There will be meeting of the mem

make next years fair the best given
In Columbia. At the meeting OF the

creased for trotting and pacing races
and Mr. Thomas is of the opinion that
this will make much better racing and
will very materially improve the fair
Under the rules adopted Tuesday
the minimum purse for the 2:30 trot-
ting PAGES will be $500 while for the
2:25 pacing races the minimum was
fixed at $500 The minimum for all
trotting and pacing races was fixed at

next year that were offered last year
the additional amounts will cost the |

CAR SHORTAGE CAUSED DELAY
But Work on New Structure 10
Being Pushed Rapidly As
Possible.

The travelling public along the Mt.
Pleasant pike are up against a propo-
sition at the crossing of Little Bigby.
The bridge at that point has been
torn down and people are obliged to
cross, if they cross at all, at the al
most impossible ford The ford on
the far side of the creek from Colum-
bia is impossible for loaded wagons
and it is with difficulty that unloaded
wagons and lighter vehicles are able
to get to town.
Some months since the County
Court appointed committee, COM
posed OF Esqs F. NJ. Ricketts,, C. s.
Jackson, r. II. Guest, e. E. Erwin
and NJ. T. VOORHEES,, to let contracts
for the erection of steel bridges across
both Little Bigby and Big Bigby
creeks on the Mt. Pleasant pike.
These contracts were let to Vim
CHIMES. Ind, company and specified
that the contracts We're to be COM
pleted by Nov LIST. Had these con-
tracts been completed within the time
specified, there would have been no
with the heavy travel
about Christmas time, and the work
would have been done at time when
the roads were in good condition and
the creeks would have been easily
by nearly any character OF
vehicle whether loaded or unloaded
The contracts, however, had clauses,
as all contracts for heavy work con-
tain, providing that the bridge COM
)any should not be held liable for
strikes, car shortage, and delays over
which the company had no control.
rhe car shortage in September and
October prevented the shipment OF
he bridge structures, and II was only
asst week that the bridges arrived at
Ridley and were hauled to their re-
locations. Work began
Monday and the outlook Is that it
will be at least ten DAYS before the
work is completed, and in the mean
ime the people living between the
wo bridges will have to grin and
ear it.
