| Concerning More or Less Universal | Misapprehension Regarding Hazel | Patch.)
 Tn First Terrytoryle Fair is over. an everybody's had a good time an ! learned a Whole Lot. That's what Fairs is fur. They is pleasant Edu- casnhule Instytushuns where we find out things at we cuddent learn mo- where's else.
 But nobody can learn everything, even about Fair, where tn Lessons is so easy. They's always somebody | at goes away Misinformed about I know all about what was at tn Fair, but I found out some things at some otherns didn't. Frinstance, about Ha- gel Patch, tn Beautifle Pacer. My Paw, he sez it's our Dooty not to Keep everything to ourselfs, but to Share our Nollidge with Otherns sos 'at tn' Worldll be Happier an Wiser. Theys been more misconstruckshun about this here Hazel Patch n any thing else they was at tn Fair. Most everybody wanted to treet Hazel like Sister. Yisterd.ly man what escaped frum his Keepers started acrost tn trax an run again Hazel who was a comin' down tn stretch at Two something Gate an both of 'em Rolled in tn Dust. Tn fokes they all Yelled Arrest him!" Did you see that Army chest Assolt Hazel an throw her down? Somebody Capcher tn Broot before he gifts away rum tn seen of his crime After tn Races was over everybody was Hurrawin' fer + gel an tn New Trax rekkerd of 2 five an a IA an tellin' now she done it.
 A Girl that was named Genny- veev in tn Grand Stand, she sez to two otherns whose names was Gladdus an Gwendoline, she sez Come on, Girls, les go down to tn Stables an see that Deer Hazel Patch. I loved her tn Moment she come out on tn TraX. She's jist tn Sweetest Horse at I ever seen."
 Gladdus, she sez All rite; fer she's a Bird"
 Gwendoline, sne sez, What a Pretty Name she's got. She must be some bodys Pet or they wuddent a gave her sich a Lovely Name"
 Tn Girls they all went to tn Sta bles. but they didn't stay long an Gladdus she come out a Laffin an Exclaimed An her Name was Maude. Say, Girls, we been handed a Gold Brick. I wonder at they didn't call him Sarah or Emmyline or Samanthy or somethin' like that. 'Spose they'd named him Susan instid of Hazel Patch. Ha. ha! ha! Its too funny fer anything Wuddent it'd a been Crate, Susan Patch MISS Susan Patch"
 Gwendoline, she sez "Th' Cognomen of that Horse is most Misleedin," an Gennyveev, she sez Its a very Un- propriata Appleashun. I should think i'd a Occurred to 'em to call him John or Joseph. Frank or Dick, either woG!d a-been a good name fer that there Horse who's only a Racin Ami mile after all.'
 They was two little Girls in tn Grand Stand when tn Races was be- gun an wun of 'em, she never seen a Race before an didn't know how horses was drove When Hazel Patch was brought out wUn of tn little Girls she sez to tn othern, 70. Bertie. here comes Hazel I seen her last Toosday when I was here"
 When Hazel Patch was drove up in frunt of tn Judges Stand tn other little Girl, she says, 70, Minnie, jist see Mister Patch. If ile ain't a settin' on HazeTs Tale. It looks CroOl. I wonder whatever he does that fer. I shuddent think she could run atall that way
 Minnie, she scz 70, yes; she can run faster'n she could if her Tale was loose, fer when I was here Toosday I heered my Paw say at a Horse what
