BIG CROWD AND
GOOD RACING.
Closing Events OF Thursdays
Big Fair,
AND FRIDAY Is THE LAST DAY
The Special Events Prove Very Interesting
Fast Time In the a;s3 Pace
Rain Spoiled Night Per-
fOrmance,

Rain Spoiled Night Per-
Thursday was the biggest fair day
Canton has seen for number of years
Not only were, the exhibits and attrac-
tlons all there, but that which more
than anything else goes to make up q
successful fair-the people-were there
by the thousands The crowd was esti-
mated at from eight to ten thousand,
and the vast multitude seemed to enjoy
every moment of the day. The special
ties between heats of the racing did
away with the tedious waiting usual
at race meetings, and SO well was every
thing arranged and timed that there
was hardly moment during the entire
afternoon that the people were not en-
tertained.
The premium awards had all been
made, and were indicated by red and
blue cards, and great many persons
put in part Of the day measuring judg-
ment with the judges, commencing or
criticising as they saw fit. In the main
the awards gave satisfaction.
The racing started soon after I o'clock
and the two events on the card proved
quite interesting, the 1928 pace devel-
oping three or four speedy ones. The
$3.50 trot was called first. Genial James
Ackleson was the starting Judge and
gave universal satisfaction. s. Toomey,
Of Canal Dover, of Toomey sulkey
fame, had the winner In Annie Dudley.
She had the money in her owners pock-
ct before the race started, for she had
speed to win and a lot in reserve. The
field back of her was evenly matched
and the struggle for place was the in
teresting feature of the race and de-
veloped a combination in the summary
not often seen-every horse stood the
same, and though Chimes had 4, 3, 2, 1t
was found that the other two had the
same positions, but in reversed orders.
The result was that second, third and
fourth moneys were divided equally
among them, each horse getting 1888.
The summary follows:
2:30 trot-purse 5000.

There was a horse race in the 1923 /
pace, the contest for first place being /
fought out between Belle and Mabel
B. Belle won the first heat, when Mabel
by good work won the second in 2:22L.
Both went after the next heat and they
went Tapped to the half In 1:06 and came
n-well, 2:19A was announced, and the
,wner of Belle s, who won, was salts
led that he got to stay in the twenty
lass instead of having to go in against
seventeen performers.
Back Of the three leaders the field was
strung out, and the fact that distance
lad been waived saved some of them the
lag. The following Is the summary:

The racing today will be interesting. s
t will include the 2:45 trotters and 800
acers and the special race between two ,
vest end horses for a purse of 5000,
,hich the owners have wagered. The
ther attractions will be sandwiched
etween heats, and anything like favor
BILE weather will mean another big
air day.
Throughout the entire fair. Secretary
. H. Lehman has been tireless in his
forts to make things go. and he has
ucceeded admirably. Everything pos
ible for the convenience of exhibitors
nd horsemen has been done. and this
ind of treatment will bring them back
ext year.
The night concert and performances
,ere spoiled by a heavy rain that set in 1
bout dusk, and this proved a source of !
to the fair managers as
yell as hundreds of people, many of
HON had taken their suppers to the
light session.
TsCHANTZs DISPLAY. l..
One Of the largest and most attractive
isplays on the grounds was that Of D. ,
\, Tschantz, who is the successor to the
anton Buggy company, located at 1922
, 1928 East Tuscarawas street. The
isplay included high grade vehicles of
II kinds, surreys, buggies, phaetons,
nd all the latest novelties. 1t is his
oast--and he makes 1t good-that he
an furnish anything from an automo-
lie to an OK cartor wheelbarrow. But

rades are manufactured of the best :
Don't fail to see these rigs
