THE FAIR rs OVER.

ting Quickly Over.

The Fair is Ended in a Blaze of Glory
for the Acknowledgements Trot-
ting Quickly Over.
The fair is over. The stakes have been
drawn, the tents, are down, the exhibits
have been taken away, and the stock has
disappeared. The gay, busy fair grounds
will be deserted after the army OF work
men have finally squared things up.
Whether or not the fair has been just
the financial success hoped for, cannot be
learned just yet. The receipts were not
as large as last year, but there are fewer
premiums to be paid out, and this may
balance up the accounts when the final
settlement is made.
The Fair Association has learned some
thing. The grounds are considerably re-
moved from the heart of the city, and it
cannot be popular until the trolley COM
pany gets it's cars down there. Then there
must be a decided breaking away from
the old ruts, and novelties must be intro
duced which will attract the people.
Good money will not be expended for the
cards of admission unless there is some
thing to see within the big enclosure.
Give the people novelties, interesting ex
hibits and they will appear upon the
grounds in great numbers.
The fair has been dragging along with
out making much and losing little, and
the strain has been very serious upon the
managers. There is but one thing to do.
Either make the fair great, booming
success, or give up the business. This
will require considerable expenditure of
money. 1t is probable that the fair will
result in a great success. If it fails then
the career of the Association will be at an
end.
The crowd Thursday was not as large
as the last day year since. There were
fewer people from outside the city and
county. The politicians even We're not
here, and as consequence there was no
big gathering at the east end of the grand
stand.
The trotting is all right 1t takes care
Of itself Yesterday it was exceptionally
fine, and while each class was finished in
straight heats, the finishes were close
and exciting. Good time was made, and
Granada" the handsome stallion of
MacFarland's sale stables, came within
half second of going into the list. 7. w.
Williams fast mare Princess" gave
"Granada" quite an argument down the
stretch, and made grand stand finish.
w. w. Fox brought out his "Bellman"
colt "Volman' and paced couple
of miles to beat the two-year-old track
record of 2.52. The handsome brown
baby goes very smoothly. and will make
something phenomenal if nothing hap
pens him. He went the first mile with
two breaks in 2.504, but Mr.. Fox was not
satisfied, and resolved to give the colt
another mile. This time he was assisted
a bit with a runner, and the game colt
never faltered, going strong and very
fast. The last quarter of the mile was
complete in 2.3S4. This makes remark
able mile over half mile track for the
clever two-year-old.
