people assembled at Cumberland
Park, Nashville, Tuesday TO witness
the fair and races. The agricultural
display was limited as TO quantity,
bot of the finest quality. The races
we've excellent; the record breaking
which began the frs day was kept
up, and the great race between Hal
Pointer and Guy surpassed the
hig hc st expectation.
In the display of jacks Maury
County was to the front as usual.
Taxpayer, the splendid animal If
Harlan BroE., took the premium i'll
the finest ring of jacks ever assem-
bIei in Southern ring, perhaps. 1t
was open to jacks of all ages and
rom any where, and the owners OF
Taxpayer, therefore, are especially to
De congratulated. w. l.. and J. l..
Jones, Of Columbia also, were there
with their famous animals Day Star,
which took the premium at our Fair,
and Star No. l.
The great event of the day was the
one mile dash between Hal Pointer
and Guy, The gray ghost" The pct
ting was to | in favor Of Pointer.
The two famous eide whet ler's went
neck and neck to the turu hut at this
point Pointer shot ahead AMI the day
light constantly increased between
them. The quarter pole was passed
in ~ seconds, with Pointer leading
by length; the half was reached in
:02ss with Guy lengths behind she
third quarter WAS covered in 3O34 Sec
onds ana Guy not in it any more.
The race was finished n 2:04l2 aud
Pointer lengths in front, and lower
ing his own record 81 of a second.
With competitor or running
mate, it is probable that the great
geldiHg would have gone under 2:04,
thus lowering, not only his own, but
the worlds record.
The unfinished 2:15 trot, in which
Fred S. had won heat on the previ-
Gus day, was captured by Belle Archer
in straight heats.
