FOrds Cars are Beauties.

The two Ford cars to be given away
by the Star-Mirror contest are the
latest models turned out by the ma
kers of this popular car. One of them

afternoon the fair was opened with
what many of the visitors attended tc
see, and that was a good horse race.
The 2:17 pace had four entries

man, and Glen c., and they finished
the first heat in the order named aft
er Norris, who was driving, made a
smacking drive down the stretch and
came in under the wire just ahead of
Bush's fast Dan L.
The time of the heat was so fast
that the officials refused to announce
it, an arrangement having been made
whereby it was agreed that these
races should not have an official
time, or they would otherwise bar the
horses entered from racing in their
present classification at the Spo-
kane fair. Unofficial time showed the
1916 mile done in 2:10.
Following the first heat of the 2:17,
a mile, driven for the best three in
FIVE, the half-mile run was staged.
This was taken by the Eel, who start
ed third, but pulled up on the stretch
and nosed out under the wire ahead of
Conspirator, and Nolya H., second and
third with Red Ranger and Lake Ia
hoe in the also ran division. Time so
seconds.
Robert Bingen broke early in the
took first by half his length, with
Glen c. second and Lottie Dishman
third. By hard drive Bingen was
brought up into the bunch at the close.
In the pony race Lou Kitley's pony
Bobbin was first.
By stepping away in the lead as
they came down the stretch in the
third, Dan l.. won the heat in the 2:17
pace in time that was unofficially
stated to be better than the first
heat. Lottie Dishman was second for
the heat and Glen c. third, with Robert
Bingen fourth.
Governor Hawley arrived at $3.50 and
made a brief speech from the press
box which was well received.
Governor Hawley congratulated the
people of the county on the fair
grounds and paid high tribute to the ,
spirit that made them possible. Local
jealousy. he declared had been hand
leap to Idaho and he urged the motto, /
Idaho for all and all for Idaho" He
was very hoarse and spoke briefly,
but he took time to pay high tribute
% the university. He received a great
ovation when he closed his brief ad-
iress.

turn in their subscriptions are going
to be badly disappointed, for this is
positively the biggest vote offer of
the whole contest, and we desire to
impress it upon your mind that now is
the time to roll up your majorities,
while you get triple votes on all sub
scriptions. Never before have sub
scriptions counted as they are count
ing now. The last week of the con-

will be issued as are issued this week.
We cannot make this too emphatic,

phasize this fact. Triple votes this
week and double votes next week will
be the closing order for this contest,
and under no circumstances will this
order of voting be changed.

this afternoon when the gates were
thrown open, but enough were in

year will surpass the fair of last year
