STATE FAIR
Was Satisfactory to the Association.
Statement Not Yet Ready---An In
teresting Comparison in Receipts.

Secretary George Hook has not yet
completed the work of distributing
premium money, ETC., in connection
with the recent State Fair, and there
fore could not make statement when
he was called upon last night by Reg
lister reporter. A statement showing
receipts, expenditures and profits will
be made public during the early part
of the week.
You may say that the State Fair
was Vtsy satisfactory in every respect.
Considering the hard times and the
scarcity of money" said Mr.. Hook,
the attendance and the receipts ex-
ceeded the expectations of officials of
the Fair"
Mr.. Hook had a newspaper clipping
In his office containing a statement that
the receipts at the recent Ohio State
Fair, held in Columbus, closely approx
lmated 100000, but only exceeded the
expenses by $500. This was a poor
showing for Columbus. The associa-
ton at the Ohio capital has one hun
dred acres and splendid buildings. The
receipts at the Wheeling Fair will
reach about $4,000, or fully two
thirds as much as at the Ohio State
FAR This is a showing which speaks
volumes of praise for Secretary Hook
and those who are associated with
him.

A PERMIT
Granted to w. J. Colts for a Sidewalk
Around His Baker Street Property
Mr. Cots in Good Humor.

Mr.. w. j. Colts. whose fights with
the city have furnished food for dis
cussion for year past, was in very
good humor when he was seen by a
Register reporter yesterday. He delved
into the hidden recesses of an inside
coat pocket and brought out a regular
ly drawn up permit granting him the
right to construct an eight-foot board
sidewalk around his property at the
intersection of Baker and McColloch
streets. He will proceed to put down
the sidewalk this week.
What effect this matter will have
upon the condemnation proceedings is
not known. Reporters could not find
the clerk or any members of the Board
of Public Works last night. 1t was
stated that Mr. Colts fine in Police
Court has been RENTED, but this was
denied by Acting Mayor Chew, who is
the only person having authority in
the matter.
The city will have to secure ground
in some manner at the intersection of
the two streets named above. as with
a sidewalk and the w. & E. G. tracks
there will be no room left for a road
way.

All arrangements for the 75-mile
race between Miss May Allen, the Eng

Wellsburg, w. Va, have now been com
pleted. The nrst heat of % miles will
be ridden tomorrow evening. on tho
same track at the Island ball park: the
second on Tuesday and, the third on
Wednesday evening. The rider win
ming two out of the three heats will be
declared winner of the contest.
May Allen, the little woman who is
sued the challenge, has been a profess
sional rider for more than eight years,
holding the championship of the world
on the high wheel for a number of
years, and defeating such famous rid
ers as Helen Baldwin, frankie Nelson,
Mate Christopher and others. At the
time the first safety races were put on
at Madison Square Garden, New York.

send in her entry. An accident on the

Brown, who finished second.

one hundred crisp new dollar bills
wired so as to form a bouquet. Since
then the little English girl has been
steadily improving. At the great six
day race in Chicago last spring she fin
ished second to Lizzie Claw, who, in
that race, won the championship of
America from Title Anderson. CLAW
has since been lodging every race in
which Anderson was entered. At San
dusky last summer Anderson, who still
claimed the championship in spite Of
her defeat at Chicago. made a brag
that she could ride rings around Allen.
She was promptly given an Opportuni-
ty to prove her assertion and one
hour race was arranged for the purse
being 5000 a side and gate receipts
According to articles Of agreement An
derson was to gain a lap on Allen dur
ing the hours riding.
Allen got the money. Anderson
tried by hook and crook to gain the
lap on the little girl from England,
but she could not shake her. and to
cap the climax May beat Title across
the tape. Two weeks ago at Pittsburg
Allen finished in a dead heat with Claw
at the close of a six-day race. and beat
Claws time on an exhibition mile by
two seconds. thereby winning $25 hat.
The following week Allen and Claw
were to race at Grand Rapids, Mich,
When they arrived there 1t was discov-
cred that Anderson was also to race
there. Lizzie CLAW left town by the
next train. Not so Allen, who entered
the race against Anderson. "the terrible
Swede." and beat her by lap.The

On the Wheeling Base Ball Park-The Sale
Postponed.


Each day since the fall of the Coyles,
there have been additions to the legal
notices upon the gates at the Island
base ball park, until the patchwork of
official documents literally covers the
entrance Now there will be another,
if place can be found to tack up
a notice of adjournment of the sale of
the property.
The property was advertised for sale
before, and the sale postponed until
yesterday morning. The improve
ments, including vast amount of grad
ing, necessitated an outlay approx
mating $4,000 by the owner of last
years franchise. Yesterday morning
Constable Wilcox sucked a few lem
ons to get his voice in good condition,
in anticipation of sharp bidding for the
property, When he arrived on the
grounds, however, he did not find the
expected throng of bidders. The peo-
pie who were anxious to secure posses
sion of the park, we're conspicuous by
their absence, and the officer of the
law left the scene with a feeling akin
to disguest. The sale is again post
poned and the date has not yet been
fixed.
