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.

THE FAIR
At East Enterprise—Large Attendance and Good Display

PREMIUMS AWARDED.

It had been oft repeated that owing to the severity of drought, the scarcity of water, the dust, and depressed feeling of the people on account of shortage of crops, “the Enterprise Fair would be a failure this year.” We are pleased to record that the prediction and not the Fair has failed. As proof we refer to the 6,000 people in attendance on Friday of the Fair; we point to the 1,100 articles entered for premiums, the exhibition of horses (never better), the cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry, machinery, farm and musical instruments, and the ladies’ department, needle work and table delicacies, so very full and fine. The potatoes and vegetables were twice as large as we had anticipated, and the fruits and grains a good display. The receipts will enable the society to meet its obligations, and all accounts be squared, as promised. Thanks to the people, exhibitors and visitors, for their liberal support and patronage. The premium winners were:

First and second premiums were awarded to the schools having the best papers, and said papers were examined as to neatness, businesslike appearance and penmanship. Our limited time would not permit of examining the papers as to correctness of answers, but when it was difficult to decide, then we looked at the nature of the questions and correctness of answers. We made the following rules: No paper with more than one blot, erasure, or scratch, is worthy of consideration for first premium. We also looked closely at headings and margins.

We awarded the premiums as follows:

  • Jefferson Township, school district number 9. The best paper belonging to Miss Fannie Hagerman; Miss Gullie H. Rous, teacher.
