THE MINNEAPOLIS FAIR.

Closing Races of SGtMrttay-FYn0I APPEAR
| ance Of the PAGERS. .z g. 80
Yesterday. was the last day of the fair, but
it was not the great day, in many respects,
that it had been intended for. A good pro-
gramme for trotting had been arranged,
but even this did not draw out
a very large crowd. Those who did attend
the fair, however, had an opportunity to
examine the exhibits more carefully, and to
many the day was more satisfactory one
than their predecessors. Early in the after
noon the buildings we're comfortably filled,
but after haif-past 8 the number began to thin
out, and very soon thereafter the buildings
presented very lonesome appearance. The
machinery ceased to move, the water was
shut off from the miniature Minnehaha falls,
the cigar makers and other workmen took
off their aprons and went out to see the trot-
ting, and exhibitors began boxing their
goods for shipment home. 1t was satis-
factory day, however, and the fair may be set
down as success.
II THE PAGERS. ,5s
Col. King announced on Thursday that the
four great PAGERS would 60 again on Saturday
for special purse of $4,000, and sure enough
at $3.50 o'clock the judges called up the side
wheelers and three of them, Sleepy Tom,
with Steve Phillips behind him. Matte Hunter,
with Joe Rea behind her, and Rowdy Boy,
with Charles Forth behind him, appeared on
the track and were given positions in the
above order. Lucy did not put in an appear
ance, the pacing of Thursday and Friday put
ting her in not a very good condition. /
First heat-They were sent off to q good
start on the second score, with Tom in the
lead at the quarter post, which was reached in
81, Rowdy Boy was ahead, with Matte Hunter
second and Tom third; at the three-q quarter
post the horses were length apart with
Rowdy Boy in the lead, which he kept to the
wire, winning in 2:l6s4, with Matte Hunter
second and Tom third.
Second heat-They got away even and at the
quarter, which Rody Boy got in IS, Matte
Hunter was second, Tom third; at the half in
1909, the positions were unchanged. At the
three-quarter in 1:44, Tom was three lengths
behind, and up the stretch Rowdy Boy came
pacing like machine and passed the wire in
2:18I, with Matte Hunter second, Tom third.
Third heat-This heat was the same as the
two previous ones. Rowdy Boy was at his best
and had the track been in a good condition he
would have paced very fast. They all went
away even, but Rowdy Boy was ahead at the
quarter in "a; two lengths ahead at the half in
1909, with Matte Hunter and Tom about even
with each other. From the half Rowdy Boy
gradually left them and came under the wire
six lengths ahead in 2:lS11a. ~. .

DARBY vs.. TIME.

DARBY vs.. TIME
1t was expected that some very fast time
would be made in this race, but owing to the
poor track and the strong wind blowing down
the home stretch it was not made.
Darby was brought on the track amid ap-
plause, and Mace, mounting the sulky, sent
him around the track once and then called for
the running horse who was to accompany Oar
by in his race against his best time-2:l61a.
Tom Ryan, a we'll known runner owned by +.
H. Legg, was selected as the horse to accom-
pany the trotter.
First heat-The word was given as Mace
nodded for it. Darby made the half in 49, the
half in l ~ and the mile in 2:24M.
Second heat-Darby started off at good
pace, but when near the quarter broke badly,
and reached the post in So, the half in Ill.
the three-quarter in 1:46I, and the wire in
2:2214, beating his time in the previous heat by
two and quarter seconds.
Summary-Darby against time:
