1t came to the tinal test, after the less
deserving had been sent from the
ring, there were left In Eve horses,
two from Missouri and three from
Kentucky. 1t looked then like Ken
tuoky would surely get the ribbon,
but, after q most exhaustive trial of
the merits Of the contenders, the
judges, as distinguished and abls q
quartet a. ever awarded q aribbon, set
tied upon Thornton Star.
There were originally twenty I've
entries to the csmpetftion, but the
fame of the principal ones had become
80 great that when the bugle was
blown last night only twelve entered
the ring. These were walked, trotted
and cantered about the ring, and on
the hrst examination Annie r Mabel
Rex, Emmet and Mckinley were sent
ont. This left eight handsome sad
dlsrs In, and Of this bunch Robert e.
Hissy's Ike was by far the most pop
ular with the crowd. He is q mag
nificent bay, with world OF speed
and hne action, but he was In exquis-
ite company last night, and after
another ten minutes study of the
gaits of the contestants he was sent
out along with Income and Richmond
Squirrel. This reduced the fsld to
Ave and the judges had q most difficult
problem before them. The Ave left
In were Thornton Star, Monte Cristo,
Jr., Highland Maid, The Frenchman
and Miss Rex. A better quintet 1t
would be impossible to get together in
the West. The crowd, which judges
by general effect, and the judges, who
base their opinion upon technical
knowledge aud much closer obser-
vation Of the horses than is possible
for the spectators, differed In opin-
ions. The crowd had mot liked the
order banishing Ike from the ring,
and in the Ave left In for the last
trial their sympathies were mostly
with Miss Rex, Monte Cristo and The
Frenchman.
When the blue was hung on Thorn
ton Stars bride the crowd seemed
surprised, but, after expressing its
disspproval, finally united in tribute
which Ia always gained by success.
Monte Cristo, Jr., was gwen the red
ribbon; The Frenchman got the yell
low, and Highland Maid was awarded
the white.
Many people judged the horse az
much by the manner In which he was
ridden as they did by the qualities
which he exhibited. With the audi
ence little distinction was made ~ t.
styls and gait. This was apparen,
when they began applaudipg Ike,
owned by r. e. Hisey, of Mexico,
Mo. The animal cid make q mag
nificent appearance, and though fl
did not show up as well AZ In the
gaits, his speed and general style
were hardly approached by the Others
In the competition.

the sweetness of girlhood-pure, faith

E. Botkin. A gloom has been cast
over home, a school, community,
but we mourn not as one without hope.
'Tis only few short years
Till our friends In solemn tone,
Shall say of as as we cay now,
She's gone home.
God made the heavenly home
For US to occupy,
And when q place there must be nlled
He calls some one on high.
Methinks I heard the message
To his angels up above:
Go down to earth and bring to me
A precious one In love.
A teacher mourns the loss
Of loving pupil dear,
And schoolmates' faces look 80 sad,
Where once was mirth and cheer.
In the eternal school
Was room for one more mind;
In calling Neah to this place
God meant it to be kind.
A gloom is in our midst,
A community now weeps,
But could we know Gods wisdom
'Twould be Joy instead Of grief.
A home Is left 80 lonely
And hearts are wrung in grief,
But God can heal the deepest wouna,
Dan come to our relief.
Go ask him to remove
The miso from on our eyes,
That We may see his goodness
And his wisdom realize.
We ask thee, Heavenly Father,
To keep us as We walk the thorny
path OF life,
To At our lives that we may meet in
coming years
Our Neah beyond the vale Of tears;
Help us until the victory's won,
To say, "Thy will, o Lord, be done.' y
