The BAzoo of yesterday afternoon
published seven and one-hslf columns
Of matter concerning the opening Of
the great Missouri State Fair. The
report covered every incident and ex-
hibit, except the three racing events,
the earliest Of which did not take
place until the afternoon was far adj
vanc;d.
The FIRST even. was the yearling
trot for a purse of 5000, the tavorite
horses being Silverscof, the property
of c. E. Westbrook, of Peabody,
Kansas and Fred p, owned by
Fred Pyle, Of Humboldt, Nebraska.
The other entries were Woodiight,
Griffith Gaunt, Elmons, and Lydi.
After a very b ,ppy address pertain
ing to the fair, which was made from
the starters stand by Mayor E. W.
Stevens, he rang the bell, and the
colts, after several Intellectual efforts,
got of in good shape. The first heat
was easily won by Fred P. The Sec
ond heat resulted in a victory for
SilverscoE, while the third heat and
race were won by Fred T.
In the butcher boys half mile dash,
best two in three, free for all,
there we're three entries. Joe
S,een, riding "Biily." won the fret
hea'. E. j. Smith, riding "Nelly,"
won the second heat. Nelly won last
heat an I race.
The gen'leman's roadster race was
an interesting affair. There were
seven starters: Ben H., w. A. Nc
Nu'ty; Kitsey, Ramsey & F.; Harry
H Ira Hiusdale Onward, Jr., E.
w. Stevens; Joe K, Charles Koock;
John d :, Joe Turner, all of Sedalia /;
and Uncle Bob, L. 4. Mentzer,
Green Ridge. The race was won BY
Mayor Stevens beautiful bay roadster.
The portly and popular official, wear
ing a jaunty jockey cap of many col
ors, and weighing about 25O, drove
his own horse ard won rounds of
pIaudits fram the grand stand.
A delightful and rather unexpect-
ed feature of the afternoon was the
fancy riding by Mis- Myrtle Peek on
her trained horse, "Boston." Mount
ed upon the noble steed, she rode
slowly down the quarter stretch and
as she approached the grand stand the
band played martial air.and the peo-
pie applauded. Miss Peek's exhibition
was one of the finest ever seen on
any track. "Boston's" glossy coat of
ebony shone with the sheen Of white
satin ribbons with which
he was beautifully appa-
relied. While the baud played,
the daring and accomplished eques-
trienne directed her horse through .
series of performances more difficult
and novel than are seen within any
circus arena. The spectators might
we'll have paraphrased 7. Buchanan
