THE SOMERSET CENTRAL FAIR At
SKOWHEGAN WAS A GRAND SUCCESS
Results of the Races Awards in Different De-
partments - Patrons Enthusiastic

The third day of the fair saw the
people eager for more as the two pre-
ceiling DAYS had given them only al
taste of the real pleasure to be found
on the Fairyiew Park grounds. The
crowd in round numbers nearly equal
led that of the day previous and there
was something doing all the time. The
splendid vaudeville shows, the tryout
of one or more of the racing cars, the
music by the Citizens band and the
midway attractions were all seen with
enthusiasm and the evening perfor-
mances were likewise characterized
by large audiences in the respective
fair departments.
Fair patrons saw some splendid
horse racing last Thursday afternoon.
The accident of the day occurred in
the first heat of the 2.1S class, trot
or pace when Don Mckinney bay
gelding from Bluehill owned and driv-
en- by Parker IIinckley fell down, In
the mixup Natiya North and Peter
Tanlae both became involved and their
respective drivers, f. b. Ireland and
II. A. Nevers were both thrown. This
resulted in Bert Wells being the only
driver to keep straight on to the fin
sh and Lady Spencer won the heat.
The accident was not serious but Don
Mckinney was drawn for the balance
of the race; Lady Spencer came un-
der the wire first in three alternate
heats out of five and won first money.

THE BALL GAME
The result of the ball game Thurs
day afternoon between the Skowhegan
and Madison teams gave Skowhegan
a victory of 10 to IL.
The game Thursday was marked by
the hard smuggling of both teams, four
pitchers working in the nine innings
of play. Skowhegan was the chief
offender with the willow, registering
team total of 10 hits off the delivery
of Kayanaugh and Rogers. Probably
the real feature was the hitting of
Dostie, who ia six trips to the rubber
registered a circuit clout and two two
saekers. Jacobs also drove one for
a homer.
