THE FAIR IS OVER.

Continued from First Page)
Lehr were both called upon the carpet,
and both denied emphatically all the
charges of crooked work But the evil
dence was too strong against them,
and in very few minutes o. P. upde-
graft, the starter, announced as fol-
lows:
The judges believing that there was
collusion in this race, that Watson
was not driven to win, have declared
all bets off and no heat"
This announcement was greeted with
applause and cheers from the crowd,
many of whom had 1 to Watson
tickets in their pockets which were
saved by the action of the court
George Burghart had very little to
say about the decision of the judges.
He declared that he had won two
heats and the race fair and square.
and that there was 10 collision.
GLORY -QUAYLE THE FAVORITE.
The first race of the afternoon was
the 3-year-old trot- 1t was, altogether,
one of the most spectacular races of the
meeting, so far, and the charge of
crooked work in the third heat rather
tended to intensity the interest.
Glory Quayle was the favorite in the
first heat, her figures being 81 of the
bookmaker'S money against 81 of the
customers. Watson was held at to l,
Wilbor at to 1, and Ota Lou at to /.
Glory Quayle managed to pull out the
victory in a hard finish. with Ota Lou
at her sulky wheel.
In the second heat, somebody had ev-
identity started fire under Glory
Quayle, for in spite of her victory in
1 the first heat her price stayed at 1 to
2, while Watson was advanced to 2 to 2.
And Watson had done no better than
| fourth in the preceding heat. The bet
ting was decidedly queer and indica-
ted that somebody was pulling wires.
Watson won the heat in the closest
kind of driving finish, Glory Quayle
being only a nose in the rear.
The third heat was the one declared
invalid.
| In the fourth heat, all the betting was
with Watson. 1t cost IS to bring out
each dollar of the bookmaker's money
Glory Quayle was going begging at to

way and winning by two lengths. 1t
served to substantiate the ruling of the
judges regarding heat No. 3.

| BLIND HORSE AN EASY WINNER.
] Jim Underwood, the blind horse owned
! by Monte S. Campbell of Topeka, had
| things all his own way in the PIG trot.
He justified the prophecy made by eS-
Mayor Albert Parker just before the
race. Mr.. Parker said: Jim Under
wood can go faster than anything
around in these parts. He can go back
east and trot with the best of them, and
make it interesting"
The bookmarkers sold Underwood at

but this lasted only few minutes.
