Just before leaving Beechwood. Col.

ciated Press, which follows:
Nov that we are happily married,
do not care how difficult divorce

sympathize heartily with the most
straight-laced people in most of their
ideas, but believe remarriage should
be made possible, as marriage is the
happiest condition for the individual
and the community"

ments the fair was great success, the

The Races Yesterday.
The two harness events yesterday
and the running race proved three OF
the prettiest of the fair, because OF
equality of several Of the horses. So
close was one of the heats in the 2:2O
pace that the race between two of the
horses for second place was declared
a dead heat by the judges and the driv.
ers allowed to draw for second and
third place. In every heat at least
two of the horses were so close during
the mile trip that it was hard matter
to tell which would cross the line first.
Four horses were entered in the
first harness event, the 2:20 pace. Bill
Curtis, the fast horse belonging to
Cooley Cooper of Princeton Mo-, won
in three straight heats. Billy c., the
racer belonging to C. H. Shifflet OF Mil
ton, Ia, and Onward B., the steady
PAGER of l.. H. Best of La Harpe, ILL.,,
were tied for second place and split
second money. It was these two horses
that crossed the line at the same time
in the second heat. In the draw for
the second and third places, Billy c.,
won second place. Nancy H.. the
fourth entry, was the rear horse IN all
of the three heats, but since there
were only four entries, she took fourth
money. The time for the three heats
was 2:21, 1922 IA and 1928 ga, respec-
lively.
Comet Win Trot.
The Comet, owned by E. G. Willard
of Burlington, also won three straight
heats in the 2:25 trot, while Harry
Hillwood, belonging to William Nc
Henry of Memphis, Mo-. crossed the
line second in the three heats, and
Axtien, owned by J. H. Green Of Mem
phis, Mo-, took third. The last horse
broke in every heat and thus lost
his chance of winning. The time Tor
he three heats was 1922 "a, 2:21 IL
md 2:24 "a The purse Of 5000 for this
ace was divided among the three
starters according to their placing |
rhe purse for the pace was $500.
The running race, one-half mile ana
'epeat, found only two starters, The
Nate, owned by Mrs. Ben Morrison OF
1eokuk, and Chas. Lusk, the gallope-
If A. A. Gingrich of Galesburg, III. The
nate won both events but by neck
,nly, in 81 IL and 81 IA seconds.
Leinhauser Starter.
P. E. Leinhauser, of Ottumwa, who
has figured in horse racing for more
han twenty-one years, was the start
AZ If the races during the four days.
But yesterday he found himself up
against tough proposition, one which
1e declares he has never faced before,
