HAYSEEDS' FROLIC
IN COUNTY FAIR
PROVESANEV
Two Hundred and Fifty Play
Ponies and Make Merry at
Rock Island Club.
ALL RUDE TYPES PRESENT
AeropIane Flight by Lamont Starts
Ball Of Fun Rolling and Young
and Old Join in the Farce.

Seems how corn was so good this
year, about $50 of the seediest looking
rubes that ever trod behind a one
horse pillow reckoned they'd go to the
county fair at the Rock Island CLUB
last evening. IL is only due to the
fact that the best material was used
in the erection of the building, that it
stands at Nineteenth street today, for
the merriment which bursted forth
there was sufficient to move an ordin-
airy Gibraltar into the Mediterranean
sea and pull the splash in after at the
same time.
There was something doing all the
time and every mans son of them
had the roll Of lucre to push things
along. II seemed as il every sub
treasury in this country had unloaded
its Golfers into the Rock Island club,
for every hayseed was stocked TO the
shOestrings with long green.
Fun began well at the beginning
A large canopied entrance to the
grounds on the second floor OF the
club opened into the main show.
Among the first stunts pulled off was
the fight of Ben d. Lamont in a Cur
tiss hydro-aeroplane. The fight had
been greatly advertised, and the rubes
gathered about the frisky-looking de-
vice as Lamont gave the word TO his
mechanician. Like a bird he sailed
heavenward and the tillers Of the soil
watched him until he was lost in the
clouds. At press time Ben had not re-
turned
on THE TRACK.
The early part of the fair was given
over TO races. Horses stepped over
the turf in lightning time. The first
event-a potato race-was tight one.
Carrying with il a purse Of s742G.25.
the drivers urged their animals TO the
limit CT speed. $. r. Spencer won this
event by a neck. the following finish
ing close behind the winner: W. J .
Sweeney, Tom Murray, Mr.. Carpen-
ter of Rockford. and II. ID. Winbigler.
The second race. with purse equal
~ as large, was easily won by John
r. Shields against a field of six start
ers. Several were disqualified in this
event for failing to drink the water
out of the spoon aud attempted to get
by by drinking directly from the
glasses. but the eagle eyes Of judges
put them on the blink The others
starting were Arthur Burial. August

the half-mile. T. D. O'Hara at the
three-quarters. and J. T. Shields at the
home stretch, had difficulty in main
tanning their equilibrium when partici-
pants in a three-legged contest col
lided with them repeatedly. William
Toal and A. J. Lindstrom COPIED the
honors.
The climax in the racing events
came in the peanut race, when ]. E.
Clarkson was the only survivor to
finish, all Of the rest having drawn the
distance flag, some even at the eighth
mile station. The entries were as fol-
lows, according to the bookies: W. A.
Martin. c. A. Schoessel, A. Z. Adams,
Z. J. Stackhouse and W. P. Mullane.
The last race was the ''rip-snorter."
To see 10 grangers huskfng corn like
madmen was the signal for the hilar-
ceived it. A team composed of Charles
f. Sharpe, c. r. Nourse, H. H. Cleave-
land and NJ. H. Sexton had little trou-
BILE in putting il over on NJ. c. Rice's
bunch, composed OF himself, H. W.
Cozad, T. H. Dolly, H. w. Crawford
and II. S. Cable. Rice was given a
short journey on a rail by the victors
in celebration of their success.
THE SIDE SHOWS.
The fair grounds had many side at
fractions. For instance, there were
coops of chickens Gagged along the sides
OF the grounds, and live bears and
demonstrating creatures, all behind
the bars, caused much merriment. The
hackers of the fair did everything pos
sible for the convenience and safety
Of the guests. A sign was conspicu-
ously displayed: Watch your money
closely: IL may be counterfeit" Also,
'If you find any red likker, kindly no.
tlfy the constable" while the follow
ing warning: Don't fuss with the
chickens. you might start them cack-
| ling" warned those in attendance not

DEMAND new NOTES.
The Banks Do Not Take to Laundered
Money Readily.

Washington, Dec. 25.-To meet an
unexpected demand for notes Of small
denominations, Secretary McAdOO OF
the treasury department has appealed
to congress for an appropriation Of
S427.725 for use of the bureau Of en-
craving and printing. Should con-
gress fail to make the appropriation
the secretary says it will necessitate
a reduction in the bureaus force of
about 500 employees for the latter
half OF next year and make 1t neces-
sary to furlough without pay for ten
weeks the entire force of 1850 en-
ployees now engaged in the manufac-
ture of United States notes and gold
and silver certificates.
The situation has arisen, the secre-
tary says, because the banks of the
country have not taken favorably to
laundrying Of bank notes and re-
issuing them as new money. Last
year, 31,8S4,000 notes were sent to the
treasury for laundrying and this year
only 100000 have been received.
Secretary McAdoo says that 100000
900 will be required in the fiscal year
Of 1914. Z -.
An estimate sent to congress recent
Iy called for only 24O,O0O,OOO notes,
this estimate being made under the
apprehension that the reissue of
Numbered notes at the treasury would
regulate the demand for new notes.

BALKAN WAR IN sTEERAGE.
Bulgars, Turks and Others Fight II
All Over Again, Verbally.

When tine steamship Ausonia of the
Cunard Line, made fast to her pier the
officers OF the vessel gave mighty
sigh of relief, which increased in vol
ume as they saw the immigration
barges take away 1000 steerage pas
sengers. 50
1t was the first voyage of the Au-
sonia to this port and the officers do
not want another of a similar kind. for
they had to be forcible arbfters of a
verbally refought Balkan war which
lasted for eleven days. The dangers of
actual clashes were imminent at all
times. The immigrants were Bull
garians, Servians. Greeks. Turks and a
sprinkling of Hungarians. From the
moment the Ausonia started across the
Atlantic the different nationalities be-
gan the Balkan war all over again.
only this time with oratory. on the
high seas.
Finding that the white flag of truce
was having no effect among the pas
sengers the officers of the Ausonia
were obliged to segregate the different
nafiOnalties and have guards keep them
apart.-New York Tribune.
