MARYsvILLE, Aug. 31.-C0mplaIntso over
most of the starts and in one or two in
stances over decisions at the finish con-
stiluted the chief interest in the third day
of The district fair to on-looKers. Some
spirited spuris at pool-buying were on at
times, but taking the day as whole the
betting was not up to the average. In the
pacing event the best time ever made on
this track was recorded in the second heat,
when Geraldine beat Brilliantine, the fa-
vorite, in close finish. In the third heat
Brilliantine was dstanced. having fallen
on the turn near the five-eIghths post, and
causing the spectators to conclude that she
was dead.
Later Investigations proved she had been
attacked with hemorrhage of the lungs.
After giving her every attention she was
brought to the stables, and it is very likely
she will be Withdrawn from the races in
which she was entered elsewhere. She
was considered by the best posted horse
men to be capable of going down to the
2:l0 mark when the game was sufficient TO
justify il. Never before on this track
were there so many sincere protestations
of sympathy for an unfortunate animal
1t was expected that she would prove
coast-record breaker. and local horsemen
were anxious TO have 1t to say that she
once went on this track.
To-day was bicyclists' day. Probably
this accounted for the increased attend
ance of young people. The ladies came
out in larger numbers. possibly to witness
the wheel races.
In the 2:40 trot Prince Daniels sold
favorte at $40, King of the Ring at SIS and
the field at 81. In the 2 :23 pace Brllian-
tine at first sold at $40, Geraldine So and
the field 50. but before the third heat
Brilliantine sold at $40. and the field at S.
In the yearling trot there was some
spirited betting. Theresa sold favorite at
$40 and Patti and Bertonia at S5 each.
The ladies' riding tournament will take
place on Saturday afternoon. Tomorrow
afternoon there will be five and quarter
miles bicycle race.

The first event called was the : ~

it was grand array of horse flesh. After
a little delay they got the word, then the
fun commenced. Gold Dust kept the
lead to three quarters pole, the Others

him Here, Black Nathan, Currier and
Mollie {. came up, all passing the leader
finishing in that position, but BLACK
Nathan was set set back fer repeated
br eaks, giving heat to Currier.
The second heat seemed sure for MoliC

The latter horse could only finish secon,
however.
In the fourth heat it was noticed Blao

The glories of Autumn foliage Is now
upon Us. The varigatel brightness of
trees is getting tritis past but it is still
gorgeous and the ground now bears a
thick carpet of yell)w and brown leaves.
Nowhere is foliage so beautiful under
the ripening process and the operations
OF the frosts as in New England. In other
parts of our country and in other coun-
tries there is not, we are told. the great
variety, the harmonious blending of
tnts and prevalence of bright fresh
colors that are foun1 here. Nothing en-
surpass the exceeding beauty of Main"
forest in its autumnal dress.

The State of Illinois is making a
record through its Democratic Cover
nor that is far from creditabe. Gov
ernor Altgeld of that state has granted
63 pardons and 80 communications in less
than seven months, making in all %
prison releases. No governor of Illinois
has ever before used the pardoning pow
er 50 recklessly. So much for Demo-
cratic ascendency. 1t is but fair to say
however that the better element of that
party do not sustain the governor they
nave pltced in power in these acts, but
n promised these things TO secure the
Vote of anarchists and is delivering rhe
