-TOday's Programme.

The attendance at the Tuscarora fair
yesterday was something enormous, and
the managers claimed that the crowd
was larger than on the two previous
days combined. And the show was as
much ahead of those given on the open
ing days as was the crowd.
The grand stand was packed all the
afternoon. The usual sparring match
while Prof. Eddy and Ali Ben Said
gave interesting exhibitions.
The cowboys again displayed their
skill in trick riding, and the attack
on the stage coach was varied a little,
the cowboys being allowed this time TO
defat the soldiers after CORY battle
The football game between the High
School team and the City eleven was a
stubborn contest from the start. II was
played under Rugby rules, and OF
course was very rough game, the
usual number of minor injuries being
received by the players. Victory
perched upon the banner of the High
School boys.
The competitive drill for the SIS gold
medal representing the championship
OF Utah, aroused The most intense in
tereSt The contestants were the Den
matters and the Nordens. Lieutenants
johnson and Steadman acting as
Judges. A list of the movements TO be
executed was arranged by the Judges.
The Denhalters appeared nervous and
unsteady, which was due to some eX-
tent no doubt to the hard work lust
done by them in their engagement with
the cowboys. The Nordens. on the
other hand, outclassed the DenhaIters
IN their soldier-like appearance and in
the percision of their movements gener-
ally. Some of the orders were executed
by them quite awkwardly, however,
and one OF the movements they did not
attempt to execute at all. The Denial
tiers. on the other hand, executed every
movement in some sort of fashion, and
for that reason the judges decided in
their favor. This was entirely contrary
10 the views of the great majority of
the spectators and created much dis
Satisfaction, but the officers from the
tort were qualified to decide and their
decision was doubtless the proper one.
Inc base ball game between the
Amor!nes and Captain Busby's picked
nine Tor cash prize of $50 was a hot
one. Inc enthusiasts were luminous in
their opinion that it was the best game
witnessed here for a couple of years.
Inc contest resulted in a victory for

- pAOy &c LdCSS lOIIIlSQ one OF the
most interesting features of the day.
There was a great field in the two mile
open and it was a magnificent contest
from the start. Weller justified the
predictions freely made by winning the
event and smashing the Utah record.
Gum came in second, with Jensen a
good third. Time-5:23 2-5.
In the half mile handicap. open. Hol-
gar Jensen, Frank Thatcher and Ham
1Iton Coffin started from the scratch.
Thatcher took the lead and set a. rat

unable to mead him. He won with Jen-
sen very close second and Coffin
third. Time-1:32.
There was no decrease in attendance
during the evening, although there
were no special features. The Midway
attractions were well patronized, while
many enjoyed boating and dancing.
The encampment closes today.
