Race From Bancroft
to Grace is Called
Off Last Saturday

D. A. Jenkins accepted a challenge
to race at Grace Friday and left for
that place with Harry Cooper. On
arriving there the race was post
poned until the next day and one lin
ing up for the the eleven mile race
from Bancroft to Grace those in
charge notified Mr.. Jenkins that the
race was against time instead of a
straight race. This was not accord
ing to the agreement Mr.. Jenkins
entered into and he objected. There
was no stop watch and no means of
keeping the time accurately. He
told the other driver that he did not
bet he had the fastest car, but had
said he could beat him in the race.
The purse was withdrawn and Mr..
Jenkins then told the other driver,
whose name we have been unable to
learn, that he would run him to
Grace for fun. The other driver
didn't like this proposition, but he
started his car and the race was on.
The Nash car driven by Jenkins
lead the other car into Grace by
half mile. They were to race for
mile and half, but Mayor Dawson
called this race off.
Jenkins states that he is willing
to meet these parties at any time,
and any distance for a
suitable purse or he will race them
for the sport of It.

DIRECTORS TAKE
RAIN INSURANCE
Loss in Attendance
Caused by Rain Will
Be Compensated

The directors of the fair have
taken out rain insurance to secure
them in case there is rain to prevent
attendance at the fair any day. The
amount of the premium paid was
about $500 and II 1t rains as much as
one-fifth of an inch between the
hours of 5 a. m. and p. M, the In
surance company pays the fair asso-
citation $500, and 1t does not mat
ter whether the fair is q failure for
that day or If it clears up and is a
banner day, the $4,000 is paid any
how.
r Each days Insurance is based on
the same conditions excepting the
first day, and the hours insured
against rain are from II a. m. till
9 p, m. This change in hours for
the day is on account of the boxing
match for the evening.
The public have an opportunity to
give the fair treasury a big boost by
attending every day even II it does
rain. There might be a fifth Of an
inch of rain at $50 in the morning
and then clear up and make a fine
day and the association would get
$2500 besides the gate receipts. The
fair has had some hard shedding at
times and if the weather clerk and
the public manage things right this
time the treasury will be in good
shape. II it rains every day, then
the association will receive $4,000
insurance, but If 1t rains outside of
the insured hours and still spoils the
attendance, the fair would get moth
ing.
