The fourth race was probably as
pleasing to the crowd in the grand
stand as any of the meeting, as in it.
the distance being two miles, the horses
passed the stand twice. and ii was an
other race in which the favorite won.
So strong was the betting on Twinkle
Twink that she sold at 81 against a
field of four horses for SIS. Los Prietos
n McPryor also had friends in the
crowd about evenly divided. The bet
ting. particularly in the mutuals. was
heavy and did much to swell the re-
ceipts of the day. The start was mag
nificent and the horses got away in a
bunch. 1t was only near the half-mile
post that Reolia was in the lead. and
the horses behind her exchanged places
so frequently and fast that no one
could be said to have second place. Nc
Pryor was the next horse to emerge
from the bunch, and Los Prietos about
the same time was seen to drop behind.
At the three-quarters Olivia had man
aged to get the lead. followed by Nc
Pryor and Twinkle Twink. Reolia
went to third place and for a short
time McPryor got back to second. At
the turn il was Twinkle Twink, Nc
Pryor second. During the rush dow
the stretch Reolia regained her posi-
ton al second, McPryor followed, while
Los Prietos was fourth. Time, 1884.

The fifth race was a division of the
first race and was run under the same
conditions and for the same purse. La
tab was the strong favorite n this
was the first race of the afternoon which
did not go to the favorites. Ricardo
was second choice n then opinion diff
fered about the other horses. There
were several bad actors in the field
and some of them, under different
starters, had become accustomed to be-
ing left at the post at other places in
the state. This time all of them got
away and the start was more than good.
Ricardo got the lead, followed by Il. &
w. Jim Brownell came out Of the
crowd in the second quarter, n for a
minute shone as first, but dropped be-
hind later on. Willmeter came TO the
front at the turn n managed to hold 1t
and the horses came under the wire in
this order: willmeter, Jim Brownell,
Latah and Ricardo. Time, 1:151a. Sum-

Notes.
The association will very nearly pay
expenses, but it has decided that an
other year it will not ~entangle itself
with any agricultural fair.
The horsemen who brought their
strings to this city are entirely pleased
with the meeting and all express the
nope that they will meet here again
next summer All of them are agreed
upon one point and hat is the excel
lence of the work done by Pat Regain
as starter. Among those who have ex-
pressed themselves OH lDe SubJGNl II
such men as Frank Mcmahon, Frank
VanNess, Billy Randall and d. S.
Fountain. Each says that he feels safe
to bet his own none on the result so
far as the start affects it; that he Is
sure not TO get left at the post, and Is
satisfied that his horse will be in on an
even break. They also state that they
will do their best to get Pat
TO the position of starter for next year.
rL;. ;e the tipaa for the VnInR man
TO tell you that If he had followed a
different course he would have come
out big WINNER on the meeting.
Outside of the machinery of the meet
ing, affairs have also run smoothly. UP
to yesterday evening there had not been
a single case of robbery committed, or at
least reported to the officers. On We'd
nesday an old German gentleman
thought hi had been robbed by a tout,
but on investigation h officers found
that there was much room for doubt in
the case. The tout had made a divis-
ion of the money, but the victim
thought that he had been cheated GU
of about Sc, although he had admitted
that the plan of division was very IN
definite.
A curious feature of the present meet
ing is the fact thai it was started as a
regular county fair. with a special feat
ure consisting of a number OF local
races. This latter side issue was devel-
oped into the present race meeting, with
the county fair as a side show. While
several excellent exhibits were made in
this department, the fair as a whole did
not compare favorably with those held
in this city in previous years, and at
tracted but little attention. 1t was
~overshadowed by the racing, and in
succeeding years should Great Falls be
admitted to the state circuit, the fair
will most likely be run independent of
the races and presumably at a later
date and in a location more accessible
from town.
