HILLSBORO FAIR
GREAT SUCCESS

day of the big county fair at Hillsboro
was a hummer. Over 1000 turned out
to see the closely contested races and
the many other attractive features.
The feature of the fair yesterday
was the exciting ten-mile motorcycle
race, in which Henry Lundbeck of
Grand Forks came near deaths door,
when his machine skidded on the hair
pin turn at the west end of the course,
throwing him fifteen feet. He was not
injured and resumed the race again.
Pretty Riding.
One feature that brought the big
crowd to it's feet and which drew
great applause was the beautiful rid
ing of Miss Dorothy Dalrymple in the
pony running race Three ponies were
entered in the dash, Miss Dalrymple.
on Jane Lorentz on Babe n Lylte
on Prince. From start to finish the
half-mile dash was a nip and tuck af-
fair between Jane and Babe. On the
stretch Miss Dalrymple pulled ahead
and came under the wire the winner.
Time, So seconds. It was one of the
prettiest attractions of the afternoon.
Other features Of the afternoon were
the 2:So and 2:os pace, the stock par
ade and the awarding of prizes.
The 1880 pace was a very close one.

The 200 pace was a pretty one. 1t
was a difficult one to start, but when
the signal had been given in each
case, some fine driving was exhibited.
Although Major Gantz took three sue
cessive firsts, he was hard pressed by
Bill Bailey every heat. The horses
finished as follows:
Major Gantz, Sanderson ..... 1 1 1

In the motorcycle race of twenty
laps the drivers finished as follows:
Vincent Smith, Grand Forks ....... 1
Fred Asheim, Hillsboro ............ 2
Henry Sandbeck. Grand Forks ..... 8
Time, 1910.
It was in this race that sandbeck
took his fearful looking tumble. Smith
and Sandbeck were going at a forty
mile clip around the turn. when
Sandbeck's machine swerved suddenly
and then skidded off the track. Sand
beck was thrown OF the grass on the
side of the track, just missing the
fences by a few feet. Outside of a few
bruises, he was not injured. The acct
dent brought the crowd to its feet with
a gasp which changed into an expires
sion of relief when it saw the deposed
rider get up and shake the dust out of
his hair.
One of the most pleasing exhibitions
during the afternoon between races
was the performance of the High
School horse, Lady, owned and man
n "a Any 80 T~-L
Forks. The graceful animal with Nc
Donald UP, did a perfect cakewalk
with all four feet in unison with the
music. Max and David, two handsome
dogs, also owned by Mr.. Mcdonald,
did a clever posing stunt while Lady
was going through her lessons.
The circus Thursday detracted from
the fair a great deal; but when 1t was
over almost 5000 people 1ocked out to
the fair grounds to see the events. The
races were as follows:
