FREDERICKTOWN HORSE
CAPTURES 2:12 PACE
Display OF Clinton Grange Is
Given First Award; Sold
For Red Cross

Horse racing that created great
deal of excitement and interest
among the 5000 persons present was
the feature of the Knox county fair
on its closing day, Saturday. AL.
though there were no records broken,
the racing was the most hOtly con-
tested that has been seen in this
county for many years and. bearing
in mind that the track was slightly
heavy owing to the rain, exceptional
ly good time was made in all heats.
The first event of the afternoon,
the 2:20 pace. bOrdered on the sen.
and the result was ever in doubt un-
til the finish of the sixth and last
heat. Violet Bell took the first heat,
with Agnes X. coming second. In
the second heat Edwards Boy made
great spurt on the home stretch and
won by little over length. In the
third heat. practically all Of the
horses were punched together, hut
Edwards Boy managed to stick his
nose out in front of the others at the
wire. In the fourth heat, Liman
Cook. who had been far behind in the
previous heats. surprised the crowd
and beat the field in a close roce. LII.
man Cook then took advantage of the
pole" and captured the following
two heats and race, only after hard
struggle, however.
The 2:19 trot was somewhat n rep.
etitiOn of the preceding race In that
the winner came out ahead in the last
three of the six heats. Tramp Boy
carried off the hOnors. The fourth
heat, the first one he won, was the
most exciting of the whole afternoon
Tramp Boy was far behind, but start
ed gaining on the last half mile. On
the last turn, he was still behind, but
his driver gave him the whip and
rein" and he made a sensational spurt
down the home stretch, outdistancine
the field by bare margin.
A Knox county horse, Loyal w.
owned by "Dick" Wilson of Freder
icktown, carried off first money in the
2:12 pace. 1t was simply a matter
of more speed than the rest of thu
field and was won in three straigh
heats.

Forgot What He Needsd.


From the Republican, Mt. Giliad,
Ohio: The editor had an interest
ing experience some time ago, when
a young gentleman came to this
office and asked for copy of the
Morrow County Republican. He
scrutinized it carefully when a copy
was handed him, and then said:
Now l konw!' What is it you
are looking for" we inquired. my
wife sent me after a bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and l for
got the name. l went to several
stores and the clerks named over
everything in the line on the shelf
except tChamberlain's'. I'll try
again, and I'll never go home with
out Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
The Republican would suggest to
the proprietors of stores, that they
post their clerks, and never let them
substitute. Customers lose faith
in stores where substituting is per
mitted, to say nothing of the in
justice to makers of good goods and
the disappointment of customers.
