LAST DAY
OF THE
FAIR

| Perfect weather brought out a
large crowd to witness the last days
events at the fair. The grand stand
was packed to its utmost and specta-
tors lined the track for considerable
| distance on both sides The Indians
| showed great deal of interest in the
races. clustering around the fences
and within the enclosure.
after a concert on First avenue the
Woodman band proceeded to the Fair
grounds. where they opened the after
Moons program with some pleasing
selections. The racing began early
in order to leave ample time for the
ball game, and the assembly present
to witness the opening, showed that
not many had fingered over the noon
meal.
The first event. which came off at
1870, was an exhibition by Polar
Wilkes, paced by two running horses.
Polar made very pretty picture with
his graceful dash around the track,
and won the admiration of all be-
holders. The mile was made in 2:2O.
The Indians next came on the fell
for a half mile running race. A good
start was made and the run was
watched with much enthusiasm by the
spectators. Jim Weaselskin came
out first and Severe second. The
time was :52.
For the third event a five-mile re
lay race was run between Paul Ar
rngton's and w. l.. Huntngton's
string of horses. The riders started
together, but before an eighth of a
mile was passed George De Luche
took the lead. Being very rapid in
making changes he kept this place
throughout the race, although the
other contestant gained considerable
on the last mile. They were. how
ever. n good eighth of mile apart
when the five miles were finished the
advantage being gained in the greater
rapidly with which the winner chang
ed saddles.
Polar Wilkes then paced a half mile
to beat track record. coming back
to the judges box in just one minute
and seven seconds.
There was an exhibition of carriage
team, and then squaw's race of one
half mile running, with fairly good
start They set off around the
track, each squaw urging her horse
it was race between Wau-a-Push and

OCEAN LINER IN DISTR ESS
THE PHILADELPHIA Is THOUGHT TO
BE IN TOW OF THE NECKAR.

The Leyland Line steamer Philadelphian.
bound from Liverpool for Boston, was sighted
by the White Star steamship Georgia which
arrived yesterday about $50 miles off the Irish
coast >on February II flying signals of distress.
The Georgia stood down to her and found that
her propeller was disabled. line was given
her and the Georgia started to tow the disabled
ship to port. \ fresh gale sprang up and the
hawser parted. A second line was sent aboard
and this also parted. The weather was too
boisterous to admit of a third line being passed
from one ship to the other ana the Georgia was
compelled to leave the Leyland liner to fight
her own way out of the dilemma.
Captain L. L. McKinstry, of the White Star
liner Teutonic which arrived here yesterday.
also reported that Tuesday last at about
a. m. he passed n steamer showing signals OF
the North German Lloyd Line, which had In
town another large steamer. which showed no
signals. He passed the ships about l,ll6 miles
east of Sandy Hook.
Officials of the North German Lloyd Line in
this city said yesterday that the ship showing
their signals must have been the Neckar, which
is due here from Bremen with about LOCO pas
sengers. The Neclar is a new ship and equipped
with powerful engines Unless unusually severe
weather is encountered, she can easily tow the
other vessel to Halifax.
From the position OF the Philadelphian when
sighted by the Georgia and the fact that 1t
was six days later that the Neckar and tow
were sighted, vessel men are confident that 1t is
the Leyland liner which is being brought in.
