VIM. Harris, the rider of Lithesome, was
Thrown. Plttsbnrg was second at the
quarter, and the leaders came home In
that order, Hipponla being close third,
in 81. As soon as the pace slackened
trouble broke out between the riders,
and Harris hit Billy Hall, rider oil
Lucky Moses. The latter rider then
tried TO bit Harris, the crowd surged In,
officers interfered, and Lewis, rider OF
Minden, struck at Harris, but failed to
hit him. The row grew lively, and
Sheriff Franzheim made a couple
OF attempts to strike man
named Chance, of Washington, Pa,
who interfered consptcuously,i and
abused the Sheriff, The latter
failed to land, the crowd interposing.
Then Arch McNichols insisted on slug
cling some one, and was run oil the
track by officers after lively tussIe
and some disposition on the part OF the
crowd TO Interfere. All this time the
uproar was terrific, five hundred people
crowding into the track, and those IN
the grand stand joining in the grand
chorus of yells, shouts and profanity.
While the row was at its highest, Pitts
burg's rider made vigorous general
kick to the judges. Finally, order was
restored and the result announced.
Later Hall and Harris were both ar
rested, and the judges suspended Har-
ris, for the remainder OF the season.

The Balloon Uau.es Excitement.

About 4 O'clock yesterday afternoon
there was an exciting scene at the
Union Depot II was all caused by the
balloon coming down that way. 10 Is
safe to say that the depot yard was
never before so full of people, as they
were about packed. Down the empty,
fiappipg canvas came, and il looked like
il was going to fall on oneNof Baer's
drivers who was there in wagon. The
driver was badly scared, but he could
do nothing for the gang OF people.
Finally the balloon alighted on to- of
the freight depot. Men climbed u,
there and got 1t down.

Mistake.

A Child of Fred Lyth Takes Poison by
Mistake.
A daughter, aged about two years, Of
Fred. Lvth, a we'll known citizen Of
South Wood street, took poison about 6
o'clock last evening, the parents mis-
taking it for medicine. The child was
ill and was taking medicine. A rather
powerful poison, a solution for external
application, was on the mantel-
niece with the medicine. The
child became worse last evening,
and the mother, In her hurry aud
excitement gave a teaspOonful Of the
poison instead of the medicine. The
child got very sick, aud a South Side
physician was called. He found the
little one about dead. Remedies were
applied aud little girls life was saved.
Late last evening the child was better,
and there is little doubt but that she
will recover.

all that could have been desired. Iue s-
day, Wednesday and yesterday showed
a falling off from other years, the three
days being short in the order named,
and taking the admissions for the entire
week, they were probably 5000 or 5000
behind the average OF other years. This
is not at all Disappointing or discour-
aging, however, when the dull times of
the past twelve months are taken into
consideration, and the manage is
very we'll satisfied. 1t is too early to
strike a balan CO and tell just what the
net financial results are, but the Asso-
citation has certainly come out
OF the week S., 600 to the good, and
probably more. This puts the or
ganiZation in better shape than
were before. Last year it was out Of
debt for the first time since the Asso-
citation was organized, the receipts for
the week in that year paying OF the
last OF the old Indebtedness, and leaving
in the neigbborhood of ST, 500 cash on
hand. This money was all spent In re-
pairs and improvements, and in replac-
ing the building burned during the pres
ent summer. and thus the Association
practically went into the present Fair
with all its property paid for, but with
no cash on hand. What money it will
have after the expenses Of the past
week are settled up will likely not be
far from s., 900, and with this sum in
the treasury the corporation will be 10
easy financial circumstances, and can
afford TO give serious attention to some
much needed improvements, which
have been talked about for some
years past, but which the debt
awaiting payment prevented being
made. One of these improvements is
the widening Of the track, and leveing
it up. The course has long been recog-
nized as unsatisfactory, by horsemen,
and something ought TO be done before
the next Fair to make ii what it ought
to be. A new main building and othor
new buildings would also meet with
popular favor, and there are thousands
who hope, at no distant day, to see a
large and well equipped exposition
building, fitted with dust-proof cases
for the exhibition Of fine goods, lighted
with electricity, erected on the Fair
grounds and kept open in the evenings
during Fair week. The clouds Of dust
which permeate every part OF the pres
ent building makes it impossible to
show dry goods or furniture
of the better class at the Fair,
and this, OF course, detraets q
great deal from the completeness Of the
display. A well-equipped public COM
fort building, would also be a popular
thing. The Association Managers have
revolved these things and some others
in their minds, and a tangible and sat
iSfactorY result can not be much longer
deferred.

half Maggie led Morgan by a length,
Velvet third; George K fourth. AT
the third quarter Velvet and Maggie
c. were about neck and neck, but Vel

and came under the wire two lengths
ahead, Maggie second and Bay State
Morgan a very good third. Time

About half-psst three in the after
noon the exhibitors began to pack up,
preparatory TO leaving the grounds, and
soon after four the heavily laden wag-
ons began to leave the Fair for the vari-
Gus railroad stations. Sheep, swine,
poultry, feed and hay, and all manner
Of miscellaneous exhibits were thus
hauled away, while the droves Of cattle
we're also gotten under way later In the
day. BY five o'clock exhibitors in the
main building and the fakirs along the
Midway had commenced to pack up,
and the process of removal was con-
tinued until late last night 1t will be
resumed this morning, and by noon to-
day the Fair grounds will be nearly
deserted, except by some Of the horse
men.

The balloon ascension took place
about quarter past three, and was
equally successful with the others OF
the week. Nine. Deveau made the trip
alone, and must have reached an alti-
tude approximating 1000 feet. The
light breeze from the west carried the
balloon to the east side Of the river, and
Nine. Dsveau alighted on the beach
near the foot of TweDty-frst street. As
on previous days, there was large
crowd of people strung along South
Water street, from Twenty-fourth north
to the creek, TO watch the ascension.
The balloon was again decorated with
the big advertisement Of the Sterling
Medicine Co., manufacturers of Brent
fingers Sarsaparilla, aud when at its
greatest altitude several thousand col
ored circulars were thrown out.
