Had Marrow Escape.

The mysterious Raffles. who has
botheFd the people of Davenport for
some time and whose identity has not
yet been discovered, has an able rival
in this city. Last evening one of the
young men of the city spent several
hours at the exposition grounds roam
ing around in the guise of a young
lady, and his makeup was so good
that no. one suspected him for an in
slant. He was in the company of sew
eral of the leading society girls of the
city and they were meeting innumer-
able friends all the time, but the iden-
tity of the stranger was not suspected
in the least. His voice, however, was
his one weak point, and he had to
keep very still while his friends car
ried on the conversation. The COM
pany of three had their picture taken
on a postcard, and the man who took
the pictures tried very hard to enter
into a conversation with the disguised
+ young man, but without success A
large number of other young men were
somewhat smitten. also. and many
sought an introduction, but without
success.
| Had Narrow Escape.
The young man revealed his identity
to several of his friends who belong TO
the newspaper fraternity, and they
tried to complete the lark by having
policeman of their acquaintance make
a fake arrest After searching half an
hour for the policeman, they took him
around the grounds of the exposition
three times trying to spot the disguis-
ed man, but he had mysteriously dis
appeared, and the officer began to be-
iieve his newspaper friends were put
ting up a joke on him. The fake girl
carried the lark through to a finish,
and got home safely without anyone
discovering who the stunning young
woman was

Auto Race = Fine Carriage
Horses in Competition.

Rock Island this afternoon won the
hub and hose wagon race, scoring
the second triumph of the week in
easy fashion. The first run of an
eighth of mile was run by Moline
and Davenport, the former winning.
Rock Island then contested with the
victor, running on the outside and
pulling away from the start, coming
under the wire nearly city block
ahead.
The attendance this afternoon at the
Exposition is approximately 5000 and
the officers hope this evening to see
the greatest record made at Cedar
Rapids last week equaled.
The Rock Island fire department

of the hose. The first man TO get of
the flying wagons with the free enc
of the hose was usually rolled on tn,
ground several times on account of thu
high speed at which the teams wer,
going but they were on their feet il
an instant each time and hard at worl

it not been for the failure of til

contestants until ii was found tia
they had slipped up in their hurry
The Rock Island Centrals covered TIL

Saturday.
One motor cycle race took place yes
terday and Fred Huyck, the holder OF
the worlds record for one mile, won
the race easily. The course was five
miles and there Were three entries.
Fred Huyck on his Indian racer COW
cred it in minutes 5S 2-5 seconds,
which is little over a mile a minute
clip. Considering the fact that the
track is but a half mile track this is
remarkable time. F. A. Schontz Of
Chicago riding Harley Davidson
machine was second, and Fred Barr on
another Indian was third The motor
cycles are giving some great exhibit
tions of speed and are attracting con-
siderable attention.
ROsenfieId Car Wins.
w. A. Rosenfield's Peerless car won
the three mile race for automobiles
yesterday The car was driven b.
Martin Goblin, whose time for the
course was minutes and 90 seconds
Peter Petersen of Davenport was sec
ond in a Pope Hartford machine. Ar
accident to the engine of this car pre-
vented it from taking first place, As
it was well in the lead when it went
wrong and it nearly fell entirely Out
of the race. Third place was taker
by Robert Smythe's Mora car. TIL;
automobiles are little unwieldy fol
the track and while they make fas
| time they interfere with each other Il
such an extent that none of them car
really do their best. Races in the
future for the automobiles will prob
ably be against time which will give
each car a clear course.
Carriage Horses Shown.
Only one class of horses was eX
hibited yesterday it being class o
carriage horses. Four excellent team
were entered in the contest for thu
blue ribbon and it was finally awarded
to Laddie Boy and Cavalier, owned b,
