this can be added $341S.26 liquor col
lections, which makes a grand total
of $12,328.32, which is $3,767.54 less
than the amount of mnoey expended
to run the corporation affairs the past
year. Add to this the deficit in the

$2,544, and the corporation has a
grand shortage of funds totalling

Despite these figures the Board of

is getting more than their share of

keep going.
If they are short of funds as they
maintain it cost $22.933.11 plus what

PAGERS of the Arlington family
were clean sweepers Monday after
noon during the first lot of Ohio state
fair races, Billy Arlington from Men
don taking the 2:30 stake in straight
heats and May Fern of Kenton get
ting the 2:12 class decision in the
shortest possible time.
If there had been any public dec
laration of favorltes, it is not likely
that all of the winners would have
been passed as first choices. The
knowing folks had Billy Arlington
right and were favorable to May Fern
but the trend of sentiment seemed to
be toward Ben Gregor for the trot,
out of which he WAS tagged in the
first heat.
AT no time in any of the heats was
Billy Arlington in trouble. He. was
raced in almost any position and gen.
orally was sent overland When call
ed on. Billy stepped glibly to the
front and won with plenty to spare,
the middle mile was the fastest, being
in 2:14A
Little Bess, member of the Billy
Arlington stable was in the fight
against May Fern during the first
heat of the PIP pace, but met with
mishap in the second mile and a
broken hip was reported as the cause
of aer being distanced.
