The state fair ait Mandan closed
yasterday afternoon. The last day
was the best Of the fair So Tar as
weather is concerned. At noon the
sun came out from the clouds behind /:
which it had hid itself for i greater
part CT the frstthree5da CT the fair.
The grand stand was well 1lled, the1,
crowd from Bismarck being as large
or larger than on the preceding day.
The admissions to the fair on the last
two days helped to bring up the re-
ceipts to a fair average and the mann
agement yesterday was hopeful that
the fair would pull out Of the hole. I'M
to whichth first two days promised to
plunge it. 5s #:
The first feature Of the afternoon
celebration wa the ball game between
Bismarck and Mandan. The Bis
n,arck boys went Owe with the inten-
ton Of making the game a shut oaut,
and they carried out their good resolu-
tions. HaythoTn pitched for Bis
nlarck,, and his work was gilt edge.
Mandan got only one or two safe hits
off his delivery. At critical times he
was cool In n inning .Mandan got
two men on bases with none out, and
they doubled up, Haythorn to Ryan to
Rose. This wa the only time in the:
game that Mandan was dangerously
near a score. Second base was the
farthest any Mandan runner got in
the game. Bismarck earned most of
its runs. Rose smashed out a pretty
home run W right field. The Bis.
marck boys had no trouble finding the
delivery of the Mandan pitcher and
swatted him in one inning for a fine
succession OF singles and two baggers.
b fielding was excellent. Higgins
work at first was a feature OF the
game. He accepted every chance,
some of them long flies which he
nabbed after a hard run. The score
at the close OF the game was, Bis
marck 1o:: Mandan o.
The free-for-all trot was won by
: Comet, a little black trotter, who took
the second, third and fourth heats.
. Mckinley took the first heat, but fell
: into second place. and Wyandotte took
third. The best time was a little I'M
> der 2::3e. It was a: clean and inter.
esting race.
The Indian running race came neal
resulting in a fatal accident. On the
home stretch one Of the Indians
crowded another into the fence just
as the horses ana down the stretch
to the Judges stand. One pony
stumbled and fell, throwing his rider
violently to the track, and then the
: horse jumped over the prostrate rider.
The Indian lighted sauarely on top Oh
: his head, and then fell oyer on the
track. He e~ndeavored to rise, but fell
9 back as though dead. He was car
ried off the track and doctors sum
2 nloned, and after a time it was an
rouneed that he was bruised UP con.
q siderably but not badly, hurt.
a game OF lacrosse by the Indians
: was another feature of the afternoon
After the other sports there was tbs
usual steer roping exhibition, and the
afternoon wound up with the stage
heldeup, which was. rather tame. but
z probably interesting to those to whom
8 1t was a novelty.
g On the whole, the fair was interest.
y Ing, but more from the standpoint 81
the amusements than the exhibits
& (which were neither as numerous n al
Tine as they should have been. Thi
management did everything possib1,
IL to furnish a good amusement program
and the base ball tournament helped
], out as much as amy single feature
Q Bismarck, as usual, was an exceilen
patron of the fair and 1t is safe to sa.
! that there were ais many Bisunarci
q people in attendance as from Mandar
and vicinity.
