put up on this race, but were all declared
OF. This ended the programme for the

A very good crowd was in attendance,
especially in the afternoon. There is
GOOD DEAL OF DUST
in going to and from the grounds, which
are q quarter of mile from Higginsville,
but there is very little annoy ncc from this
source on the ground.
The display in the floral and other halls
is not vet completed, but will, doubtless, be
very fine.
A couple of small paintings in the floral
hall attract great deal OF attention, and
they deserve it. One represents three
horses eating hay 1t is finely conceived
and we'll executed. The other picture
shows not only considerable knOwl-
edge of art, but pretty fancy. 1t repre-
sents the hands of two troubled lovers
passing q note over a fence, together with
2 little handful of flowers. Only the
hands, the flowers, the note and the top OF
the fence are seen. Both pictures are the
work Of Miss Susie Corder, a lady living
six miles north of Higginsville..
INTHE STOCK RING
VIM. H. Bruins, of Concordia, was kicked
bv a horse he was showing, and had the
breath knocked out Of him. He got hold
of this important commodity. however, in
ashort time, and was going about appar-
emily as well as ever.
The hotels of Higginsville are overflow
ing with visitors. The corners of to-day
have the greatest difficulty in securing
rooms.
About one hundred and twenty-iv
horses of all kinds are here, many Of thu
number being racers.
