QUICK TO MOVE.
New Attraction for Vis-
itors at the Fair.
An Invention Which VIII Enable
Young and Old to Enjoy Ride
on Speedy Racers.

Perhaps the most novel amusement
which will be found at the Midwinter Fair,
commencing this (St. Patrlck's day. morn
ing, is the new racecOurse.
There is no possibility of pulling" the
horses on this track or arranging Jobs"
The speedy animals may be ridden
by anybody. young or old. and the
invention, which emanated from the fer
tile mind of j. c. Holloway. is so ingeni-
Gus that after the horses leave the starting
post all control over their movements is
lost until the race is ended.
Then there are chariols drawn by horses
for children and others who are too timid
to mount the flying steeds.
1t is a pretty and interesting spectacle,
possessing all the excitement. spirit and
dash of a genuine horserace.
And the prices have been fixed on a scale
that is bound to make the enterprise a
great success. viz: For children 10 cents,
and for older people Is cents. These
prices Will admit the visitors TO the course
and entitle the holder of a ticket 10 one
ride.
The running horses are equipped with
regular saddles and stirrupS, just in the
same man Ger as if they we're real live ami
mails. and the chariO;s are lnxuronsly fur
nished and arranged so that six persons
can ride IN each chariot.

thence runs out 10 one side and winds
