caught him by the rein, the horse stop
pink and watching his companions finish
the race AS he did not finish himself
he was distanced under the rules and SO
lost any share of the money. The race
was won handily by Salando, which evil
IDENTIFY had the speed a+,a., OF the party. The
winner could be picked from the start,
although Van Demon pushed Beatrice at
times. There was lots of sport in tho
pony race, the four bits of horse flesh
being ridden by four youngsters In the
first heat, the pony of W. l.. Miles, stopped
when half way round and his young
rider had . to resort to a vigorous use Of
tbs whip to make him finish at all. The
second heat was made exciting when
three of the ponies bolted into the stable
yard. Their riders got them back onEthe
track and finished the heat after some
difficulty. The summarizes:

THE BICYCLE RACES.
Between heats of the trotting there
were several good bixyule, races between
Maine riders, starting with two heats in
the mile novice, class A, to determine
who should compete in the finals. In
the first lot sent away were Edward
Hayes of Lewiston, Leroy A. Jones of
Turner, Arthur Russell of Auburn and
Gilbert Russell of Auburn. Jones came
in first, doing the mile in 2.391a; Arthur
Russell second, and Hayes third. Then
the next lot were sent away and of these
Ralph McCausland of Gardner was the
winner, F. o. Stearns of Norway second
and Edwin Vickery of Auburn, third.
The time was 2. 40.
The heat which should have been the
final was run so slow that the judges
called it off, and had it wheeled ovor
again. During this heat, three Of the six
riders got tumbles, one of them, Arthur
Russell of Auburn, requiring some
minutes to get his wind, and then find
ing the front wheel of his machine in the
shape of a figure 8.
STEARNS WON THE RACE
The half mile bicycle race, class A, best
two in three was contest open to the
state, and there were seven starters in
the first half mile heat, Frank A. Stearns,
Norway; e. L. Wellman, Lewiston, and
o. E. Moulton, Randolph, getting the
first three positions respectively. Stearns
easily won the second heat and the race.
THE ATTENDANCE
There were, perhaps 5000 people in the
fair grounds today. The grand stand
which is said to seat 5000, was half full
and there may have been 1000 others on
the grounds. That is a very good at
tendance for second day and nothing I'd
be ashamed Of The crowd was nothing
like that at Rigby on the second day,
however, except in the columns of the
journal. whose enthusiastic young men
had counted up 1900 people when the
paper went to press. To an outsider who
had watched the crowds, it looked as IT
thew had seen more than double.
There was an excellnt balloon ascension
dnring the races, and the aeronaut varied
the usual programme by sending down
small dog in small, red parachute.
The dairy display in the exhibition hall
is a good one, and if the butter tastes as
we'll as it looks, it must be first class.
Tomorrow there will be races in the
9. 40 and 2. 80 trotting classes, for foals of
1891 and running race, making four
events. There will be other attrac tions,
Including a balloon ascension. 1t
promises to be big day at successful
fair.
