THE FAIR
A SUCCESS

time until about the last eighth. DR..
Emmett was also second in this heat
and created most favorable impress
| sion, especially when it is taken into
consideration that this was his fourth
race, or so his driver declared.
The third race was a half mile
| dash, best two in three straight heats
by Silver Jim, with Sleepy second;
time Sc seconds and 81 seconds. En-
chant was also entered for this race,
but was left at the post, and as he
was distanced, the judges ordered
him to the stables. AS this horse was
the favorite, the action of the judges
was decidedly unpopular, especially
| so as the people who bet their money
on him had no chance to win.
The matched race, for one mile,
| between J. P. S. and Redmount, was
| one of the most exciting of the day
and was won by the latter in 1: 81 1-2
This race closed the program for the
day, and was also the last of the Sc
| ries.
Throughout the entire fair the
races were the chief source of amuse-
| ment, and were decidedly the feature
of the meeting. The horses were all
of better quality that have hereto
fore been raced on the tracks in this
county, and if nothing else is done by
| the fair it has at least raised the
standard of racing in this vicinity,
and after witnessing the work of
Shoestring, Thornburg, Redmount,
Sleepy Jim, and others that were en-
tered for the races, the people will
not be satisfied with anything less
than races by horses of equal or bet
ter racing ability in the future.
The task allotted to the judges of
awarding prizes for the winning dis
plays was by no means an easy one,
and as yet the list Of winners is in
complete.
School Work.

many instances to award the pre-
miums in accordance with the direc-
ton set forth in the catalogue. There
were many pupils whose work was
commendable, but as no premium
was offered in that particular line, it
was impossible to give them any rec
ignition
In most cases the work showed evil
dences that it had been prepared en-
tirely this year-not that it was
carelessly done-but not SO large a
display as it might otherwise have
been.
While the teachers whose pupils re-
ceived recognition for their work
should get their share of credit, the
teacher who had the pupils last year
is deserving fully as much praise.
Considering this was the first fair
in Flathead county and so short a
time was given for preparation, the
exhibit of school work was excellent.
