RAIN DRIVES RUNNERS INTO
 FAIR BUILDING
Two I00-yard Dashes Are Only Track Events
 Held Outdoors


 Fourth of July track events yes terday attracted enthusiastic parti- cipants. For the most part the contests were for boys and girls, but few competitions were ar ranged for young men and young women, and for fat men and for old men.
 On account of rain all races, ex- cept two 100-yard daShes were held in the Fair Building. The dastes took place in the Baseball Park.
 In the Fair Building, the track was too short to make all the scheduled distinctions as to the length of races provided in the program, so for events for such distances as 50, 45, 40, and 30 yards, races were run the length of the track. The scheduled short CT distances for the smaller chil- dren were observed. hmOufltS LII ITLcS The usual prizes were $1 for the first, 75 cents for second and 50 cents for third; but for the young women's race, the fat mems race, the old mans race and the loo-yard dash for young men un- der 21 years old. the awards were $3 for first, $2 for second and $l for third.
 The prizes for the free-for-all 1o0-yard dash were $10 for first, $5 for second and $3 for third.
 Dora Sweeney won the young women's race, Harry Sperling, the fat mems, Gabe -Faul, the old mems, and T. Twigg both the 10o- yard dashes.
 The officials of the track events managed them efficiently and caus- ed them to be run off promptly and without the slightest semblance of dissatisfaction. Those in charge were William Franks, starter; Will liam R. GarSter, M. Bavard and N. Harvard, judges, and M. H, Sides, paymaster Events and Winners
