GINC AT THE STATE FAIR
Sport a Decided Improvement Over the
Two Preceding Days,
opHELIA ESTABLISHES A TRACK RECORD
travels the Mile in 2i10 "a Under
Rather Adverse circumstance
BILLY Paxton's Phcnom Shut
out by an Accident.

The races at the state fair yesterday were
a vast improvement on the two previous
days, and vast throngs which packed the
huge amphitheater and lined the track around
the northeast and northwest turns attested
to their delight in tumults of applause. Starter
Culbertson called the horses up promptly for
the first race at 2 o'clock, and got them
off grandly on the first trial. After this
there was not a single hitch In running off
the splendid card. Interspersing the races
was some fancy trick bicycle riding and an
Interesting performance by Mark NJ. Coad
astride his beautiful saddle horse. This animal
is a many gated fellow, and his stylish action
met with a warm reception at the hands Of
the admiring crowd.
The 2:16 pace was the race OF the afternoon.
1t was won in straight heats by j. D.. Cum
ningham's handsome little gray mare, Ophe-
liza, who made the record Of the new track
thus far I'm the second heat, when she reeled
off the mile without a skip in 2:16A. Phe-
nom, Billy PaXton's fast colt, was distanced
In the first heat by reason Of a breakage
In the horses hobbies. He was actlhg
finely and would undoubtedly have made a
different race out of 1t had it not been
for this unfortunate accident. The closing
race, a three-quarters and repeat, was a
spirited affair, Montell running out a field
of seven skates in elegant shape. The days
