THE FAIR.

In the three-minute trot there were eight starters in the race, namely: Brown Jug, Pilot Wood, Blue Dick, Andy J, Honest Duke, Bob Lee, White Face, and Charling Banning. White Face was awarded premium—first in all three heats; Honest Duke, second; Blue Dick, third. Best time, 2:56.

In the three-minute pace there were six in the race: Gov. Foraker, May Wilkes, John F, Jerry, Golden Ball, and Diamond. John F. received first premium—winning all three heats; Jerry, second; May Wilkes, third. Best time, 2:55.

In the free for all trot there were six in the race: Contract, Lost Boy, Billy Terrell, Rowdy Boy, White Face, and Warren S. Four heats. Lost Boy received first premium; Billy Terrell, second. Best time, 2:41.

In the free-for-all pace four horses started in the race: Gov. Foraker, Hallie C, Frank H, and Emma H. Frank H was the winning horse in all three heats; Emma H second in all three heats. Time, 2:36.

Owing to the rain the track was soft on inside, and the horses were driven well out from the ring, making the distance traveled something more than a mile, and probably five or six seconds difference in time.
