TRACK RECORD BROKEN.
The Finest Trotting Race Ever Seen
in Redwood Falls.

The track record was broken by the
horses in the 2:2O race on Friday,
when Dick Turpin knocked down the
record from 2:22 to 2:2O4. The race
was the only one on for the day, on
account of the other not having filled,
and the race will 60 down on record as
one of the prettiest trotting races ever
seen at county fair in Southwestern
Minnesota. There were only three
horses entered, Dick Turpin, Nestor
and Mankato, and every heat was full
of excitement, but the third heat pro-
duced the finest trotting and pacing.
Dick Turpin had won the two previ-
GUS heats, and on the start of the
third he was quickly passed, causing
him to leave his feet, and losing about
two rods before he got down again.
In order to win the third heat it was
necessary to recover this ground and
his driver jerks, saw his opportunity
on coming into the stretch on the first
half. A furlong from the grand stand
t ne three horses were punched nose to
nose, and in this position they passed
the judges stand around into the first
quarter stretch, when Dick Turpin
forged ahead. This picture caused
an endless amount of enthusiasm
and yelling, and the crowd kept it up

A GOOD GAME.
Redwood Wins the First Game From
Winthrop.

As fine game as was ever played
on the local diamond was played be-
tween the Redwood Falls team and
the visiting club, Winthrop, last
Thursday afternoon. The game was
not called until nearly four o'clock,
owing to the fact that there was mis-
understanding as to just who was 60
ing to play in the Redwood team, and
necessitating one or more substitutes,
but when it commenced there was an
indication of game for your life
game that held out to the finish. In
realty it was a pitchers battle and
Roy Murfn, the Redwood pitcher for
the time being, easily carried off the
honors. The young man sat his
best, cool up to the last, and with q
determination to win if possible. He
struck out fifteen men during the
game in which his side only retired q,
and he only allowed the Winthrop
sluggers to take four safe hits from
his bat, and one of the four was a
d ,ubtful quantity. Dahlquist for Win

CORN is KING.
MAGNIFICENT Exhibits In AgriCuItu-
raj Building.

aCorn is King" is an old motto
brought to the minds of the hundreds
of people who visited agricultural
hall last Thursday and Friday. There
was no mistake about it. True, there
were good samples of wheat, oats, bar
ley and rye on exhibition but none OF
them came up to the many samples of
all kinds of corn that were there. Ears
long and full, short and thick, filed
from head to point, with peerless ker-
nels in rows straight as an arrow, were
there, The calico corn, white dent,
yellow dent, and that peerless flint on
cobs Il feet long, all filed with huge
kernels from head to point. Then pop
corn, and sweet corn of all varieties
all making the cereal stand out bold
ly over all others, and as proof that
Corn is King. Some of the best sam
pies submitted we're by J. Won Readon,

being four different collections on ex-
hibition-those of o. D. Miller, A. H

pumpkins, squash, cabbages, mangel

ATHIN6 OF BEAUTY.
Ladies' Hall ExCelied all Other
Years in Variety and Beauty.

Ladies Hall never contained q larger
and more beautiful display of articles
than it did on Thursday and Friday
last. Nor did the ladies of the city
have everything their own way. Their
country cousins we're there with more
articles and better articles than ever
before. And on the whole the interior
of the building presented wonderful
spectacle of the tact and skill of the
better portion of Redwood county.
There we're crazy quilts and block
quilts galore in silk and in calico,
in ginghams and in wool, for style,
warmth or otherwise. A score of sofa,
rocking chair and other pillows in
silk, satine, and otherwise we're thrown
about; drawn and lace work, pillow
shams and embroideries, netted lace
ETC., were there for the keen eyes oi
the committee on awards and of the
public.

throp had nine strike outs to his credit,
while the Redwood boys touched him
up for total of eight safe hits.
Redwood Falls made the four scores
to its credit in one inning That was
the second inning. Luscher started
off with single. Dotson and Fish
dittoed the record, Jones was given
base on balls, forcing Luscher across
the plate, Rollins few out to center
field, and Theiring got base on an
error of Birum, sending another man
across the plate. Martin secured his
base on a felder's choice, during
which Redwood scored two more
times, making its total of four. Thier-
ing was caught at home plate and
Murin struck out retiring the side.
Redwood made no more scores, al
though twice after that it had three
men on on bases.
Winthrop scored one in the fourth
inning and two in the sixth inning.
Norton, in the fourth, got his base on
an error of Dotson, stole second and
third, and came in on a passed ball. In
the sixth inning Meyer secured his
base on an error of Kelly, crossed the
plate on a hit by Friedl and Norton,
and Friedl afterwards scored on a hit
by Asal. Norton was put to sleep at
home by clever ruse at the home
plate. Martin allowed the ball to pass
him few feet. Norton attempted to
steal in, but was caught. In this inn
ing Asal hit safe, but while watching a
move on third, Rollins felded the ball
to Theiring, and Asal was put out
while practically mapping. In the
first half of the ninth it looked, for a
moment, as though Winthrop was 60
ing to tie the score. there being two
men on bases, and two men out, but
Murfn came up smiling and struck
the third man out The score:

THE ONLY POOR SHOW.
Exhibit of Horses, Cattle, Hogs and
Sheep Very Bad.

It is Iamentable fact that as Red
wood county increases its stock inter-
ests-as the common herd gives way
to the finer bloods, and as the latter
become more and more numerous, the
exhibits at the county fair become less.
Stock owners seem to overlook the
fact that it is their yearly opportunity
and duty to show our products and
advance the interests of their herds,
even though the premiums are not
worth the trouble. Itwas undoubted-
Iy this latter feeling that caused the
very slim exhibit last week, and made
Just this one line a failure.
Of the stock displayed-hors and
cattle-W. R. Houck exhibited good
shorthorn bull, 81. D. Everett a Jersey
heifer and grade shorthorn COW, and
John Whittet Jersey heifer. These
we're all the exhibits under the head
ing of cattle, head having seven
minor classes on the premium list.
Under the heading of horses, having
eleven classes, only two classes we're
representative Clydesdale and gen.
eral purposes. Oscar Miller exhibit
ed a Clyde stallion and Simpson &
Canuth of Morton yearling, three
year old colt, brood mare and colt
and three year old stallion-all
Clydes. John Whittet exhibited q

The polished shell exhibition was
simply out of sight. There we're
three collections-one, the largest, by
Mrs. Fred ]. Barnes, typical of deep
study, hard work, polished to many
brilliant hues,-and the other two by
Mrs. j. P. Jones and Mrs. Chas. Nc
Clintock, charming and pleasing souv-
enirs of the bottom of the Minnesota
River.
The art department was exception
ally fine. One of the largest collect
ions was by Mrs. W. P. Dunnington.
They were in oil. water color, etc., and
showed Mrs. Dunnington to have
greatly improved in her work. A col
lection in oil was exhibited by Miss
Nettie Lamport, young Belyiew
miss, who shows herself to be prom
ising young artist. Mrs. j. B. Robin
sons oranges from nature in oil was
among the best in the art group, as
was also the oil painting of the Min
nesota river bayou just north of North
Redwood, and the bridge scene in oil
by Mrs. J. 81. Bowers. The Minneso-
ia bayou was also shown in water color
by Mrs. Dunnington. Mrs. F. L. Car
penter also exhibited a number of fine
paintings in different styles. Mrs.
Ed. Erickson of Belview, exhibited
number of crayons.
Mrs. Josephine CORES exhibited
several fine articles in center table
spreads, notices, etc.
One of the cleverest displays of the
whole show was the jack knife display
of G. E. Waldron. Aside from cou-
pie of picture frames finished with the
knife, one of the frames contained an
A. O. q. W. design with the letters in
wood dozens of other little trinkets,
canes of all kinds and shapes, brackets
with horse shoe designs, etc.
Photographer Anderson had clev-
or exhibit of sepia platinos and of
work with the kodak. Mrs, A. II. An
derson made an excellent showing of
amateur photography, and Mrs. J. NJ.
Rowley of Rochester, through Mrs. j.
D. jackson showed samples of her
china painting work, equal, if not su-
perior to anything ever yet shown
here.
The display of plants, flowers, etc.
was not large, but those shown called
forth much favorable comment.

THE RACES.
Some Good Attractions in the
Racing Line.

The first and only race of Thursday
was the ESQ class for purse OF Sl5O.
The other race-the colt race de-
clared off because there was only one
entry, it requiring four to start. The
one race, however, was a good one,
and furnished a great deal of excite
ment during the three heats required
to decide it. The excitement was
more intense on account Of Harry
Mather of this city having his horse
entered, in which the local "push" was
greatly interested and wanted TO see
win. But only once did Strata, Hal-
rvs horse, forge to the front, and tt 9
forging'caused a 'bad break" and
eventually third place. Minnesota
Belle had things all her own way and
won the race in three straight heats.

might be broken The GAZETTE refrains
from publishing the score, but begs to
state that Winthrop played a very
