looked TO be nearly as large as that Of
Thursday, When the drawing for the
wagons took place at o'clock in the

one MACS OF humanity on tip-toe,
while people we're all over the track
and intermediate ground. Everybody
had coupons, some parsons In large
numbers. Jack Harrison, OF Callaway,
drew the big wagon, while q. A. Rob-
erts, of Boone, held the coupon which
called for the road wagon.
The arena shows were pronounced
fully as good as any Of those OF the
previous two days, and while the
speed classes were one race short ON
account Of the 2:17 trot not filling
satisfactory, nevertheless the events
were good. In short, 1t was big last
day fair.
