were the theme of general admiration
while her work as a taxidermlst chal-
lenges comparison with that of any
artist alike for is finish, its fidelity to
nature and the natural pose of the
subjects. Her paintings and other
art work is also of high standard.
Mrs. Hadley made her application as
she supposed in due form but for some
reason it was not regularly entered
and so not recognized as a candidate
for premium.
ON THE RACE TRACK.
The races yesterday were the best
of the fair meeting and good enough
for anybody's money.
The unfinished trotting race in the
2:32 class was finished in short order,
Joe Morland, who had already taken
the first and third heats, taking the
fourth heat and the race in 2:42, VIM.
Hill winning second money and John
ny P. third.
The half-mile heat race for two
year-old fillies and colts had three
starters and was won by March Wind
in two straight heats; time, 81 IL and
50.
The five-eighth mile heats, best two
in three, for three-year-Old colts or fill
lies, had four starters, Getalong, Nell
lie Lockwood, Mary Sue and Montpe-
lier, and was won by Getalong in the
very good time of Los IA and Los IL.
The special race for 81, 900 between
the PAGER, Wilcox, with record of
lie IA, and the trotter, Thornless,
record 2:1S IA, was a very spirited af-
fair for two heats. The PAGER drew the
pole, had little the best of the send
off, and came home with the trotter at
his sulky wheel in the fast time of
2:22 IL. The second heat was a repe-
tition of the first, and the game little
trotter pushed the fleet side-wheeler
all the way around but could not head
him. Time, 2:24. The third heat was
a tame affair, the trotting horse appar-
entity giving up the ghost after the
second heat, the PAGER coming home
in 2:19 1-2.
The PAGER U Bet and running mate
made an attempt to lower the 2:05 rec
ord. This he did not accomplish, but
he made three remarkable heats for
consecutive ones considering the
track, in fact, remarkable heats for
any track. Time, 2:13 -, 2:10, 2:11 81.
The LIGHT questions if three such
consecutive heats have ever been
shown on any track. Certainly never
in Texas.
The races closed with mile dash
between Probus, Frank Clapp,
Grover, Leman and Bankrupt, the
latter being hot favorite. The race
was for blood and no mistake. The
winner had work cut Oul for him from
the start, and after fearful struggle
all the way around, came home win
ner in the very fast time of 1:44 ID,
beating the mile record on three
quarter mile tracks. The PIG l-2 pac-
ing heat Of Wilcox was also phenOmi-
nal time. The yearling trOtting won
der of Mr.. Campbell, of Dallas, and
for which he has refused $500, was
also brought out and gave an exhibit
ton half mile. The first quarter was
made in 80 seconds, a 2:36 gait, but
he broke badly in the second quarter,
and completed his half in 1:24.
The fire works were fitting close
to the finest days sport ever enjoyed
in San Antonio. The spectacular
pieces representing the battle be-
tween the "Merrimac and the Mont
tor" and the Falls OfNiagara were eX-
good.
The rain last night has made the
removal of goods a very disagreeable
task. Exhibitors are busy getting
out their exhibits and shipping them,
and all is confusion and disOrganiza-
ton. The international exposition
closes with depleted treasury, solely
on account of unfavOrable weather,
and with the satisfaction on the part
of the management of having given
one of the best first exhibits ever pre-
sented in this country.
