TWO OUT OFTHREE.
That is the Way Our Boys Did up Clarks-
VILE.


Three games were played in Clarks-
vile last week and Hopkinsville won
two out of three, making seven out of
nine games won over Clarksville.
The first game was interesting from
start to finish, and only three scores
were made. Clarksville made one
run IN the seventh inning and Hop
kinsville made two in the eighth. All
the rest were goose eggs.
Fridays game was not so hard
fought and ten runs were made. Hop
kinsville had 6 and Clarksville 4, and
once more the locals triumphed.
Saturdays game was poor affair.
Two of the best men were out OF
the Hopkinsville team and the rest
were careless and Indifferent as the
crowd was very small. The Clarks-
villes won the game by score of 4
to 2.
The Nashville Maroons, who were
the first to defeat the Locals this sea-
son, will pay here Wednesday and

BIG BIKE RACES.
FINE REGULATION BICYCLE TRACK
BUILT SPECIALLY FOR BIKE RACES
And the Most Exciting Bicycle Exhhibf---
tions and Contests Erer Witnessed In this
Part of the State on the Program.

The bicycle races at the great Hop
kins County Fair to be held on the,
last four days in this month promises
to be one of the most exciting events
of the kind ever witnessed in West
ern Kentucky, owing to the fact that
the Fair company has at great ex-
pense constructed fine regulation
bicycle track 1.3 of mile long within
the enclosure of it's regular race track
which will be used exclusively for BIZ
cycling. Bicycle races are failure
on track that is used for horse
racing, from the fact that horse
track must be soft and is cut all to.
pieces by the horses hoofs, which is
not only dangerous to use for fast,
riding on wheels, but impossible to,
attain any considerable degree OF
speed, whereas, bicycle track should
be hard and absolutely smooth ON
its surface. Bicycling has attained
such importance and bicycle races.
under favorable conditions, afford
such exciting sp 1T that the Fair COM
pany, in keeping with its euterprising
policy and tremendous preparations,
this year, determined to give its pa
irons the finest thing in the way Of
bicycling, by building track on,
which the utmost result could be-
reached and which would attract
the crack riders from all over. tho
country. Being the only fair in Ken
lucky that can offer such induce
ments and the only fair having a
track on which the highest develop
ment of the cycling art is possible,
their fair will draw great crowds Of
lovers of cycling from everywhere.
The premiums are, like everything
this company offers, very LIBERAL.

An o.d Man Dies FROM Heat IN His Hay
Field.


CLARDY, Ky, Aug. H.-Mr. Jona-
than Cranor, who lives near the Hop
kins county line in Lantrip's precinct,
died of sun stroke early this morning.
He was cutting grass the evening be-
fore, and as the grass was hard to cut
he was driving unusually fast in order
to cut the grass clean. His team was
contrary and the weather hot. He
worried with his fretting team until
he fell from the machine prostrated
with heat. DR.. Nisbet, of st. Charles,
was summoned, but he was beyond
the reach of medical aid. Death
came, as above stated, early Satur-
day morning. He was about 60 years
of age and good citizen.
