Semi-weekly herald., 1908-10-01


is on. The first day was very graft.
Tying both in program, exhibits and
crowd. Since the exhibits will be
handled at another time and in de
tail, we may state in passing that the
fruit and vegetables on exhibition this
year make fine. display. Many per-
sons consider the fruit exhibit as the
largest and best we have ever had.
AS we have heard so much this past
summer in regard to the poor fruit
crop, such display comes as a great
surprise to many.
Long before 2 o'clock yesterday aft.
ernoon the grand stand was twothirds
full of people, patiently waiting for
the program to commence. They were
very good-natured and with apparent.
~ nothing to do but be happy, and
get as much fun out of their sur
f0undings a. possible. Colored bal
looms noated here and there above the
peoples heads, Occasionally pea
nut hull. aimed wide of the mark
struck the unwary with varying re-
suits. Boys offered you all sorts of
things; all kinds Of candy and chew
ing gum. pennants. miniature feather
busters, riding whips to suit your 20
lftical faith, and trinkets of all kinds
both ornamental and the reerse.
All at once the gentlemen who had
haan for
in the judges stand, separated, and
A. r. Springer rang the bell as If he
meant business. Nobody paid much
attention at first, but as Mr.. Springer
kept 1t up, part of the crowd looked
to see what he meant. Then some
one sang out Twenty minutes for
lunch!" followed by Dinner! Last
call for the dining carl" Didn't make
: any difference to A. R. He rang some
more and the crowd was quiet. Their
the program began.
The half-mile Indian buck race was
the first event. This proved to be
veF interesting-the gray and the
black coming in neck and neck The
judges declared tie and the race
was run over later, the gray horse
winning by nose.
In the one mile driving race there
were the following entries: Arropine
by J. w. Morgan, Duggan by William
Bostwiok, Roam Dick by W. Basher,
Reward by B. r. Clifford. This race
was run in two heats, Reward taking
first money; Arropine second, and Dug.
gan third. The time in both heats
was 2:36.
The three-eighths mile dash was
pretty race. For this there were six
entities: Coneache by Lee Brown
Wmnogene by w. A. Burnham. Rags
by Chas. Jackson. Rose by j. B. Pat
terson, Frank NJ. by Hugh Allen and
Cold Deck by w. c. Likes. Rose
came in first, Coneache second, Winno
gene third. Time :37.
Everyone found the squaw races
very amusing. and there was enthusi-
astic betting on the purple, the blue,
or the red. One young and pretty
Bquaw wore some beautiful bead work
She was evidently fixed for the occa-
sion, and was interested in her finery
that she lost the race.
There were FIVE entries in the FIVE.
eighths mile running: Fanchion by
Jesse Haller, Rose by ]. B. Patterson.
Mohawk by J. L. Hunt, Buck by F.
Martinez, Carbon by Theo. Duncan.
Rose again captured first prize, Mo-
hawk second and Carbon third. Time
1905.
The Indian relay race was good
Two of the riders made the changes
very rapidly, but the third was slow
and clumsy The crowd did their
best to hurry him up but did not sue
ceed to any great extent. Henry, as
the crowd called him, was starting on
the last lap, when the other riders
were yaihin thirty feet Of the goal
But he made the round just the same
The last event was the chicken
pulling which was amusing and ir
some Instances good work.
