association circuit is run August to
3, inclusive.
Among the arrivals last week was
L. B. Taylor of Newhall, Cal, a
prominent horseman of the western
state, who has a likely looking string
headed by Baxter Lou, a PAGER with a
mark Of 2:l0H.
Another Californian on the ground
is Mr.. Spencer of Santa Rosa, whose
string presents a classy headliner in
The Proof, 2:08H. He also has in tow
green PAGER with time record OF
2:04, made over a mile track. Mr..
Spencer is a topnotch California
horseman. Owing to an unforeseen
state of affairs in the west, when some
races up on the north coast failed to
fill, he was too late to name any
horses for the early closing purses.
That his steppers will be nominated
for the late closing list goes without
saying.
Dennison String to Iowa.
Omaha horses are expected to show
the followers of the Southwestern
Iowa and Missouri Shortship circuit
meetings a few new wrinkles in the
racing game. A delegation of local
harness speedsters will be taken over
to Corning, Ia, this week for the
meeting in that town Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday.
Included in the string are Jim
O'Shea, owned by Fred Myers, and
three horses from the Dennison
stables-Tena G., Hal Connors and
Frank Holloway. Babe King, the
worlds fastest pacing pony, the prop
erty of Miss Frances Dennison of
Omaha, will be taken over into Iowa
to please Oh Polloi with her great
pacing exhibitions. Babe King is one
OF the brightest attractions on the
middle west turf today.
Fred Myers has sold two of his
string-McKinney Wilkes, a trotter,
and Sir Charles K, a PAGER to Hor-
ton Bros. of New York. These two
we'll known local horses were shipped
east a couple of days ago and will be
used on the speedway in the city of
the Great White Way" Horsemen
are predicting that both steeds are
due to clean up as matinee perform
ers.

AID Wolgast Gains a
Rep for Hitting
= Where He Shouldn't

Has Ad Wolgast mania for foul
ing his opponents?
1t looks that way, or Adolph is
getting careless in his desire to in
flict punishment on his adversaries
Wolgast has won most OF his great
battles, the ones over distance, be.
cause the body punishment he admin
istered wore the other fellow out.
However, up to the time they gave
Willie Richie the decision and the
lightweight championship in the six
teenth round, AID had not been dis
qualified for hitting low. Since that
time AID has lost a number of bat
ties through fouls and perhaps holds
record in that line.
Wolgast never got over the fact
that they gave the championship to
Richie on a foul. He has maintained
that the blow was as fair as any ever
delivered.
In number OF battles Ad has hit
low. At Milwaukee against White
and Richie he did the same thing
He repeated the trick against Ham
mer, but on all occasions he got away
by apologizing to his opponents.
Recently he lost to frankie Russell
at St. Louis on foul. He was counted
against at Shreveport last winter
when they handed Bobby Waugh the
verdict of low blow, and his latest
foul lost him verdict over Cham.
pion Welsh at Denver.
Still Wolgast is going along we'll
The battles he has won have shown
he has regained his old-time form, but
wherever he appears the referee is on
the alert for fouls and watches his
style of punching more than that OF
any other boxer in the ring.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION

The paid attendance at the Chec-
terficld County Fair for 1916 was as
follows: Wednesday, 992; Thursday,
400; Friday, 2233; Saturday, 1888.
Total paid attendance, 1852, which
nettcd the sum of $1,070.7O.
The paid attendance for Thursday,
4,1O9, and the total paid attendance
OF S352, both set new records for
the County Fair. Thursdays crowd
was the largest ever assembled in
Chesterfield county, it being cstim-
ated that there was six or seven
thousand people in Chesterfield on
that day.
And in addition to the gate re-
ccipts the Fair Association received
S197.5O from lunch stands and con-
cessions of all kinds, and $311.2S
from the Carnival company. Total
receipts were $2,479.48.
The expenses of the Fair Associa-
ton were great deal heavier this
year than in previous years, but it is
believed that the receipts will cover
same.
The woman aeronaut engaged by
the Fair Association to make balloon
ascensions cancelled her contract at
the last moment. Another aeronaut
was contracted with by wire and ar
rived on time. The Fair Association
regrets he was unable to initiate his
balloon on Thursday and Saturday
and the visiting public was disappoint-
ed those two days. The Association
had to pay the aeronaut neverthe-
less. The ascensions Wednesday and
Friday were made alright and each
time the aeronaut, Mr.. Walter j.
Jewell, made beautiful triple para
chute drop.

High School Notes

After few days holiday for the
Fair, school work has been resumed
and everyone is again working stead
ily
On account of too many pupils in
the fourth and fifth grades, Miss
Melton has taken fifth grade work in
addition to her second grade, leaving
Mrs. Hanna with the fourth grade.
The girls of High School have or
ganized a basketball team and have
gone to work to raise money to buy
the outfit. We hope soon to be able
to have some interesting games.
The Wade Hampton Literary So
ciety will carry out the program Fri
day that was missed last Friday on ac-
count of the Fair.
1t is learned from private letters
to their friends that two former mem
bers of our faculty, Mr.. Porter and
Miss Rowell, are quite busy with their
work at Greenwood and Cowpens.
The present faculty and pupils are
glad OF know of their continued sue
cess.
The monthly reports were given out
Tuesday, which show creditable work
being done by some of the pupils.

FAIR NOTES

MIR. T. b. Smith, Of PageIand had
on exhibit at the fair some velvet
bean meal, made by grinding up to-
gcther the beans and pods. This is
an experiment that bids well to prove
profitable This mixture will abou
equal cotton seed meal in nutrient
value and may also be of equal serv-
ice as fertilizer.
The exhibit of the Montrose Can
ming Co., should prove food for
thought for progressive farmers. This
factory offers q market near at hand
for a great variety of vegetables, at
a profitable price. They are already
calling for sweet potatoes in large or
small quantities Farmers should
give this factory, situated at Mon
trose, near Chcraw Ill the encourage
mcnt possible by keeping it well sup
piled with such by-products as they
can use.
1t seems that a great many people
have lately developed a way of kick
ing .at the Eatc-keepers of the Fair
grounds when the said keeper is only
o5Cying the instructions of the man
| ayers, who are also acting in accord
with the rules of the Association.
1t seems that when gate-kecper or
ticket seller tells prospective patron
of the Fair what his instructions are,
in given case that would be enough.
At any rate it ought to be understood
that to abuse these men cannot
change the regulations complained of.
The Colored Folks Day at the Fair
this year, as before, was a big day.
There were many creditable exhibits
in all departments, but the women
probably had the most attractive dis
play. The cooking of course was
good. The fancy work was surpris-
ingly good. Some very fine pieces
made by children were shown. One
of the novelties that attracted con
J siderable attent pm was a hat made OF
pine straw needks by Mary Hildrath

Gus to mention.
Among the exhibits from the farm

How to Save Ii.

Many Chesterfield people take
their lives in their hands by neg
