revivals, prize fights, campaign meet

FANCY TRAPS.
A New Fair Feature That Is of
Much Interest.

There is a great deal of interest in
a new feature of this years State Fair
premium liSt-that designated as fan
cy traps or CARTS" described on page
~ of the premium list.
This relates to the best trap, cart, or
fancy park carriage" said Secretary
Shields yesterday, and it embraces
horse, harness and vehicle, all of which
will be considered. This is the only
case in which the tout ensemble will re-
ceive consideration. and it seems to
me there are enough fancy and even
stately equipages in the country to re-
suit in a fine display, something worth
seeing by all lovers of good turnouts.
If man knows no more about horses
than what he would read of coaches in
one of Dickens novels, he ought to be
interested in this department"
1t is believed that many of the own
ers of fine driving teams will enter
them before the date of closing, which
is September 9th.

Quite large meeting of the Junior

Quinn spoke a few words Of encourage
ment and congratulation to the boys.
All the members gave evidence of
great earnestness in the work of tenn
perance they have undertaken, and the
reports of their efforts to induce their
companions to join the League foreteil
of a wonderful increase in the men,

FIXING A CASE.
Justice Anderson Discourages It by
Filming Both Parties.

City Justice Anderson yesterday
found Thomas Boralis guilty of dis
turbing the peace of Sol Pozansky and
fined him $40. The complaining wit
ness had failed to appear, causing the
continuance of the case two or three
times, and Justice Anderson issued an
attachment for him. He stated when
the officer arrested him that a saloon
keeper had told him that Boralis was
a friend of his and asked him not to
prosecute him and he assented, not
knowing that it was wrong. The court
impressed on his mind the fact that
cases could not be fixed up in that
way by fining him $40 for contempt of
court.
