The COUNTY FAIR RAcEs.-Say
what you will about the evils of
horse racing at county fairs, but we
have to acknowledge that "the ra-
ces" are the attractive feature of
these annual gatherings. We don't
like to admit it, but must. People of
every class and condition, sect and
sex will 60 further through rain and
mud to attend horse race, and go
more cheerfully too, than TO witness
any other scene or amusement.
The attendance at the county fair
races last week was as usual good.
We did not hear of man, woman or
child who went to the fair, leaving
the ground until the last trot was
trot. And just here we will say how
the three matches resulted:
The first match, on Thursday,
open to colts owned ia the county,
was for purses of s15, SO and So.
Entries-Houest Dick, Stranger and
Selim, the first named horse, owned
by S. j. Walker, Of Fennimore, win
ningin 1922 and 3:31.
A trotting match on Friday was
made up of horses owned in Grant
and adjoining counties-purses $50
and $40. The race was contested
by May Miller, Fennimore and
Sleepy David and won by May
Miller owned by N. B. Miller, of Bos-
cobel in 800 and 3:3.
The last race on this day-open to
all horses-was for purses of $50 and
$40. Entries, Northhawk, Buck
shot, Fennimore and May Miller.
The judges decided May Miller the
winner. There were four heats, won
as follows on time: First heat by
May Miller in 81. Second by
Northhawk in 81 Third and fourth
by Buckshotin 3:5 and 3:S There
was much dissatisfaction at the de-
oision of the judges on the race, the
general verdict of those witnessing
the race being that Buckshot, owned
by G. D. Shrader of Lancaster, was
fairly the winner,
