The Middletown Fair.
A BIG ATTENDANCE THE
LAST DAY.

THE 2:24 RACE A DISAPPOINTMENT
MAY sPRAINs HER LEG IN THE
FIRST HEAT AND is WITHDRAWN
THE OTHER RACES.
Specially reported for the GAZETTE.
MIDDLETowN, Sept. 23.-To-day's
attendance was estimated at 5000,
and there were over one thousand
vehicles on the grounds. The in
terest attached to the "last day"
and the desire to witness Sherman
Morgan, May and Belle Oakley trot
in the 2:24 race were the reasons for
the large attendance.
To say that the large audience
was fully satisfied with the after
Moons proceedings, would be hardly
the truth. The 2:45 race was the
only one that proved of any interest,
and it was finished only when six
heats had been trotted. The 2:35
race was '.jockeyed" through, and
the 2:24 total failure, owing to the
fact that May sprained tendon in
her right fore leg during the first
heat, and became very lame. 1t is
not probable she will recover the
use of this leg in time to trot in the
races for which she is entered at the
Dover fair.
THE RACES.
About half-past one O'Clock the
2:45 race commenced, with the fol-
lowing starters: Alex. Maxwell's
Sleepy Dave, John Reay's Elwood
r., Metz, Lancewood, Clara Morgan
and Alice Addison. 1t was a fair
close and exciting contest, al
through, with no jockeying and eacf
driver doing his best to win. Lance
wood took the first heat, Clara Nor
gan the second, Alice Addison thu
third and fourth and Lancewood thu
fifth. This rendered still another
heat necessary, which was very
closely contested, Laucewood an(
Clara Morgan coming down thu
home stretch almost neck and necl
Lancewood's driver laid ON the whiI
with a vim and came under the wir,
on a dead run, only half length
ahead of Clara Morgan, which caused
many to think the heat would b.
given to the mare and thus make an
other heat necessary. The judges
however, thought differently ant
awarded the heat and the race t,

N OF FANNY n. NEWLIN.
WHEREAS, Fanny e. Newlin IL the
owner of fifteen small houses near Four

to their worn condition will probably
soon be taken down, and whereas the
ground where they stand is such as not to
allow good drainage from hydrants TO

houses can be easily and amply supplied
with water from five hydrants, and in
view of the unnecessary expense which
would attend the fixing or placing Of q
ferrule in each of said houses, therefore,
Be 1t ordained by the City Council OF
Wilmington.
Section l. That the fifteen houses of
Fanny Z. Newlin, standing near Four

and was greeted with applause every
lime she passed the grand stand. Amid
| a breathless interest the first heat was
trotted, and to the disgust OF the audi
ence May was easily beaten by Belle
Oakley. As already stated May famed
herself on this heat and had to be with
drawn. after which Belle Oakley and
Sherman Morgan trotted two heats, the
mare taking both of them with ease.
The summary was as follows:
Belle Oakley,
Sherman Morgan, 2
May, ar
In a a:24 race was really disgusting; it
was no better than that made in the
2:45 race, and the audience really felt as
though they had been completely sold.
The purse in this race was $4OO of
which Belle Oakley, received 5000
and Sherman Morgan 500. May was
not awarded anything.
FAIR NOTES.

tor Eli Salisbury, ex-Congressman

Reynolds, John w. Causey and VIM. r.

If the Association intends giving a fair
next year, it would be well to procure a
new time board for the judges stand.
The present miserable little arrange
ment will not hold figures large enough
to be distinguished readily across the
track. 1t would also be well for the
iudges to be a little consider ate and an
pounce the result of heats with more
promptness and in louder tone so that
people can hear.
The stock exhibits and the displays in
the la lies building were inspected by
large number of people, this morning.

The way she Money Goes.

There has been considerable complaint
among the Taxpayers of lie State because
of the great expense of State AMI county
governments and the inquiry is some
times made, '.whrre does the money go?"

discovered on top. bill sent u from
Jackson county tor keeping nonresident
INDECENT persons amounting to over $780,
On examination it was found that ten
persons had been cared fnr at different
times and for different periods OF time, but
in each case bill WAS rendered and audited
by the Jackson County Court, at tie a e
OF three dollars per day for each and every
day. It appears from the records that tht.
County Court of Jackson county. bas en-
tered Into Il contract Will, some person or
persons, to keep nonresident INDECENT per-
sons at the rate of three dollars PEI day.
and that the bills are sent to the Secretary
tunl of the State.
This, certainly, Is an eXorbitant price
TO pay for that kind of service. The best
hotels in the State would be glad to keep
them in first class style for IA much less
price. To draw it mild, we must call this
game of fraud and swirdc on the tax
payers of the State. We Ito not know
whether the Secretary of the State pro-
poses to allow this bill or not. but we shall
deem him reniss In his duty If he does not
cut down those prices more than one-haif.
This one item does not amount to very
great sum, but it sh ,ws a disposition to

the consciousness thrilled through his
frame with horror, that it was but plan
