K. Dicky Boy was next, and Woodbury. was
outside with Gipsy. 1t was good trotting
race from the word go, with occasional skips
by Gipsy. Fox won easily, with Mr.. J0r-
dan not far behind. Dicky Bird broke at the
word in the second heat, and fell far behind.
Woodbury's horse was doing good trotting,
and she pulled up to Fox in a way that made
that gentleman shake out his reefs and hus-
tie. Alice E. broke on the last turn, but did
not gain by 1t. Dicky Boy saved his dis
tance by fine run at the end. In the third
heat there was some little scoring Ia the
hope Of getting Dicky Boy fair place. 1t
was not successful, however. Woodbury.
shut Fox out of the pole, but Milo was as
good as the other Fox horse, and Fox repeat
ed the same performance as In the other
race. He had an easy time passing Jordan,
but WoOdbury's mare was full Of fig BIT, and
the victory was not secure till the last leg.

WELLS DRIED UP.
No Rain During Days and Days OF
the ScoYchInO Heat

BLOOMINGTON, Ill, September 24.-The
effects of September heat in this county are
greatly visible. Grass is burning up and
some of the farmers are beginning to feed
the stock. The streams are nearly all dried
up. Such heat and drouth are not remem
bered by the Oldest inhabitants.
CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, September 24.-The ex-
treme heat and drouth In this county still
continues. According to the record kept at
the University of Illinois Agricultural De-
partment the rainfall during the last twelve
weeks has been but four and 44-10O inches.
From all sections Of the county complaints
are heard on account of the scarcity of
water. Live stock is suffering, and only
those farmers who are lucky enough to pos
sess deep tubular wells are able to water
their stock. In some localities one well fur
nishes water for the entire neighborho0d.
Flowing is out of the question until the
ground is soaked with heavy rain.
FREEPoRT, ILL.,, September 24-Creeks,
wells and cisterns are drying up In this sec
tion because of the lack of rain. The dry,
hot weather has literally burned up the pas
lures, and the farmers are compelled to feed
their stock.
