RAIN WILL NOT
STOP FAIR RACES

erstoWn Track Which In

MANY EXHIBITS PLANNED
FAIR THIS YEAR WILL PROBABLY
BE THE BEST EVER ATTEMPTED
BY THE RoARD-GAMBLING A
THING OF THE PAST.

Last year the Hagerstown fair was
visited by heavy rains, which in the
language of the horsemen, crippled
the track" This year the management
of the fair says ''Iet it rain if the
weather man insists" 1t will take a
mighty hard rain to cripple" the
track this year. All around the track
a ditch twelve feet wide and twenty
four inches deep has been dug. This
drains the track perfectly.
Today the Hagerstown track is one
Of the best in the state and it is ex-
pected that during the races that will
be held in conjunction with the fair
some fast time will be made. Already
several crack running horses are on
hand and it is expected that as soon
as the Lima race meet is concluded
there will be a number of fast horses
shipped toHagerstown.
Racing events will be held every day

these events promises to be the ladies'

have already entered this event and
there will be several Hagerstown wo-
men in 1t. The conditions of this race
permit each entry to have a man lead
the horse upon the track and hold the
shafts. The woman who harnesses
up her horse and gets around the track
first wins.
An attractive feature of the fair will
be the floral and fine arts exhibits.
Already the floral hall IS a bower of
beauty and there are enough exhibits
on hand to make it most attractive.
The Starr Piano company will have a
large exhibit of various grades of pi-
amos.
Officers of the fair are now busy
stalking off spaces for thestands and
shows without which no county fair
would be a complete success. All
shows on the grounds the manage
ment guarantees will be strictly moral.
The fair this year will not be draw

ers of games of chance as Hagerstown
was recently engulfed by the temper
ance wave, all of it's saloons being
wiped out of existence. With the sa-
looms went the gambling games which
used to thrive in them during fair
week.

Denver, Colo, July 20.-The Tam
many delegation which took in the ma
| tional here and then went to Yellow
stone park, returned Sunday with a
good story Of their experience with
Alice Roosevelt Longworth in the ma
E'tional park.
The Tammany stages were rolling
along when they saw cloud of dust
and presently heard emerging from it
the words of their favorite song, Tam
many" When the coaches met they
found Mrs. LongWorth leading her
companions in song. The delighted
delegates gave the Tammany yell, and
Mrs. Longworth, Selling her husbands
cane, sprang from her coach, called
out the singers, made them form in
line, and, with the Tammany crowd
around the stages, twirling the cane
and singing Tammany at the top of
her voice.
Other songs followed, and when all
grew weary of the exertion they sat
down and rehearsed their experiences
at Denver.
Congressman Longworth did not
sing, but sat on the front seat of his
coach smiling over the performance.

GOES TO FIFTEENTH
Cambridge City Grays Defeat
Dayton in Extra Inning
Contest.
MANY THRILLING FEATURES

Cambridge City, Ind, July 2a-The
most thrilling game in the base ball
line this season was the one pulled off
at Capital Hill park yesterday after
noon, when the Grays slipped one ov-
er on the Larks. city champions Of
Dayton, O., in the fifteenth round, and
won the game by a score of 10 Z
Conner was chosen to pitch for the
local bunch and seemed to have it all
over the visitors until in the sixth
frame he strained himself in an at
tempt to field ball and seemingly
weakened, allowing 5 clean bingles,
which gave the visitors six runs in
this one session. Boyd was put on the
mound in the seventh and pitched a
grand game. He had the Westing-
house on all the while and had it not
been for center fielder Weaver drop
ping fly in the eighth he would have
held the Buckeye lads scoreless. The
Grays added two runs to their side of
the score sheet in the eighth and tied
the score. From this time until the
last of the fifteenth neither side was
able to cross the pan, although the
locals had several chances. 1t was in
this frame that Hamilton singled to
left. Weaver sacrificed, Hamilton
taking second and third and then
home on wild heave to the third cor
ner, and so ended the long nerve rack
ing event. The visitors played a good
game in the field and We're the hard
est hitting bunch that has been on ex-
hibition here this season.
1t was half day full of exciting sit
uations and real base ball amusement.
The Grays are surely going a merry
clip. Cicero will play next Sunday

DICKENS PHRASES.
The Extent to which They Have
'Made Language"

.Made Language"
Since Shakespeare no writer has
made language" to the extent that
Dickens has done, and the number Of
common colloquiaiisms taken from his
novels and which everybody uses ev-
cry day is the outstanding proof of
the success with which he has appeal
ed to the Imagination of the nation.
How often one hears "Barkis Is will

House of Commons Air,

In summer time the air used for ven
tilating the house of commons in Lon
don passes through blocks of ice. In
winter it is heated. In fog the outer
air passes through layers of cotton
wool six inches thick. During forty
eight hours of fog the cotton wool on
one occasion was as black as the back
Of chimney. Thanks to these pre-
cautions, the house has been absolutely
free from mist, and the atmosphere is
in normal condition while a dense fog
prevails outside. The normal temper
allure of the house of commons is kept
at the level of GO degrees except in
sultry weather, when 1t is raised to 6J
degrees.

Ancient Thomas Parr.

Thomas Parr lived 152 years and was
buried in Westminster abbey. Born in
Shropshire, England, in 1883, Parr led
the life of an agricultural laborer in his
native place till blindness and extreme
old age kept him indoors. Early in
1885, his longevity having made him
famous, Thomas, earl Of Arundel,
took him to London to be exhibited
to Charles 1. He was lodged in the
Strand, but the change of air and diet
told upon him, and in November of that
same year he died. He was described
as good looking man of medium size,
with a deep chest and a thick beard.
He attributed his excellent health to
moderation in eating and drinking.
