There was quite goodly crowd in attendance
at the Fair Grounds on last Saturday afternoon
TO witness the races gotten up for that after
ternoon. The interest of the occasion, was, o.
course, eentered on the test between Lomass
ncy's Grey Eagle" and John Mccormick
BLACK Republican," for $500. The race was al
together a one.sided affair, the Eagle" winning
easily in three straight heats. Time 2:57, 500
and 2:5G.
A number of other trots were made. and dashes
by single animals. Necly's byron" made
a half mile in lis; Degen's "Mollie" two heats
in 2:3914 and 2424; Holmes bay horse three
heats in 2:4G1s, 247 and 247
Geo. Groves Capt jack won the 1926 trot at
Dexter Park on Thursday winning $3.50, Time
2:2914 2:29, 2:3l94 A number Of Ottawa sport

the grounds west Of tho city, again resulting in

however, was not present
| By the way, if, as there is good reason TO be
lieye, number OF base ball mines shall be pres
cnt at the County Fair this fall, should not
something be done to have regularly recog-
ni2ed Ottawa nine to meet them, and give some
OF them a trial at the game? Last year, If we
remember rightly, there was talk among our base
ballists of organizing nine for this season. for
the purpose Of winding up the season with q
base ball tournament after the manner of that at
Princeton last year. The Agricultural Societies
offering some inducements themselves. the bulk
OF the work is removed, and an energetic youth
who understands the necessities of Il modern

Rose Wood.

This evening at Dart Hall will be pre-
scented the charming piece 'Frou Frou."
with Miss Rose Wood in the leading role.
The piece is well mounted and the dramatic
personal first class throughout. We CHIP
the following as showing the sterling char
actef of the company and the manner in
which it is presented:
From the Bloomington Paragraph, Oct %.
Miss Rose Wood, with the Morrison
Dramatic Company, appeared at the Opera
House last evening and played to the best
house that has asse III bled 10 this city tor
some time, Ii is exceedingly difficult in
brief notice to do justice TO the different
persons who comprise the company. Ot
Miss Wood and MIR. Morrison, ii can truly
be said that their acting IS such as is very
rarely witnessed. 1t is sufficient to say
that the support could not have been bet
ter, Each one seemed to be peculiarly
adapted to his or her own particular part.
tbs first-class organization throughOut,re-
markahle in thatit is strong In every name,
| and it deserves the patronage OF our people.
Miss Wood may be assured. as regards
the quality of her audience of last evening,
| that it was remarkable one, being CON-
posed of the very best and appreciatiye
mem bers of our society-such an audience
is seldom drawn out. And in numbers it
was far beyond the ordinary Bloomington
audience.
Mr.. Morrison's effort to place upon
the Bloomington stage each year the best,
most artistic, andEsworthy entertainments
that is possible to secure, has already met
the kindest appreciation Of the Blooming
ton audience.
This evening the celebrated society play,
Frou FrOu, will be presented, This is one
of Miss Woods specialties 10 which there
are both fine acting and fine dressing
There is no doubt that another large and
fashionable audience will greet Miss Wood
to night, The story of her success last
evening will be sufficient.
