like breaking sticks" The real
argument was for second money.
Three of the starters were about the
same quality aud it was horse race
between them as to which should
chase Billy to the wire. Eastwood

in hailing distance OF the winner.
The 800 pace was soft thing 1or

A Large and Enthusiastic Attendance
Witness Some First Class Horse
Races from the Grand stand.

The attendance a. the Fair Thurs
day was larger than on the day pre-
viOus. The grand stand was well
filled, with a large number OF ladies
in the audience. The program Tor
the afternoons ENTERTAINMENT was All
attractive one, and everyday seemed
to thoroughly enjoy the sport on the
race cours- Two races were uutin-
ished from yesterday, and as there
were tour races scheduled on the

unfinished 2:35 trot, in which Pro-
lection had Two heats and Mudrona

fast but erratic stallion, and Lady of

The 2:24 pace, which was post
poned from yesterday, was a gen.
uine horse race, and no little money
changed hands Oh the result. Before
the race, Bob Taylor was favorite
over the field. Engineer, the dapple
gray stallion that defeated Hal
Pointer in his first start, WAS looked
upon as dangerous, while the others
were faucied by but few. The flu
| ishes in each heat were close, and the
| time was the best ever made over the
track. Engineer, assisted IN the la-t
heat by Steel Prince, finally secured
I first money. In the second heat, the
track record of 2:20, made by Rock

pools Catherine ruled first choice, as
she won a very creditable race at
Murfreesboro last week. The "knOw-

two heats were alike, EgremOnt win

secured the place as easily as the

After this heat Marshall COunty's

The Spanish beauties are escorted

the close of the performance to see their
