privileges of entry to the
grounds or otherwise.
1t was explained by the Chairman

bership, the Secretary was instructed to
