The five mile motorcycle race was
the class Of the day, and amply
made up for the slow time made by
the horses. There were seven start
lers, but on account Of trouble with
their machines, Selle, Brown, Freder-
ick and Kirkman were forced to drop
out Lefore tho finish. Speck War
ner, Hars and Tinnemeyer finished
in the order named, the leader ne.
gotiating the five miles in nine min
utes and forty'three seconds, AN Of
the contestants put up a good race,
t6ut none OF them had had the exper-
ience Of the Ellsworth boy and could
not make the turns at the speed he
did. Warner Is a rural mail carrier
out of his home town, and went
back and forth from here to Ellsworth
during the fair, covering his mail
route in The fOrenoons. He is a
rider Of considerable note, having
won a number of races at the big
fairs over the slGte, and has a rec
ord Of mile in ITO over a half mile
track.
The second motorcycle race of the
day was five mile pursuit race, in
which the riders were started at
equal distances around the track and
as a man was passed by another rid
er he had to drop out of the race.
There wer. :. entries in this event,
but Selle again had trouble with his
machine, as did also Hans, and War
ner, Brown and Frederick finished
in the order named.

AS the day previous the motor
cycle iaces ON Friday were Of high
class, and the five mile course was
covered IN the remarkable time of
'even minutes and fifty-six seconds.
In order to make the race more in
teresting, Warner gave the other rid
ers a lead of haH lap but at that
mad ~ trouble in finishing in front,
with Selle, Brown, Tinnemeyer and
Frederick following in the order as
amen While trying out his ma
chine just before this race, Brown
suffered a fall on the south turn
while going at a very high rate Of
speed, but fortunately was not injur-
ed. Tne spill evidently did not af-
feet his nerve frf he continued IN
the race, and was a strong contend.
er for first place all the way.
Mr.. Warner, the speed merchant,
essayed one mile against time, and
circled the track twice in the brief
time o: 1:12 4-5. Considering that
the track is scarcely banked at all
on the turns, the performance was
certainly q remarkable oen.
In tie five mile pursuit race the
Ellsworth 10y again took down first
money, witn Selle, Brown and Fred
erick all fighting for position until
the las lap.
There we're a number Of pony and
other races, the Shetland Pony race
