THE FAIR.
coon SATURDAY---THREE SPLEEN
DID RACES.--THE BABY SHOW.
Close of a Good Weeks Entertain
ment---Wichita Shows Some
Good HOrSes---A Sue
Cessful Fair.

The fair and exposition closed SIX day
meeting last night, and while very ma
terially crippled by two days of ineessan'
rain and one of mud, the receipts were II
excess of the operating expenses. The
racing was very fine. Owing to the lack
of permanent buildings the displays in
any.departments, where articles OF a
perishable character would be exhibited,
were necessarily small in comparison with
what they might have been Some OF our
local institutions had excellent displays.
Perhaps the most elaborate was that OF
the Kansas Paint Manufacturing com
pany. comparatively new local lnstItu-
ton which is doing thriving business
and making a splendid line of goods.
The displays in the live stock, etc, were
very good indeed. This meeting has at
tracted more attention than did any other
one ever held in the state. The Horseman,
a leading turf journal of the country, sent
a very capable special correspondent, Mr..
Geo s. Ward who will inform, in regard
to this meeting, their readers in every state
and nine territories and in Canada
Last night nearly every exhibitor had
pulled out, the ma iority of the stock going
TO the Winfield fair which opens Tuesday,
and the Others to the Bismarck fair at
Lawrence this week.
2:24 TROT.
The first heat of this race was not
started until after several attempts. The
horses drew positions, Evermah, Faro, Or
lana, Kit Clover, Dan Ii. At the start
Faro broke and to the lead and kept to the
the u. with Dan II, Everman and Oriana
right after him. Around the upper turn
Oriana made rush and passed Faro, who
quit too hot pace, at the u. Oriana led
Dan II a length under the wire, winning
the heat Everman third, Faro fourth,
Kit Clover fifth. Time, 2:274.
They got away for the second heat. AT
the turn Faro led Dan II and took the
lead, Oriana second. At the I Dan IL
was second. On the back stretch Oriana
moved up to second at the 3. Around
the upper turn Oriana went to the front
and won with ease III 2:2715. Down the
home stretch Dan Ii came up and showed
a head in front of Faro for second: Ever
man fourth, Kit Clover distanced for rum
ming ana pacing
Third heat was more exciting than the
Others. Oriana led to the quarter, Faro
second On the back stretch and around
the upper turn these two aiternated for
first place. Everman pulled up on them
at the three-quarter and came in half
length ahead of Oriana. The judges set
Everman back for running to first place
and declared the heatas follows;
