 Cowboy relay race. two miles, change horses at each half First heat won by Tommy Rice. Bud Burris second, Oscar Roberts third. | Other Events. | There was a half mile pony race with six entries that was as good as an event on Indian day, the lads beating their mounts on the back all the way round. The winner was not announced The same was true of the daily burro race, there being thirteen animals in the field. Two of them could not be persuaded to start at all. Crowley's mount tried to- get through the paddock gate again but unnecessarily and he either won or tied with somebody and nobody seems to know who or which, nor does it make any difference.
 Gaited Horses. Prof. Wilson of the agricultural eX- pertinent station judged the gaited horses on the inner track during the harness races. The winner was q beautiful black horse owned by Col Epes Randolph of Tucson, q Kentucky bred and trained saddler. Second prize went to a black horse, Coro- nadO, owned by Sam Barkley of Tue son. There were two other entries owned by two more of the Barkley brothers. An explanation is due Prof. Wilson. The prize ribbon in this event was yellow, blue ribbon second. When he pinned the blue ribbon on the Barkley horse a pro- test went up from the grand stand which thought at the time it was the badge of precedence. The judge knew his business just as well as the grand stand did-and better. The explana- ton was made by Announcer Rube Sheilds.
 Cowboy Relay Race.
 The first leg of the cowboy relay race was also run during the after noon. Bud Burris with the Gibson string, Tom Rice with the Heard | string, and oscar Roberts with his own string, were the entries. Two | miles, change at each half. Oscar | lost by a fall in the first change and | never caught up. Tom Rice made a | fine getaway and kept increasing his I good luck with every change, winning 1 over Burris by an eighth of a mile | and Oscar some distance further be- | hind. The time was 4:45 for the two l miles.
 Miscellaneous.
 An auction sale of the Tiffany | stock was announced for Thursday | morning at the fair grounds.
 Rube Sheilds was strictly in his | element and his feats of magic are | no less marvellous than his trick rid | ing and his old chestnuts warmed ! over and served hot and delicious as new ones ever could be. Besides he | puts in lot of new dope along with l. it every day. Rube is all right and ! has the grand stand with him. He | did Some great stunts yesterday and | will have a lot more today.
 The Arship.
 The airship made no morning flight yesterday but the afternoon as tension was surely as perfect an ex- hibition as any one will ever see. The ship rose higher and faster and sailed back and forth across the grounds to the four points of the compass. Knowing the gas bag to be 112 feet | long and judging it's altitude by the measurement of it's length, it was fully 1000 feet above the earth. Not pebble of any kind occurred and the airship went as smoothly as a boat cutting the water. See it again this afternoon
 Today's Program.
 There is apt to be a lot of mis- about today's program, by many, as it was worked over sev- eral times last night. The auto driv- CTS said they could not appear after the harness races as it was so dusty | they could not see and they wanted the track so thoroughly wet an hour or two before that it would inter fere with the horses. It was finally | decided to postpone all the harness events but one. which could not be | stopped under the rules. the 2:12 trot, and begin that promptly at 12:30. The heats will be alternated with motor cycle races The track will then be wet down and given a rest until the events begin.
 The three-year- pacing race will be given Thursday. A running race and perhaps the ladies' relay race will be given this afternoon after the finish.
 . The automobiles will be a wonder full feature today. Late yesterday several of them took trial spins around the track. The Rio Bird made it's fastest mile in 1:02 and the Grey hound made it in 1:OS&. There will be some real speed exhibitions today.
 Today will also be w. c. T. U. day at the fair grounds and Mothers day There will be a mothers meet ing under the auspices of the Crit tenton Home in the big Rest tent at the fair ground at II o'clock.
 Many expressions of appreciation have been rendered the women in charge of the rest tent for it's privil- eges and also for the tank of cool water which is constantly provided Tor visitors. t1
 Tonight a grand exhibition of fire works will be given at the fair grounds in front of the grand stand. E The admission at the gate will be 25c e,
