Secretary Says Performances Are
Better Than Promises.

In accepting the office of secretary of
the state board of agriculture, for the
fifth term, f. D. Coburn said:
ANY man honorably identified with
so honorable a body as the Kansas

propriety be proud. Pride in being a
fifth time chosen it's executive officer.
without the asking, is surely pardon
able. Pardonable or otherwise, the one
who stands before you is human
enough, appreciative enough, to confess
such pride. No official was ever asso-
ciated with a body of more pleasant
gentlemen; no other was ever accorded
such generous consideration by his CO.
workers, and none need ever hope or
wish to be.

work grows and it's influence widens,

The 500 people who attended the wonl-

The trouble all came about by Farms
worth and CLAW refusing to ride until
they had been paid what was coming to
thhem They made up their minds that
they would not take any chances on get
ting their money after the race was fin
ished and consequently the acting man
ager, Fl. o. Messier had to deposit the
money with Tom Bird, the starter. before
the women would ride.
However, after the trouble between the
manager and the riders had been ad-
justed and the race started as usual,
everything went off very smoothly and
those present were treated to some very
brisk riding at times during the even
ing Farnsworth was Handicapped by hav-
ing the saddle on her wheel break in
about the middle of the race, and she had
to ride strange saddle from that time
on until the finish.
Ward also had trouble with her wheel
and was compelled to stop once.
The finish was very exciting, and was
enlivened by a beautiful squirt by Claw
and Olson, who finished first and second
respectively, with Farnsworth a close
third
The score at the end of las nights
race for the total six nights was: CLAW,
first, ITO miles; Olson second, ITO miles;
Farnsworth third, 40 miles; Ward fourth,
