Concerned only with the thought
OF getting votes-and plenty of them
that victory and an automobile will
be theirs, contestants in the big
prize race are hourly increasing their
vigorous pace, and gaining such re-
markable momentum as time slips
by that the short remaining period
of nine days until the close will see
this section Of Kentucky in a tur-
MOL of excitement, grimly determin-
ed that their favorite candidates
will be the ones upon whom honor
will be bestowed.
With $1,000 in prizes hanging in
the balance, all the candidates are
bending every effort to win. With
the shortness of time acting as a
quickening impulse and the magnifi-
cent prizes squirting them on to be
the first to claim them, these can
didates are forging ahead like a
mighty army that sweeps everything
before it.
But it takes courage to maintain
the pace that this onrush is setting.
Courage-yes, and tenacity. Stick
ing through until the finish and gain
ing every advantage that opens it.
self, is what will bring many of the
candidates out on top.
The hour is important now. And
so is every subscription. The only
difference between having an auto
mobile and not having one is-votes.
The present Triple Vote Offer, which
is in force until next Monday night,
allows a liberal addition in votes on
every subscription that is secured.
6 P. NJ, Monday night is positively
the last chance to take advantage Of
the big triple vote offer, and by TAX
ing full advantage of it, an auto
mobile may be plucked which other
wise would be out of0reach.
Every subscription is valuable now
and candidates should bend every
energy to secure them. Who knows
but what one or two subscrip tions
may separate the candidates in the
race for the automobile, and every
subscription sedured lessons the
chances of defeat.
There are a number of quiet ener-
getic workers in the campaign who
have not been saying much, but have
been working with an object in view.
They are the "dark horses" that
bear watching. They add uncertain
ty to the outcome. They have not
been heralding their work, but in
stead, have been adding to their vote
reserve steadily, and when the final
count is over it may bring some sur
prises.
There are 16 chances to win q
prize, and one will mean a Ford

there will be very narrow margin

the close. Plan at night for the
morrow, and make every hour until

Mazda Wins Derby
AT Long Odds

The opening day of the Montgom-
cry County Fair in this city yester-
day was the most suspicious in the
history of the association and a rec
ord-breaking first days crowd was
in attendance.
The feature of the opening day was
the Mt. Sterling Derby, running
race of one and one-sixteenth miles
for three year olds and upward. The
race was between Miss Patty and
Mazda and in the stretch run Ma
cola proved the better Of the two,
winning by a neck, and rewarding
her hackers to the tune Of $47.40 to
so. The Cullen Bon was third, and,
after a slow start, ran a splendid
race. There were ten starters in this
event and il took much time to get
them off, the favorites, Jetsam and
the J. M. Hubbard entry, finishing
outside of the money. This was un-
doubtedly the best bunch of runners
that ever faced barrier in this city
and there was much interest conferred
in the event.
In the 2:18 pacing race Prince
Regal was returned the winner after
losing the first heat to Albert o.,
owned by P. L. Hensley, of this
city. The 2:1S trot was easy for
Bean Bros, Donna Cochita winning
in straight heats with Peter Bean,
owned by the same parties, finishing
secnd to his stablemate. Northern
Boy was third
In the first running race on the
card at five furlongs, Maysville, at
odds of almost 3 to l, was returned
the winner, with Madame Byng Sec
ond and Marty Lou third.
The second running race at the
same distance was won by the ia
vorite, Grace Minard, which payed
$3.50 to each 50 ticket. Peggy Mar
tin was second.
In the ring for saddle horses the
Rails entry, of Bourbon county, was
returned the winner, with Graham,
from Clark, second and Robertson,
Montgomery, third.
The Floral Hall, which is in charge
of Mrs. B. G. Nunnelley, has the
largest number of entries ever ex-
hibited and proved quite popular
with the large crowd. @s,a t
The Midway is undoubtedly the
largest and best ever in Mt. Ster-
ling and is drawing large crowds who
are highly pleased with the clean,
high class attractions offered.
Present for the opening day were
about 200 visitors from Lexington,
who were here in the interest of the
Blue Grass Fair and assured our
people that hearty welcome awaits
them in the Blue Grass capital.
The program for today and the
rest of the week is a most excellent
one and record breaking crowds are
expected to be in attendance each
