THIRD DAY.
The half mile dash, best 2 in on the
third day, was the most exciting event
of the entire Fair, Roy w. H. was
again entered against Nokite and the
first heat was won by Roy w. Il. in a
nice contest. When the second heat
was started Nokite Rugged the pole
close and passed the point safely at
which Roy W. H. had cut her out in
all previous races. She kept nose
ahead until the post was reached and
then gained little down the home
stretch and finished half length
ahead in the most exciting contest ever
seen on this track.

the second and was taken by Nokite by
a length. Nokite is owned by G.. B.
Dunn, of Abingdon, and Roy W. H. is
owned by Hunter, Williams & Pearce,

horse and it looked for awhile like he
could not be beaten but the little bay

last two heats.
The fourth mile dash was won by
Bob Pickett over Mamie and Prince
Albert. Mamie came in second in the
2nd and 3rd heats.
