Success of
4th OF July
Races Sure
Plans For Twenty-Ninth Annual Meet
Laid With Enthusiasm-Mau
Horses to Count FirSt-New Off
GERS 0ptimistic-Big Ball Planned

In all of it's twenty-nine years of
successful existence, the future of the
Maui Racing Association probably
never looked brighter to those inter
ested in it than it does today. At the
annual meeting held on Tuesday night
at the Town Hall, new officers were
elected by an enthusiastic group of
members, representing the best busi-
ness element in Maui, and not simply
lovers of fine horse flesh.
The new officers are: c. D. Lufkin,
president; D. H. Case, vice-president; !;
w. F. Crockett, secretary-treasurer.
Executive committee, L. Won Temps
ky, Angus McPhee and r. A. Wads-
worth. Mr.. Lufkin succeeds w. T.
Robinson, as president, and Mr.. Case,
as vice-president, takes the place held
last year by r. A. Wadsworth Mr..
Wadsworth is this year the new mem
Der on the important executive com
mittee, succeeding Pia Cockett
Depend on Maui Horses.
Plans for the Fourth of July event
occupied most of the time OF the
meeting, number of radical changes
in policy being decided upon. One OF
these was that henceforth no race
shall be arranged which will be
dependent solely upon outside entries
In other words, the success of the
meet is not to depend in any degree
upon other than Maui owned horses
Invitations are to be extended as
usual to outside horsemen, but their
| coming or going will not be allowed in
any sense to interfere with the pro
gram as has been the case in some
previous meetings.
Another important thing unanimous
ly agreed upon, was that the purses
will this year be limited to $500
which it is felt will insure some good
sport.
The following new members were
voted into the organization: ]. S
Mackenzie, S. T. Short, DR.. C. P
Durney, F. w. Peacock, DR.. A. C
Rothrock, P. H. Ross, Frank A. Luf
kin, M. c. Ayres, Judge W. S. Ed
| ings, and Charles Cowan.
Dress Ball Authorized.
| The association authorized tht
holding of an elaborate fancy dres!
ball on April 10, some preliminar!
steps for which have already beef
taken. This affair, it is expected, will
be the most important social event o
the year on Maui.
The association adopted a minorit!
report of the executive committee b!
which it was unanimously agreed tha
in case of withdrawal of a horse afte
entry, the entrance fee will not be re
| funded.

A CARD OF THANKS

On behalf of the Vernon County Ag-
ricultural Society we wish to thank the
people for their generous patronage.
We tried to give you a good fair. We
believe it was the best one we ever
had. We tried to make it so. The
weather was against US, but we had two
good days-good weather and record
breaking attendance.
While we had no intention of giving
a free entertainment each evening, we
did, at heavy expense to our associa-
tion, provide free open air show fora
large number of people. who evidently,
unable to pay our small admission fee,
watched US "burn our money" in spec
tacular fire works from their automo-
biles and carriages, drawn I'D along our
western boundary and far up the adj
joining hill.
Although we are in debt, and IDOL.
lars" are much more than ''doughnuts"
to US, we are truly glad to have afford
ed these poor, and doubtless deserving
people an hour of enjoyment that came
to them without money and without
price" F. M. MINsHALL, President.
F. w. ALEXANDER, Secretary.

La Fargo

Coroner Gohde ami Under-Sheriff
HOMELAND were at LaFarge on Monday,
called to view the remains of Mr. Ellis
Morgan, which had been recovered from
the Kickspoo river after two days lying
in the water. They determined there
was no reason for holding of an inquest
The particulars of this unfortunate
d owning as told to the CENSOR by
these officers is that Mr.. Morgan WAS
employed as workman on the Kickapoo
railroad. Assisted by brother he was
doing some repairing under a track
bridge when he slipped from the plank
on which he was standing, falling into
the river. Attempts TO save him were
unavailing and he sank. Although dill
igent work was kept up to recover the
body it was not found till Sunday. two
days following the drowning.
Mr.. Morgan was fifty two years old,
had large family. He was industri-
GUS and well thought of.

SOME HEAVY FIRE LOSSES
DeSoTo BANK AND NEAT MAR
KET ARE BURNED
Thos. Weavii's Barn. Phalen Farm
Residence and Other Losses
From Lightning

At an early hour this Wednesday
morning a telephone message gave
news of fire confiegration that occur
red in the village Of DeSoto during the
night. Fire started in the Bootsma
meat market, destroying that structure
and the building in which the DeSoto
Bank was located. The stone block
adjoining on the north was saved, al
though some damage was done to it
and involves a mercantile loss to the
Eewis-Olee Company which conducts
its business therein. Their loss is
mostly damage to goods from smoke,
water and removal The CENSOR is
rot advised whether anything in furni-
ture and equipment was saved from
the two burned business places. The
extent Of the loss we do not know, but
understand from reliable authority that
sufficient insurance was carried to meet
losses.
During the rain and electrical storm
of Sunday night lightning struck the
barn of Thomas Weavil, east of the
Viroqua school block. Mr. Weavil dis
covered the fire in time to save his
horses and a portion of his well drilling
tools and stock. He places his loss at
$500 He carried insurance. but has
not had an adjustm snt, Il was fierce
fire and but for down pour Of rain and
hose division of the fire company, would
have spread to surrounding premises.
During the same storm the large
dwelling house on the Phalen farm near
Rising Sun was struck by lightning
and burned to its foundation walls, to-
gether with all contents.
The LaFarge Eenterprise: Arch
Strait, living east of the village had
three stacks of hay burned, lightning
causing the fire. Lightning set FIRE TO
the barn of Dan Lepley, living east of
the village, and it was destroyed.

SCATTERING 0TES

To remind US that less thana century
ago Vernon county was virgin ground,
land of the redskin, nearly unknown to
the paleface, Nels T. Nelson had on
display 1877 Indian arrowheads, all kinds,
shapes, cOlors and siZes-rade imple-
ments Of war ard the chase.
Work Of special judges was quite
satisfactory to exhibitors They were
Geo. b Dival Of WaUzeka for horses,
Louis Bober for cattle, John l.. Jones
sheep and hogs. Purdy for poultry,
J r Thorp for fs.im, gardensn and fruit,
Miss Manchester for domestic manu-
features and fancy work, Mrs Worth
ington for pastry, canned fruits and
flowers; Mrs. Margaret Houge, paint
ings.
The absence of drunkenness was very
noticeable, scarcely a drunk on the
grounds. 1t is remarkable, too, that
there was not an accident curing the
week.
There were at times packed away in
different parts of the grounds nearly
or quite 800 automobiles.
The tent rest room maintained by
ladies of the w. C. 7. u. was one Of
the needful quarters on the grounds.
The public owes N lch to he thought
ful women who gave their time to con-
duct the same.
The parade Of prize winning stock
animals was a fine feature and adver-
tisement for owners, but held at the
wrong hour Of the day, at ll:30. when
few persons were in the ampithcstre
to witness it.
The Third Regiment Band did its
share toward entertainment of the
throngs, being on duty days and oven-
ings.

audience. He grasped the tube, held
1t upward; a laundering employee had
placed the bomb upside down and the
tube burst, tearing off his hand
In addition to the fireworks, a COM
plete vaudeville program was present
ed each night, while all the shows and
activities of the fair were on in full
swing. The brilliantly Illuminated for
al hall and grounds, with the electric
lie ferris wheel revolving in their midst,
made very attractive spectacle, and
it seemed that nearly as many people
were on the grounds at night as during
the day.
THE RACING FEATURE
Pretty good race meeting all things
considered, although there we're not a
third of the horses present to contest
the classes as last year. Because of
foul weather the races were crowded
into two days, total of five events.
What should have been the two big
races, the free for-all trot or pace and
the 2:l6 pace, were very good exhibitions
of speed, yet lacking ininterest because
of but three starters in each and feel
ing that they were prearranged be-
tween horsemen. In the free-for-all
were animals with records of 2.05s,
2:0St, 2:07. One of the heats WIS gns.e
in 2:1li. equalling the track record set
in the past. Considering the rain had
earlier in the week and again on Thurs
day the track was in fine shape. Thurs
day it was covered with water, Friday
touch of dust. Diligent work made
il possible to have track that was ex-
cellent although not fast. DR.. Butler
Of Sparta, was the starting Judge and
his work was excellently performed
and satisfying to people and horsemen.
Following are the race records:

Certainly this new venture on the
part of the fair officials met with the
popular approval of the crowds. Nat
urally the fireworks we're the principal
feature of the evening ente =. '7ments,
and rightly 80, for they were truly
magnificent and thrilling SVN Jitions.
Some of the spectators had been privi-
legged to witness the pyrotechnical dis
plays at the Panama Pacific exposition,
and pronounced them no better than
ours in any respect except quantity.
While the gate receipts in the evening
were not quite sufficient to cover the
cost of the fireworks, yet the general
expressions OF satisfaction by those IN
attendance are very gratifying to the
society.
Two expert pyrotechnicians were in
charge of the fireworks, and most Of
the rockets, bombs and set pieces were
manufactured on the grounds. These

largest company of its kind in this
country, headed by Mr.. Martin Of Dav-
