MORE INTEREST IS SHOWN
Second Day of the County Fai,
Brought Out a Larger Crowd.
ND a W.. Good
and the Sport Was Good.

The attendance at the county fair
Wednesday afternoon brought a
higher hope in the breasts of the
promoters when they saw the grand
stand filled to its capacity, people
strung out over the grounds and a
number of carriages inning the fence
around the judges stand. The fair
took on more of a look of success
and the people showed a greater
interest in it.
The balloon ascension again failed
to take place. Areonaut Johnson
declined to initiate his balloon with
the wind blowing SO hard, and con-
seQuently there was a disappoint-
ment to the crowd. This is John
sons last day to get into the air.
While the fair closes today there will
be the big ball game tomorrow after
noon between Sioux City and Omaha
and that promises to bring out the
largest crowds Of the week. Both
teams are playing gilt-edge ball and
the two contests will be worth going
some distance to see. Furchner will
pitch in one of the games . but
which one has not been decided up
on.
The first race on the program was
the free-for-all, in which there were
three starters, the four others hav-
ing been scratched just before the
race was called.
There was nothing to the race but
|Gilded Lady, and she took the three
heats one after the other. Sam
Scratch and Billy Gerts were the
other contenders, but not for first
and they had a pretty fight for Sec
ond. Gilded Lady paced a mile at
the state fair last week in 2:14 and
she was going to try and break the
record here, but there was nothing
on the grounds to send her to the
mark. She took the heats in 2:21,
2:2Ok, 1929.
The running race was quite an
exciting affair and was run by a
field of horses. The feature
of the race was the riding of a fe-
male jockey, Miss Dorotha Kincel,
who rode the Mernaugh mare in the
race. The young lady is about Is
years old and she sits astride her
mount with all the confidence inn
aginable and rides her steed through
the ace with much skill. The
young lady was seated in the grand
stand during the heats Of the other
races and when her horse was lead
out on the track the fair little jock
ey got up and walked out to the
track, although but few of the spec
tators imagined that she was such
Ia turf enthusiast. That Dorotha was
a Jockey of no mean ability was
shown when the horses were sent
off in the first heat, for she got
away at least two lengths when the
word vas given, and she rode her
mount to a winner, coming in on the
bit. In the second heat Miss Kincel
lost the heat on a foul claimed by
the rider of Waukapange. who claim
ed that she fouled him. The foul
was allowed and Dorotha was set
back to second place. The third
heat was the prettiest race ever run
on the grounds within the memory
of anybody, when Miss Kincel and

AROUND The CORN PALACE

ator Robe is working out on the e
terror OF the building. They stand
out with great c%learness with the
different colored corn used to mark
them. The promise that the build
ing will be more beautiful than ever
will be abundantly made good. The
towers are all finished and the men
are working on the sides Of the
building.
Floyd ellis and Dick Stultz are
very competent aides of Decorator
Robe. 1t is their task to transfer
the designs to the surface of the
building for the men to cover with
corn. Inability to draw we'll would
mai the designs. and ellis is par
ticularly we'll qualified for this class
of work. which he has been study
ing over at the University for sew
eral years. Some of his handiwork
was seen In the Tumbleweed book
issued by the juniors of the institu-
ton and 1t was remarked upon as
being excellent. Mr.. Robe speaks
very highly OF the young mems work
and he 6nds them very Industrious
and willing to aid in every possible
way.
For the first time in the history
OF the palace there will be no wo-
mems display at the palace building,
the gallery having always been left
for them to decorate. This year the
gallery will be devoted to agricul-
tural exhibits and business displays,
which will be something Of a change
from former years.
At least fifteen counties and per-
haps more will display their agri-
cultural products In the palace
building. This is the big feature
Of the palace and the committee
has this year decided to offer some
good prizes for the counties making
the best exhibit. The drst prize
will be $40. the second $50 and
the third $50. Each county that
makes an exhibit will be presented
with $35. The strife will be keen
among the counties for the first
place. and the Judges will have a
hard time in making a selection,
for they : all going to send their
best stun to the corn palace. The
first prize will be worth a great deal
in the matter of advertising.
There will be free street attract
ions every day during the corn pal
ace week and when there is nothing
doing in the corn palace there will
be something going on somewhere
on Main steet. The vaudeville acts

the time away in an entertaining
