race, but that furnished considerable
sport despite the fact that II was won
in straight heats by Big Anna, a horse
that, in repose looked better adapted
TO the plow than the race track. But
in spite Of her size, she showed ability
to trot close to 2:25, although not
forced to do SO.
There was considerable interest man
ifested in the colt Daredevil Jr., owned
by John G.. Welty, and driven by Gar
Held Walters, brother of Allie Wal
ters. In the first two heats the horse
made the fight the greater part of the
mile, but when the pace got too hot,
he became unsteady and was up on his
toes. 1t was his first start, and the
showing was good one, but Big Anna
and Nancy Pilot were bit too fast
Those who watched the race closely
discovered that the speed of the party
was in Nancy Pilot, although 1t was
evident the driver was not trying to
win. 1t was not so apparent in the
first two heats, although Nancy went
through the crowd and finished second
in each. In the third heat she broke
and was an eighth of a mile back, but
when the mile was finished she was
right up on Big Annals neck, under a
strong pull.
There were seven starters in the race
Pauline, owned by Glen Halliwell, was
entered by Dick Walters, but when her
name was sent in to association head
quarters 1t was found that in years
past she had been fined $27, and this
money would have to be forthcoming
before she could start. The local horse
men did not know that she had ever
been on the track outside of the local
matinees. She was scratched.
James Ackleson, the popular Min
crva horseman, acted as starting judge
and gave satisfaction. g, He has way
of handling horsemen that make the
racing go off nicely and without any
wrangling, SO common at fairs.

The novelty race had four entries. 1t
was good deal of procession. Two
Waynesburg horses, owned by Richard
Elson, captured first and second
moneys. They were fast walkers and
on the first half had gained an eighth
OF mile on the other two entries. They
then started on a pace and trot and
galloped the last half, finishing half
mile ahead of the others, who were
both slow on the walk. The two re-
naming horses, one owned by ]. z.
Steinmetz Of Howenstine, and the other
by Charles Kryder went on to see who
world get third money. Steinmetz had
got big lead on the second half
and looked to be a winner, but
when the Kryder mare got to running
she fairly flew. The way she went
that half-mile was one of the best
fno nf hn fair vfd lou lnrx
on her neck and she went past Stein
metz like a flash. Had he been any
where near the other horses when the
running began, he would have given
them chase
n-The judges of the racing were: James
Ackleson, starter; Emory Miller, Rob-
ert Boyd, w. s. Shertzer and James
Conkle.
