In many Of the above races the prizes
offered by merchants were transferred
from program assignments, because the lat.
ter failed to fill.
In the evening of the Fourth Q grand
ball was ION" at Mason's opera house.
and large crowd was in attendance. A
few scattering rockets and candles, sent
up by private families and crowds Of
young people, closed the days exercises.
The second days celebration consisted
solely OF contests at the State Fair grounds.
The program which had been distrib-
uted during the week, announcing the
events has not been closely followed-as it
was with much difficulty that many OF
the races were filed. The judges were
Fred Parker, DR.. G. j. Hill and +. A.
Van Dusen, and The HERALD heartily
proclaims them fair and unprejudiced.
The manner in which the colored driver
OF Jack Lowe was ruled Off the track in
the "gentleman's driving race" evidenced
that fact.
Every race during the afternoon was
interesting, the attendance was good and
the track fair. Pools were rapidly sold
and so were any quantities OF very poor
lemonade ~ and unroasted peanuts.
The first race was quarter mile dash
participated in by five horses. II was
won by Jubulum in % seconds.
The half mile bicycle race was entered
by Peter Norby, Frank Swanson and T.
w. Moore. Norby won in 81.
The next race was one Of the most ex-
citing of the afternoon. It was called the
"gentlemen's driving race" probably be-
cause it was anything bat q gentleman's
driving race. w. II. Lille, Of Toppenish,
entered horse which he called Maud L.
lin this case the a." might have been
an "S."l; Mr.. Hall entered Potato, be-
yond all doubt the coming stallion OF the
Pacific coast, and sure winner for the
gentleman who loves him but little more,
even though he own him. than do null
titude OF admirers; s. j. Lowe entered
Jack Lowe, well known here as a fast
horse; Bay Frank, entered by Charles
Pond, OF Ellensburgh and Brother Hall,
who entered to fill the race, owned by
John Bartholet The start was pretty
one, save for 'palpable FOUL" as the
judges called it, on the part OF Jack Lowe.
He was ruled Off the track, although he
was second under the wire.l Two heats
sufficed to decide, Maud l.. winning both,
with Potato close second. Time, 8 :l6 !;
2:531s.
In the mile bicycle race the same par
Elephants entered as in the half mile race.
Swanson won in 3:l5.
Then came an Indian pony race, half
mile dash, which a youthful Siwash cap
tured in :55.
The free-for-all pace was the event OF
the day, because Sleepy Tom was in it
and in it TO win. Tom is all right yet,
even though seventeen long years do
hang heavily upon his goodly legs and
broad shoulders. Tom had only one con.
testant, supposedly very speedy ami
NAL, well known here, called Black
Prince, Of Ellensburgh. Sleepy Tom won
hands down. in two straight mile heats |;
the first being in 2 so and the second 10
