THE STATE FAIR RACES.
Agricultural Board Will Hang Up Over
$4,000 in Purses.

There are TO be some fast events at the
next State fair. The driving club is not
going to be allowed to monopoliZe all the
speedy racers by any manner of means.
The State Board Of Agriculture realizes
that as the fair follows the fall meeting of
the driving club so closely the racing pro-
gramme must be made as attractive as pos
sible in order TO allow of no invidious
comparisons between the two similar at
fractions. Much attention has been given
the racing card and it is one that the
board is well satisfied with. The purses
range from $500 to $500. and are large
enough, the members think, to secure big
fields in each event, and TO induce the
cracks to stop over here for part Of the
money on their way to convenient points
In the circuit. In fact. the board has as
surance that some of the flyers will enter
the fast events, and that, together with the
outside attractions, TO be arranged by the
committee of citizens recently appointed,
and the exceptional efforts at display eX-
pected on the part OF exhibitors, ii Is felt
will keep visitors here longer than ever be-
Hre. thus bringing about the result aimed
at by the board and the citizens commit
tee.
The first big event will be the 2:19 pace.
The purse in this class is $500 The free
fOr-all pace on Wednesday will call out the
fast ones. 1t is also for a purse of $500
Thursday is, OF course, the big day OF the
fair. and there are three eight hundred
dollar events that afternoon. "a free-fOr-all
trot, a 2:ll pace and 2:l7 trot. The entries
In these classes should be sufficiently nota-
ole to draw out thousands of people. The
star event OF Friday. the closing day Of the
fair. will be the 2:l3 trot for a purse Of
$3.50. The State board has hung up, in ALL
$500 in purses for the four days. and the

A NEW CHARITY WORK
EpiscOpalians to Build the Tuttle
Home for Orphans and Aged.
Ground Broken for an Sill. 500 Building
at Central Avenue and Seventh
Street-Funds on Hand.

The futile Home for the Aged People
and Orphans will soon be a reality, and the
efforts of those who have been untiring in
their endeavors 10 secure IL will soon be
crowned with success For some time past
the Episcopalians Of this city have been
working industriously to secure the home.
and now. while all the funds are not actual
ly in hand, there is sufficient TO warrant
the commencement of the work. The pro-
moters OF the object have not been dis
appointed by the smallness Of the results
of their labors, and, taking hope in the
consciousness that many mites make sue
cess have gone on gathering the mites and
small contributions which were carefully
boarded till the funds in hand warranted
the starting Of the project
The contributions have been received
from parishes, from Sunday schools and
from individuals, and the gradual accumu-
lations have at least reached 5000. With
this amount in hand the trustees felt as
sured of ultimate success. They sought
bids for the work and have let the con-
tract for the work, which is now in prog
ress. Already the cellar is being dug, and
in a few days work will begin upon the
masonry The lot upon which the building
to be dedicated to charitable purposes is
joins St. Mary's Hall at the corner of Gen.
trail avenue and Seventh street. The pur-
pose of the building is to furnish n home
for aged and orphan Episcopalians first,
and afterwards to all for whom there Is
room in the home. The home when COM
pleted will cost s11,5Oo. AS stated, the
bishop already has in hand $1,000 of this
amount, and, trusting in the charitable in
clination OF the Episcopalians, has decided
that the amount can all be raised by the
time the building is completed. The lot was
purchased last year at a cost of $500 and
is admirably situated for a building of this
character in q residence part of the city,
easy of access by electric cars
Bishop Knickerbacker has just returned
from a tour through the diocese, upon
which he has been administering the sacra-
ment of confirmation, and reports the
growth and activity throughout the diocese
TO be greater than that of any previous
year during his incumbency on last Tues
day afternoon he gave the benedictiOn to a
parish house at Carrot costing $1,000 He
has confirmed a class of thrty-seVen at st.
Pauls in this city, twenty-five at st. Paul
in Richmond. fifteen at Fort Wayne, two
at Garrett and a class of six at the Holy
Innocents Church on Fletcher avenue and
Cedar street last night.
