SIX RACES TO-DAY
GREAT SPORT AWAITS THE vIsI-
TORS TO THE FAIR.
HARNESS AND RUNNING RACES
WILL GIVE LOVERS OF BOTH A
CHANCE FOR ENJOYMENT.


Postponed From Saturday-HOrses
That Are Entered in That and the
Five other Events-Every Day
This week, Save Saturday, There
Will BE Races, and "a Large At
tendance Is Looked fOr-Pro-
gramme as 1t stands for the Rest
of the Meeting.
Great sport awaits all who visit the
Fair grounds to-day. From u o'clock
until late in the afternoon there will
be races, and some fine events are in
prospect. The great crowd of Saturday
left the promise of an even greater
attendance to-day, for the races on
that day were splendid and an adver-
tisement for the meeting that will, it
is thought. insure many spectators.
Lovers of running races have a
chance to-day to crafty their desire
to see the magnificent sport that is af-
forded by a field of fast ones under
the saddle What is more, those who
have to remain at their work until
the dinner hour, 2 o'clock, will have
plenty of time to get to the track to
see the concluding heats of the har-
ness events and all the running races.
The running races are the last on the
programme. In all, there will be three
harness and three running races.
An extra race is on the card for to-
day Only four heats of the PIG class,
trotting, were had on Saturday, and 1t
was announced then that the conclud-
ing heat or heats would be trotted to-
day, beginning at IL O'Clock. This was
the most exciting race of the three on
Saturday, and many horsemen pro-
nounced it as fine a race as they ever
witnessed. There are eight entries, and
every one is a good horse. Unless they
had all been good ones, four heats
could not have been trotted in time
varying from 2:16 to 2:17A without
some of the horses being lost. AS 1t
was, not a single one was distanced,
and in one or two heats they finished
in a bunch.
