YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
Track i'm Fine Condition And Fast
Time NIade-DOrchester County
Race Holly Contested From start
To Finish.

While the crowd at the Dorches
ter County Fair yesterday afternoon
was not so large as many persons mad
hoped for. when the fact is taken in
to consideration that nearly hnn
dred of the young men of the county
were to leave in the afternoon, at .
O'Clock, and that hundreds OF their
friends had stayed at home IN order
to 60 to the boat to see them Off, the
crowd at the Fair was really surpris-
ing.
The racing attracted large crowd
and all who attended were amply re-
maid for their time, for the racing
was said by the horsemen to have
been of the very highest character;
some of the men who have followed
the circuit for years stated that the
events were very closely contested,
and that it averaged up better than
anv racing they had seen this sea
son.
In the 2.23 trot, purse $500, the
race was won by Fenesta, the best
mile being in PA IA, which is
mighty good time. The 2.30 pace
was won by Long Shot, the best mile
being 2.171-4 The Special Race for
Dorchester county horses. was won
by Salem Mckinney, five heats being
necessary in order to determine the
winner. Dixie, the handsome sorrei
horse of James Windsor, of Airey,
was a mighty close contender, taking
the first two heats in 20 IA and rs
IA. and coming out End in the third
and fifth heats. Salem Mckinney
was End in the first two heats and
first in the last three. The mule race
furnished a great deal Of amusement
and was won by Grandma, entered by

NEW DISCOVERY TO
PROTECT CONCRETE SHIPS

Washington, July S.-Discovery of a
new protective coating which is ex-
pected to make concrete ships as dur

the shipping board
Engineers studying concrete con
struction are becoming more and
more enthusiastic over the future OF
concrete ships said R. j Wig, chief
of the concrete ship division.
From our comprehensive tests al

sells will last minimum OF several
years without any protection. APP
plication of well known protective
coatings makes certain an extended
life of several years and with the
further development of protective
means we have discovered | believe
the concrete snip can be made as per-
manent as steel. If not more so"
