The Races.
At the conclusion of the ball game
the ,bugle called the horses entered
for the special trot, mile heats, three
in five, for a purse of $3.50. The en-
tries were H. M%cFadden's Congrove,
George w. Lucas School Bell, j.. Nc
Cauley's Idol and D. c. Smiths D.
G. S. Congrove won the tossup and
took the pole in the first heat. While
at times Idol and D. G. S. were good
seconds, the roan was never crowded
very hard, except in the second quar-
ter, when Idol gave him a good race
for a few rods, but broke and continu-
ed to run until almost under the wire
and was set back to fourth place for
running. The others finished in the
order given: D. G. S., School Bell.
Time 2:27 is.
An Indian race one mile, with five
entries was now Il n 1t proved to
be a fast and good one and was won
by Bernard, with Alphonso second and
Patrick third. Time 1853.
Congrove took the second heat of
the trotting race with Idol second,
D. G. S. third and School Bell fourth.
Time 1926 As.
Another Indian race, half mile, was
sandwiched in. Only three horses
started. Alphonso rode the winner,
although he was badly fouled by Hart
ford in the first turn, who crowded
him against the fence much to the
danger OF Alphonso's bare leg, which
received a sever rasping from the
top board. Hartford finished second;
Richard third. Time :55.
The third heat of the harness race
was now trotted. Again Congrove
proved an easy winner. In the first
half Idol was inclined to crowd the
roam, but like in the preceding heat he
lost his feet at the critical moment
and ran. D. G. S. came in second, Idol
third and School Bell fourth. Time
2:27.
The next regular ace on the caro-
was a dash of three-eights mile for
a purse of 800. For this event E.
l. Shields named Col. T.; S. Polk,
Charlie Lamar; Mosier, Joe D., and
]. A. Bracken, Eveline. Each horse
had 100 pounds to carry. Col. T. was
first, Joe D. second, Charlie Lamar
third and Eveline fourth. Time :37.
The finish was attended by an &C.
cident. The horses were we'll bunch
ed as they approached the wire and
when almost under a dog attempted
to run cross the track. He fouled
Eveline, causing her to fall and
throw her rider, a jockey named Kent.
The man was picked up and found to
be severely injured. He was brought
to town and DR.. Prickett, who was at
the track, took charge.
The third and concluding regular
race was a ive-eighths mile dash for
a purse of $3.50. S. Brown named
Alice Kicks; Hackett, Valley Ante;
William, Henry R.; B. Roush, July
Glib, and J. L. Mcpherson, M. J. Shell
ly. Henry R. was first; Valley Ante
second; July Glib third. Time 1904.
In Horticultural Hall.
The articles remaining in horticul-
tural hall the day before we're all in
place yesterday and the exhibits in
the ladies' departments were so ex-
tensive that it was found necessary
to provide extra wall space. The art
has a larger exhibit and
more competitors than in previous
years. Miss Claire, Mrs. Lulu B.
Smith and Mrs. ]. H. Rinehart each
has a large collection of oil paintings.
Misses Lillian Allen and Harriet
Brayton each has especially meritor-
ious exhibits of water colors, pen and
ink and charcoal work. There are
a number of smaller exhibits which
are all good.
The art work certainly emphasizes
the fact that there is much talent in
line in Yellowstone county, and
it is gratifying to know that the work
here is practically in it's infancy as
at least two of the competitors are
only school girls. If the talent shown
in their work is any criterion, great
may be expected from them in
the future.
The ladies' department, besides the
usual fancy articles SO dear to the
house wife, contains a collection of
point, duchess and battenburg lace,
which represents a money value
reaching into the thousands. Those
