The gifr Of bird song Is largely a mas

tender sentiment by which the affec-
ton Of the opposite sex may be at
tracted and retained. Indeed the birds
furnish no exception to the sweeping
assertion that Ills love that gives the
key Ia all earth's music" They sing
from love and happiness, says one;
from love and rivalry, another asserts;
while JOY and buoyaney of spirits are
said By third authority TO be answer
able for their music. That most OF the
species sing best in the spring is well
known. the motive that is responsible
for the general outpour OF song being q

The Chinese not only believein spirits.
but consider them endowed with all the
evil dispositions of men. When q man
is drowned they believe that his spirit
is spell-bound TO the water, unable to
leave IL until he has succeeded in drown
ing another man, whose spirit must
take his place. Having found such a
substitute, tho spirit ia liberated from
the spell and can depart to higher
spheres. That is why Chinese will
under no circumstances rescue a drown

restless spirit of his substitute. The re-
vengeful spirit would then leave the
water in order 70 follow and haunt the
rescuer. which 70 avoid the Chinese pre-
fers mover to go TO the rescue Of any body.

EyOr Made ON the state Fair Traok-An
Exciting Accident
The grand stand was very slow in
filling. The races were set for half past
one o'clock, but the people, forewarned
probably by experience of late starts,
did not begin toshow up until a quarter
past one o'clock. At a quarter to two
O'Clock the grand stand was only about
one-iourth full, with the seat holders
filing in slowly, while there were only
thirty buggies and carriages in the
quarter stretch. The spectators in the
stand began to increase rapidly after
the horses had been called, and ut the
height Of the races the stand was very
well filled.
The first serious accident OF the season
occurred during the 2:3S trot, when
jim Carr, the driver of the sorrel geld
ing, Vermont, broke his leg, and
Australia, W. Q. Baldwin's gray stallion,
was disabled.
The feature OF the day was the time,
2:lS9, made by,RaYen in the third heat
OF the 2'24 pace. 1t was the fastest
time ever made on the state fair
grounds.
Miss Myrtle Peek gave an excellent
exhibition Of fancy driving, riding and
leapinG, and was loudly applauded.

his injury he insisted on getting in the

heats. He won two of them, too, and
got first money, having already won the
first heat Of the race.
For the first time in its history the
State Fair Association this year put its
grounds under the control OF the chief
OF police, and regular members OF the
force were detailed every dav for duty
on the grounds. The result showed
tie " sdom OF this course. There nev-
er wa such an orderly fair.
Golddust is n splendid animal. After
travelling all night and yesterday morn
in the cars, from Fort Wayne, Ind, she
showed up on the track in fine form,
and won heat twenty-five minutes
after she was taken off the train. The
second heat was also won by her; in
the next three she got second place.
Dusty Bob's driver, Cowdrey, who
was declared distanced in the second
heat thought he was not treated fairly.
He claimed that he was well up in
front when Bob broke, and that he
could not possibly hold him down to
his gait. He asked to be allowed to
pace out the race, intending to claim no
money, but just to show what the horse
could do.
A protest was entered on the books
yesterday. In the second heat OF the
2:4O pace, Raven, black marc belong
ing to II. S. Stewart, OF Pittsburgh, came
in fifth, but won the three succeeding
heats. Dock Vernon, the ownerof Gold
dust, the winner OF the two first heats,
protested against giving first money to
Raven, claiming that the latter was dis
tanced in tho second heat and SHOULD
have been drawn. $50
A word about the press facilities y
would not be amiss. There were none.
The reporters were perched on ram
shackle structure, which shook in the
breeze and rocked from side to side
when anybody came up the steps. They
were away off from the judges stand,
and could not hear what those officials
said. They were compelled, after every
heat, to climb up to where the judges
sat enthroned, to get the time, the
order in which the animals came under
the wire, who was scratched and who
wasn't, what the starter said, ETC., etc.
