| and has not had to show against the
/ famous Belle Beach. Patrick could
not beat her. but he is next to her and
the undisputed second best show horse
in the United States.
To Have Night Show.
Already the fair officials are discus
sing the installation of electric lights
for next year and have an evening
program. This undoubtedly will 20
through. due to the financial success
or the present fair. Lights will be
strung all over the grounds and the
place put in first class shape for the
evening shows. Next year will prob
ably witness a horse show, fireworks
and vaudeville program.
Plans for next year call for the pip
ing OF city water to the fair grounds
The lack Of water this year was keenly
felt Thursday the wells went dry
early and soon it was practically in
possible to obtain anything TO drink
but fancy drinks. Yesterday water
was being hauled IN from outside to
even partially accommodate the de-
distraction to find sufficient water to
even wash dishes.
The city water plant broke down
Thursday afternoon and consequently
the entire town went dry and with
vengeance, too.
Out for the Money.
Friday was get-away-day and every
one was out to win all the money he
could in any manner. The 19 pace was
the first race of the day and was what
horse men term a horse killer. Two
Of the best PAGERS that have raced this
year went out of commission in this
Under a whipping finish Kellarville
Kid took the first heat from Ansll and
beat Little George the same way in the
second. II looked like the Kid would
head the summary in three heats, but
as they were heading into the stretch
for the third mile, something went
wrong and Kid went down in a heap.
He had lost all use of his hind legs for
short time. This is the first time
he has been beaten this year. In the
fourth heat Ansll went to bad break
at the end OF the first half and broke
his right ankle. The remaining heat
was easy for Little George. Lena D.,
second, and La Myrletta, third.
The same three horses started in the
free-for-all pace that were in the I'll"
pace OF Wednesday. Dock V. was an
easy second to Society Leader the first
two heats, and tried to win the third,
but did not have quite brush enough to
come through.
Hazel Boy was the favorite in the %
trot, as he had not been headed this
year. Charley G.. was working nicely
and never had to extend himself, and
Roy T. slipped through. getting two
seconds and forcing Hazel Boy to take
third money.
The consolation trot was an added
attraction. Three Rock Island horses
started, two o. which got IN the mon
ely. It was the most holly contested
race OF the day. Judge Hooker looked
like q sure winner the second heat, /
but was beaten by Howell just before
the wire. Frank Curry has the most
likely looking green trotter racing in
HIS horse, Lyle Fifer.
After several bad breaks and false |
starts the gallopers were sent away. !
II was anyone's race from start to fin |
ish with four horses running neck and |
neck. John Morris showed a burst OF
speed just before the wire and won by |
a nose. The summary:
