varied and up to date. The price is
but 25 cents.
Only high class artists have found
favor with the managers. Imitators
and charlatans have been ruthlessly
pushed aside-the very best is scarce
good enough. Their fortune was
truly great in securing Signor Du-
Fore, the human cannon ball, and
Ray Burton, the worlds greatest
eouilibrist-a veritable galaxy of tai
ent in themselves. The cannon will
be loaded with it's animated bullet
and shot off in full view of the grand
stand every day and Ray Burton will
perform feats we'll nigh incredible.
Then the base ball fiends are not
all dead and while they live they
must be amused. 1t is in the power
of the Peninsula Fair to do it and
they have taken the contract. Ac-
comac has promised to put North
anpton to sleep on the grounds in
full view of the grand stand and
everybody is invited to bear wit
ness. Northampton rooters take
warning and govern yourselves ac-
cordingly. Death sentence will be
pronounced by the umpire. Inter
mont Immediately thereafter right
where they fall. No flowers.
In the horse department they are
taxed to their utmost to handle the
entry list They have all the good
ones. The very worst have fallen by
the wayside. They are not running
kindergarten for the feeble and in
efficient. The worthless and the USE
less must find other pastures. They
only encourage the survival OF the
fittest. And they most positively say
the best horse must win. No repeti-
ton OF last years racing will be toll
Grated. Races must be trotted on
the track and not in the stables. A
word to the wise is sufficient. They
have all the entries they can handle
on their track and many more than
we can attempt to notice in this
space. a few will suffice to show the
attractiveness of the card.
On the first day they have in the
2:16 trot and 2:1S pace Judge Case
Lamp Girl, Happy Nick, Little Guy
and Bursar Certainly q good coli
lection of straights and mixtures.
Four of them with the same mark.
From present advices they will face
the starter in prime condition and
fit to race for their lives. Many pre-
dict Lamp Girl will lower her colors
to one of these side wheelers. II you
think so name him and we will show
you Lamp Girl man who will test
your sincerity. Same day, first race,
they have: Rex, Lizzie, Foxhall, Lucy
j. Happy Tie, Rubico aid Bonnie; all
Eastern Shore horses but Rubico, OF
Raleigh, n. c.. and FoXhall, of No
folk, Va, who are just making their
debut on our tracks. We don't know
anything about them, bat presume
they are good ones or they should
not be so far away from home. Watch
RubicO.
Tue TWO year old race belongs to
Sweetness. If Floyd Bros. want
their check they should hand it to
them before the race to save time.
The 2:32 class will show white Tip
strong favorite at the post. He is
indeed promising horse and q wor-
thy son of noble sire. But then
racing is uncertain and there are
others in this class. Don't back our
opinion now and then complain. Our
judgment, strange to say, has mis-
carried at times.
You remember that job lot OF two
year olds they showed you last year,
and in the fullness of time that race
came to an end. Well, they are three
now and what a nice lot of youngsters
they are. Well developed, speedy
and true. Their form shows they
have attended good winter school.
We can't pick the winner. Perhaps
you can.
In the 2:24 class Sport looms up as an
unknown quantity, with everybody
scared and nobody acknowledging
it. Clarence B. comes all the way
from Arlington Md, to find out if re-
ports about him are true, and Stella
bobs up here looking spick and span
as fiddle. If Orwell says she is on
her foot the horse that pokes his
nose under the wire ahead of her can
travel Prediction No. 2.
That 2.35 class ought to be one of
the best contested races OF the Fair.
The man who names the winner here
has horse eye and we want him to
write up the next criticism for the
Fair.
In the 2:1S class what galaxy Of
trotting talent; Lamp Girl, Great
Stakes OF Norfolk, Bursar, Sport and
Byrd Eye of North Carolina. Don't
this promise q great race-probably
the event of the meeting. All tried
and true. A great effort will be made
in this race to beat Lamp Girl. But
she is not of the stuff to dodge an
issue or lower her colors to a rival.
If they are not of the first water they
will soon give up the struggle and
leave her to finish the journey in
peace. Others have done this before
The 2:30 class shows nine entries,
with Foxie Lambert of Richmond,
and Prince Wilks of Hampton, in the
bunch. The $50 class has seven en-
tries with mixture of good and bad.
Then comes the Free for all trot and
pace. Here we find Judge Case, Lamp
Girl. 0. NJ. c.. Happy Nick, Little
