FAIR PROVES
BIG ATTRACTION
Attendance Is Estimated To Be Larger than eve1
Before in History of the Association.

horses are here and the time made
in all races has been very good.
In the 3-year-old race on Tuesday,
special mention must be made of the
surprising manner in which Harry
Helms great young horse, Governor
Wilson, went away with the race IN
two heats, the best time being 2:294.
Governor Wilson afterwards had
wreath presented to him at the track
by the ladies and posed for his
photo.
S. M. Wills, the veteran of Wi
baux, is also present with his string
and has captured good money, al
though he has not been fortunate
enough to secure any frsts.
The ladies' relay race has only
two entries this year, Mrs. Benning
and an Indian girl. The first day
Mrs. Benning was the winner, but
yesterday the Indian maiden dis
played more ginger in her mounts
and ended the day some three Sec
onds ahead in the race 40 far. Con-
siderable interest is felt in the result
of the race, and no doubt a good
deal of money has changed hands on
the final outcome.
The other races have been good
throughout. with nothing to be de-
sired in the way of genuine sport.
Auctioneer Baird has officiated as
starter, proving himself an adept in
that line. The fair will close today
amid much enthusiasm.
Governor Wilson, the famous
little horse belonging to Harry
Helms, went a mile against time
at the Fair Thursday afternoon. The
mile was made in 2:23 flat, which
shows what may be expected of the
Governor later on.
The ladies' relay race today was
ended with Miss Maize Langie, the
Indian girl, as the winner. Her
total time for the race was 19:341a,
while that of Mrs. Benning was
20:1O. The time of Miss Langie for
the three days was $50, 6:25 and
6:23. with that of Mrs. Benning
6:44, 6:31 and 6:55. Great enthuei-
asm accompanied the finish of the
event today.

APPRECIATION

AS I have just returned from my
greatly appreciated trip through the
Yellowstone Park will thank my many
friends for making me the winner in

that the collision happened so close to
