The series of war pictures was again
on exhibition, though the one-armed

time in Norway, and the trade in specta-
cles, electric belts, wire jewelry, etc.,
was as brisk as ever.
Miss Libby, the Norway photographer,
used only small portion of the space
assigned her with portrait work, and
made the larger portion of her display
of the souvenirs which she makes OF
places of interest in the vicinity. These
souvenirs are in great variety of form

attractive to every one.

in dry and fancy goods, exhibited a
quantity of garments and suits, etc.

was calculated to hit all tastes and all
purses, embracing all grades in steel and
pneumatic tired buggies, surveys, etc.,
even down to very light and neat
pneumatic road cart.

less attractive display of those machines
effective if not easier.

designed to relieve ones back in the
work of keeping the weeds out of the
beet bed. A good number of first

WEDNESDAYS RACES.
The races of Wednesday were excellent
and enjoyed by good sized audience.
The green horse race had considerable
local interest for South Paris people as
four of the five starters, all except
King Croix, are owned here. The first
heat in this class was trotted in the rain
Tuesday and was a close and pretty heat,
the winner being Frank Starbird's bay
gelding, Robinson c., son OF that great
sire of speed, Robinson D. Mr.. Star
bird has been working this horse in a
farm and job team all summer, and his
success here came as surprise to the
local fraternity.
The second heat, which was the first
of the green horses on Wednesday, re-
quired lots of scoring. When the horses
finally got away, Young Brothers little
brown PAGER, Belle p, made great
burst of speed and took the pole on the
first turn, then made bad break and
Ben Rnssell's black mare, ZircOn Girl by
Victor Patchen, came to the front and
was not headed in that heat. Starbird
and Young made a good drive for the
second place in the home stretch, but
both got little excited and drove their
horses to break, and King CrOix came
in second.
The third heat was the best of the
day and one of the best ever seen here.
The horses were all well punched
throughout the mile and it was impossi-
bic to guess the winner. Russell kept
the pole with the black PAGER, Zircon
Girl, but was hard pressed all the way
by the others. When the head of the
stretch was reached Starbird swung
Robinson C. out and he and Russell
made one of the most exciting drives for
drivers used their whips freely the entire
length of the home stretch, and the black
PAGER on the pole was straining every
nerve to win, but the potent blood of
old Robinson d. showed itself, and Star
bird went under the wire a winner by
only a neck in 2:36 IA. 1t was great
race. In the fourth heat Starbird's
horse was not headed, pacing down to
his record in the former heat.
