CULTURAL ASSOCIATION.
Third Day.
ON TIE FAIR GROUND.


two amateurs. When both were ready
to start, they were under light and
easy canvas. The distance to be run
was fifty yards. The start was not a
good one, and one of the contestants
got off well before the other was aware
that the start was ego" This gave
rise to considerable dispute, because
the one who got off first got in easily.
The referee decided, however, that the
"go' was "gO."
ANOTHER FOOT RACE.
He who won, under the decision of
the referee, now offered to bet so that
he could beat the same person he had
| Just cOntended with. This bet was
accepted, the distance to be fifty yards,
as before. And the one who had come
| in second OH the first race, came in
| first on the second one.
STILL ANOTHER.
The winner of the last now offered
| to run any one, and appeared on the
| track with pouch well filled with
gold. A Spaniard, Jose PicO, at once
accepted to run him one hundred
yards for ten dollars side. The pre-
race proceeded, and the Spaniard won
by about two feet.
RUNAWAY.
Pending the races, there was a large
crowd on the track, and at this june
ture Lady Nance, a tive-mile running
mare, became unmanageble under her
rider, boy, and ran away on the
track. The crowd did not observe her
coming until she was quite near and,
of course, there was very disorderly
scattering. They stood not on the
order of their departure. The mare
dashed right through the crowd and,
fortunately, nobody was injured.
Many were the jokes cracked while
the runners were preparing for their
contests. Such eXclamatiOns as these
were heard on every hand: "NO throw
ing OffW 81 bet another dOllarw
"Send some one to turn them! "Get
off the track, or you'll all be run
overW [laughter], and the inquiry,
"Who sells pools?' The betting was
quite spirited, and considerable money
changed hands in small way.
THE WEATHER
Was not auspicious early in the morn
ing; the sky was overcast, but after
ward it cleared off and the suns rays
came out, tinging with golden hue all
they could reach that had just before
been dull like and sOmber.
