of making this state richer by her
own products, contribute to the rich
ness of these great cities.
I'm the future of this state, there
is one thing that | look forward to
with longing. 1t is the time when
this state is settled by progressive
and well-to-do farmers. Montana pol
itics will be in a different condition
than they are now Then a mining
fight in Butte will not be of such i'm
portance as to absorb the attention
of the entire state
The Races.
The first race was called at about
o'clock, and was a mile mixed g.
minute race, best two in three, with
Thornburg, Charley S., and DR.. EN-
NETT as contestants. The first two
are PAGERS, while the latter is trot-
ter. There was the usual delay in
getting them started, and when the
starter did drop the flag, Thornburg
was at the least two lengths behind,
but as the driver nodded for the
word, the start was made in that or
der There was no doubt of the out
come after the first quarter, as Thorn
burg, despite her handicap, soon
drew to the front and was never in
danger, and crossed the wire we'll in
the lead in 1929 Is, with DR.. Emmett
second and Charley S. third, in the
fastest heat ever paced on the asso
cations track.
The second heat and the first
money was also won by Thornburg in
2:31, with Charley S. second and DR..
Emmett third bud" Busby, the lat
ter's driver, at the expiration of the
heat filed a protest against the award
ing of the second place to Charley S.,
and claimed that the latter's driver
had fouled him by in and out driving
on the back stretch. He also claimed
that Charley S. was not a 3-minute
horse, as he had made a mile in less
than $3.50, and for that reason his
owner should be fined and shut off
from participating in any other race
until such fine was paid The driver
of Charley S. denied the charge of
| fouling, and the judges took the mat
| ter under advisement. When the
third heat was called for the purpose
of settling the question of second
money, neither Gwner would allow
their horses to race, and the heat was
| called off.
| There we're five entries in the 300
yards dash for ponies, and the race
was quite exciting while it lasted, as
all the participants were in bunch
when they passed under the wire
Charley Swaney, on Siwash, had a
narrow lead, while Harry Gangner
on Nugget, was awarded second
money. This ended the program OF
races for the day.
At 5 o'clock in the southwest corner
of the grounds, Jack O'Neill gave an
illustration of the scientific method
of dressing beef to large crowd oil
spectators, and the beef was carved
in highly instructive manner. The
cattle are furnished by w. Schroeder
and while the feature is not down or
the regular program, Mr.. Schroeder
has at his own expense fitted up the
necessary equipment, and during th'
remainder of the fair will furnish the
stock, while Mr.. O'Neill will do thu
, dressing. O'Neill is one of the bes
meat dressers in this part of thu
, state, and an effort is being made t,
arrange a contest between him ant
some aspirant for championship hon
ors, to take place the last day of tn
a fair. If this can not be done, O'Neil
y will give an exhibition of rapid ant
fancy dressing Saturday evening.
The various booths were centers O
e attraction throughout the afternoon
blooded stock and chickens, in thei
pens at the south fence.
J. The stables containing the racin
). stock were also visited by many pee
It pie, among whom were many anxiou
+ to get tip on some sure thing at tn
coming races.
1t was at the exhibition buildin
a adjoining the grand stand, however
that the largest crowd was gathered
and the aisles were damned through
D, out the afternoon. The first buildin
b is devoted solely to exhibits of fruits
l. photography, fancy work, art, draw
ings by the pupils of the schools @
the city and county, and kindred dis
e. plays, and it presents an attractiv
A appearance. The building ajoinin
on the north is fitted up with booth
of different firms of the city, and ais

is not as large as it might have beer
