There was considerable indignation
among the citizens of Martins Ferry yes
terday over the way the Bellaire fremen
acted in the proposed race that was to be
run on the Fair Grounds. In the first
place the prize was to be $50, which Mar
tins Ferry was willing TO run for, or in
fact they were willing to run for nothing TO
help the Labor Assembly out with their
demonstration. Bellaire claimed that they
would not run for less than so, which was
conceded them. Then about the time the
race was TO take place they made another
kick, claiming that they were 10 unreel and
attach the hose, which is entirely different
from the rules that they were to run by, as
1t was to be a race for speed, and it looked
like a square back down for Bellaire. Fol-
lowing Is copy OF the card from the COM
mittee received by the Martins Ferry fore
man:
'The race is to be for SEQ, distance 2S2
yards, hub TO hub, prize to go to company
coming In ahead, no hose to be unreeled;
no coupling to be made-a race for speed.
Your company will be expected TO take
part In the procession with cart.

committeeman"
