MARa5Nl LILLE, OeDIenlDer 0i.-ln8 fourth
day Of the fair shows an increased enthusi-
asm, and the attendance amounts to al
most crush. The Pavilion was thronged
10 its utmost capacity last night. and the
same tonight. The award of premiums
on the live stock will be made at the fair
grounds tomorrow evening, at which time
another parade will be held. The awards

increased crush is anticipated.
The attractions at the race-track to-
day were numerous and interesting
The long time occupied by the speed
exhibitions rendered it necessary to
again postpone the ladies' tournament
until tomorrow afternoon. The unfin-
ished race of yesterday was concluded
at noon to-day. Happy Jim took the lead
in the fourth heat and kept it to the finish,
ChevalIer close up and Clara G. and Solitaire
fifty yards in the rear. Time, 2:39. This
being the third heat for Happy Jim, gave
him the race and money.
The first race for the day was for the go
class, purse $500, in which but two of the
four entries appeared, Phallas and Reality
Pools sold at $50 to $40 in favor of Phallas.
Phallas took the lead from the start Reality
acted badly during the heat, making four
bad breaks in the circuit, which nearly cost
him his distance. Phallas passed under
the wire in 2:32. Before the start for the
second heat, a call was made byt hackers
tor a new driver. James Linden was sub
stituted for Larned, and the horses got off
to an even start. The change of drivers
made no difference in the conduct of Real
ity. She broke at all points in the track
and had the flag dropped in her face
Phallas winning the heat and money
Time, 2:29.
There were seven entries in the 4-year-
old class, viz Arthena, Lohengrin, Cubit,
Pasha, Wallace G., Sur Del and George
Wappel. Distance waived by agreement.
Lohengrin sold for $40 in the pools to $12
on Wallace G. and SO for the field. The
large field made it difficult to get a good
start. On heseventh attempt the horses
got off in struggling manner. Wallace
G. led to the half pole, where the favorite
overlook and passed him. A shout went
up from those having pools on the favorite,
but their joy was of short duration, for
Wallace c. came down the home stretch
with a fine burst of speed and carried
Lohengrin off his feet when thirty
yards off the string. Wallace G. passed
under the string amidst a burst of
applause, a length ahead of Lohen-
grin, Arthena third, Cubit fourth,
w upper lllIt dSllt SlAlu anu our DGl sew
enth. Time, 2:3S4. After the heat Lohen-
grin sold for SO to IS against the field.
Pete Williams was placed behind Lohen-
grin to drive the second heat, in place
of W. Slaughter, with the hope of improv-
ing the horses travelling qualities, he hav-
ing done good deal of skirmishing in the
first heat. A dozen attempts were made
before very Indifferent start was made.
Wallace G. led of, with Lohengrin well
up, but skipping and skiving worse than
ever AT the head of the backstretch the
right wheel of Cubits sulky gave way, and
let the driver and sulky down in a heap
against the horses heels. Woodward the
driver, hung on like grim death, and in
spite of Cubit's plunging and kicking,
headed him against the fence and
stopped him. Sur Del, who was first
behind Cubit, was stopped and let
horses were undisturbed by the accident.
and sped along to the half, where they were
well together, Wallace G. leading. Lohen-
grin did good deal of running, and in one
of his thoroughbred spurts passed Wallace
G. on the far turn. The latter trotted all the
way without a skip, and came in first,
Lohengrin a length in the rear, Arthena
third, Wappel fourth. Pasha fifth. Lohen-
grin was placed last for running and Cubit
and Sur Del were allowed to Withdraw.
The time of the heat was 2:36. Slaughter
resumed his seat behind Lohengrin fer the
third heat, but to little purpose, as the re-
suit soon demonstrated. The horses got
off to a fair start, Lohengrin began his
cavorting Immediately, and kept it up all
the way round; much to the chagrin of
those who placed frst money on him. At
the quarter Wappel surprised everybody by
fol- Tho IanA from Wallace n 10
it calamity to the farther turn, where he
went off his feet, and gave place to
Wallace G. The latter came along
at rafting pace, leaving the field
forty yards behind in bunch. He slowed
up at the distance stand and logged in an
easy winner in 1891, Pasha second, Arthena
third, Lohengrin fourth, Wapple fifth First
money was awarded to Wallace G., second
to Arthena, third to Lohengrin and fourth
to Pasha.
The third event was pacing, for a purse
of 500, in which Killarney, Prince, Mink,
Pocahontas and Shaker were starters. Xii
larney was considered so sure winner that
he was left out of the pools entirely, and
pools were sold on the others for place.
Prince was the favOrite at $50 to $l2 for
Shaker and IS for the field. After many
attempts at starting Killarney got off two
lengths in the rear of the other four, who
were on a line. Pocahontas took the lead
at the turn closely followed by Shaker, who
was leading Prince by length, Killarney
behind Mink at the quarter. Killarney
passed Mink, after which there was no
change in the relative positions, Pocahon-
tas winning the heat in 2:234 after an ex-
citing finish with Shaker, Killarney far
in the rear. The field now took an
upward tendency in the pools, rating
at $50 to $40 on Prince and IS on Shaker.
A good deal of tedious scoring was done
for the start For the second heat all got
off well together. Finally at the turn Kill
larney and Shaker collided, three contigu-
Gus spokes being taken from Killarneys
sulky wheel. Shaker pulled up and fell
far in the rear, but Killarney passed ahead
and overlook Prince, who was leading at
the turn. The horses were strung out for
long distance on the back stretch, and it
looked as though Shaker and Pocahontas
must be shut out. BY dint of little extra
running, however, they managed to get in
side. Charges and counter charges of foul
were freely INDUCED in by the drivers on
the conduct OF the race throughout. After
a long investigation the horses were placed
as follows: Killarney first, Prince second,
Mink third, Pocahontas fourth, Shaker
fifth. Time, 2:21. The horses got
off on the third trial for the third
heat. Killarney took the lead imme-
diately, and held his place with ease a
length ahead of Mink around the far turn.
Pochantas made a break on the back
stretch. and fell far in the rear He came
down the homestretch running under the
whip to save his distance, and barely got
inside the flag Killarney won the heat
easily in 2:2l9, Mink second, Prince third,
Shaker fourth, Pochantas distanced for
running. With Pochantas out, it was now
an even thing for second p lace among the
three remaining horses, and the pools sold
accordingly. a good start was had for the
fourth heat. Killarney took lead of a
length, and paced a waiting race for the
Others. They paced well together and
made strong race for second place nearly
home. Shaker, who was behind, broke
and ran into second place, length ahead
of Prince, Mink last. Shaker was placed
fourth for running Killarney won the
heat and race. Time DDS. Prince took
second, Mink third, Shaker fourth.
