DAYS Races.

The Southern Kansas District Fair wa
continued yesterday as per program anc
nobody who attended had reason to regre
it, for it was certainly very interesting
day on the race track particularly.
The crowd was not very large; not neal
so large as the races merited. The track
was in reasonably good shape and
If no change occurs in th'
weather before noon today it viii
be in better shape than it has been in at
any time since the races commenced.
The program for today is an excellent
one and those who are in position TO
know say the races will be better than
they have been in any one day since the
tair commenced.
Mr.. McNair was the starter at yester-
days races, Colonel Loper having failed TO
arrive, owing to missing train.
The first race that took place was the
unfinished 3-ninute-class trot of Friday.
Two heats were run, Ashman coming in
ahead once and being placed ahead the
second time by reason of Watchword foul
| ing. The race was given to Ashnlan hav-
ing won one heat on Friday. The score
was as follows:

would take several more heats to decide
the race. 1t will be finished today

in the outcome of it. The score Of the |
