The Fair and Race Meeting Close Under
Lowering Skies but in Good style


The threatened imclemency Of the
weather yesterday. kept many people
away from the fair, that otherwise would
have gone, but notwithstanding this, a
very fair attendance was at hand when
the racing program opened. The card
yesterday was an unusual long one and
full Of exciting events.
The first race on the program was the
free for all trot. and the following horses
appeared on the track: Higgins, Scioto
Girl; Carlson's Brino Trix and I. w.
Berry's, Roselle. The horses got away
the second score with Scioto Girl at the
polo, Brino Trix second and Roselle
third, at the very start Of the heat Sci
OTTO Girl forged ahead and lead all the
way to the wire. winning the fastest
heat ever travelled over the track in
2;22ls, with Trix well up and koselle a
bad third. After the time allowed for
cooling. the horses were brought out
for the second heat. the word Go" sent
them of in good style; at the quarter
Trix had the advantage by a length
from Scioto Girl; the half found them
on even terms, but rearing the three
quarter Trix broke badly and gave way
to the girl, who led into the stretch with
Trix two lengths behind but coming
hard. it looked to everyone like Scioto
Girls heat, but no, Trix with a pheno-
minal burst Of speed snatched the heat
by head just as the wire was passed in
2:23. with Roselle's position a better
third than in the first heat.
sTEEPLE CHASE.
This race was early announced to
sandwich the second and third heat Of
the trot. and at the completion Of the
heat, the following horses were at the
two mile post: Mrs. Ferdon's. Lord Miz-
pah; Mann's Buck; Beck's Chesapeake
and Fol Amour; Capt Stockwell's,
Plancus and Bullfinch. As is customary
with this race always the field got away
at the first break with Mizpah first. Bull
finch, Buck, Plancus, Fol Amour and
Chesapeake in the order named over the
first jump. but as is generally feared,
and seldom realized. Beck on Fol Amour
was thrown at the first jump and though
being hotly pursued by Chesapeake he
escaped most miracuously from being
trampled upon by his own horse, at the
second jump, the procession was the
same. aside from Fol Amour. who was
riderless. At this jump the stable mate
OF Fol Amour, Chesapeake, with Searle
up. took the wing instead OF the jump
proper. the jump was high one and
successfully made. but on hitting the
ground the horse lost his footing and
fell for minute or 90 it was feared the
rider was seriously hurt. but further in
vestigation showed only the loss Of
patches Of skin here and there and q
general broken up man. Not paying any
attention to the hard luck that had be.
fallen the Beck stable. the procession
continued in the order named to the las,
jump in the stretch. at this place with
the exception Of Lord Mizpsh, who was
being magnificently rode and we'll in the
lead by Walter Lindsay. the balance ol
the field went over in jump. the race
conceded to the Lord, the fight for place
was hot and resulted in the horses fin
ishing a. follows: Mizpah. Bullfinch
Buck and Plancus. Buck because Of hil
victory on Saturday was . hot favorits
in the pools. but Lord Mispsh who VA
selling very cheap made good interest or
the money Of those who had the cour
age to back him.
The tPotting race was again called and
the third hest resulted in an easy thing
for Brino Trix. who won in 222X, Sciot<
Girl second and Rosslle third.
In the fourth and last heat Brino wos
the race and first money with hand
