creations of science, and hereafter
aerial races will probably take the palm
over any other class of contests-unti
hey in turn are made obsolete through
other inventions.
The Auto Races.
The automobile races this afternoon
we're a great matter of interest To the
big crowd which came to the grounds
after dinner. So many people now owr
autos and there is so great rivalry
between the various makers that there
was more real personal interest In
these races than perhaps any of those
speed events which had preceded them
These races include contests for ma
chimes costing up to $1,000; machines
selling at $3.50; priced at $1,75O and
$500 machines and up to the time OF

machines that could both go and stand

speed contests.
Good Crowd at the Close.
There were probably ten to fifteen
thousand people on the grounds this
afternoon, the exceptional sport pro,
;ramme and the presence Of the state
roops having drawn like mustard
plaster.
The troops marched on the grounds
shortly after the noon hour, headed by

we're turned out for regimental drill

GUS evolutions most creditably.
AT the end of the drill the dress

Motor Cycle Race.
The motor cycle race this afternoon
Eas a hummer from the word go and
rrought the people UP to a high pitch
excitement. There is something
bout the rapid pace of the little chug
'agons which cannot help but arouse

tart to finish was one continuous
iece Of interest. One after another

'oked a sure winner only to fall back
erhaps to third place on the next Lap.
