FINE RACING

Killing Contests Were Very interest.
ing. But Bull Doosinh ExhibI-
ton Was Tame.

With an attendance which reached
the six thousand mark. the annual out.
ing OF the Wheeling butchers Union
was held yesterday at the state fair
grounds. and the event proved the
largest and most enjoyable OF any ever
held by this live organization. There
was not dull moment during the en-
tire day as the entertainment commit
tee had previously arranged to have
something doing every minute of the
time spent at the grounds by the
pleasure seekers. Threatening skies
had tendency TO keep many away
before the noon hour. but after that
time II required scores OF extra cars
10 carry the crowd TO the grounds.
Not an event occurred TO mar the
pleasure OF the day. and the local
union is deserving OF much praise for
the decided success of the annual out
ing.
The only event on the program dur
ing the afternoon which did not come
up TO expectation was the bull dodg-
ing contest staged by Senior Enrique
Robes. champion bull fighter of Spain
and New Mexico. The event proved
tame one. but IL was not the fault
or the bull fighter by any means. The
butchers association and Senior
Robes exhausted every effort TO pur-
chase three of the widest steers in
this section of the country but they
were unsuccessful. The two widest
proved tame and for this reason Senior
Robes was not able TO put on his hest
exhibition. The bulls refused outright
TO even offer 10 fight. and the fighter
was unable TO get within forty feet
of one so excited was the animal. The
crowd fully understood the situation
and sympathized with the bull fighter.

system have not been completed. tho
engineer who was employed some
time ago to analyze the situation. is
perfecting his report and everything
will be in readiness for the installa-
ton OF the plant within a few days.
The system is the best that can be
obtained. II Is similar 10 the one in
use at Morgantown for the past If.

satisfactory. II is claimed there Is
as much sediment in the Mongahela
river as is found in Big Wheeling
