Excellent Race Card.
Fair visitors Tuesday We're treated
to an unusually excellent racing pro-
gram, the 2:17 pace going to six heats
before being decided and the ree-for-
all pace being won in the fast time of
2:1Ola. The III class afforded three
neck and neck finishes the race being
one of the most spectacular ever Of
fered on a county fair card.
General Luther's Baby, owned by II.
Eldridge. of Waukon, took the first
two heats in the IL pace. but was
forced to step the second heat in
2:14h to nose out at the finish and
the hard drive told so severely on the
little mare that she was unable to stay
in the lead. Jimmie l.. Patchen, owned
by L. J. Mason, of Grinnell stepped
out to the lead in the third heat, but
the forth went to Danica, entered by
A. Johnson. OF st. Paul
The three heat winners faced the
starter in the fifth. with the Patchen
gelding a handy winner. Patchen won
the concluding heat easily from the
Waukon entry. Summary:

Welcome For Balloon Lady.
A return attraction which received
welcome from the fair visitors was

features of the fair program.
