NOTES.
On last Tuesday afternoon, at the fair
grounds, span of horses belonging to
A. Luebner & Sons, driven by Oscar
Luebner, became frightened when the
band began to play, and dashed head
long among the vehicles near by, strik-
ing against span of Fay Andrews
dray horses and breaking the shoulder
of one of them. The horse was so
severely injured that it was shot by the
police The runaways then literally
climbed into rubber-tired two-seat
rig owned by Dan Healy and almost
completely demolished it, after which
they ran astradole a tree where they
were captured. That no one was in
jured was little short of miracle.
The race track was rather rough
during the two days races, so that it
was impossible to break any records.
On Wednesday afternoon Gov. SEQ
field spoke briefly from the judges
stand, being Introduced by Judge w.
G.. Silverthorn. His remarks were hap
| ply given, and he thanked the people
of Wausau for the reception and enter
tainment rendered him.

Owen, gave an exhibition run around
the race course with his automobile, on
Wednesday Afternoon. 1t was made un-

as starter for the horse races on both
days and gave general satisfaction.

while the timers were w. c. Daven-
port, l.. p. Gilman and John Cawley.

bicycle races, j. H. Farrell was starter
and Grin Liljeqvest clerk of course.
The small number of accidents which
occurred at the grounds and during
the Fourth, were relief to the minds
of ALL because nearly every year some
one is severely hurt.
There was little or no display of fire.
works in the city on Wednesday even
ing, because of the severe storm, but
on Thursday evening the heavens pre-
sented pretty sight, being swept by
fire balls from Roman candles and fiery
streaks from the swishing sky rockets,
which exploded in mid air and added
their temporary stars to the millions OF
their more enduring brothers.
The usual Fourth of July dinner was
given at the Marathon county asylum
and the rooms were very prettily decor
ated for the occasion. The fire works
celebration was to have been given Oh
Wednesday evening, but on account o.
the heavy rain storm had to be post
poned until the following evening
much to the disappointment of all. Tht
program was successfully carried ou
on Thursday evening, however.
