OLD TIME PUSH.

The R«faUr Thursday Crowd Wu Here to Attend the County Ftlr.

____

Thoe who fancied that counter attractions, the dust and the cold weather would keep the traditional Thursday crowd away from the Orawfordsville fair, now see the error of their thinking, for the usual congregation waa here with a few more who have grown uo lately. It waa mighty froety Thurtd »y mori lag when tbe eon aroee and in consequence the crowd* were aomewhat later than usual in getting in. The crack-of-day attendant waa a rare article, and what there was of him waa half frozen when the grounds were reaehed. About eight o'clock, however, the gate keep* era began to jump to care for the comera and before noon they had their tongues out. The excursion traioa brought even more than nsu'al and every car that came was loaded to the platform. Tbe small towns hereabouts were simply depopulated and a number of the larger places felt the drain. In the afternoon the Orawfordsville contingent swarmed out to the grounds and ao one could doubt that it was a r*a old time Thursday.

TUESDAY.

Tuesday was children's day at the county 'air and there were some eight or ten thousand children and their parents on the ground. It was the biggest Tueseay since the association abolished tn« plsia of holding the eouuty contest on the grounds.

The races Tuesday were hardly exciting enough to be interesting, although all the horses made a good showing. 2:80

PACK. PUBIS

.Try*la, Jr. 111.

Some one should put dynamite under the trnt of the "orientals". They are as frtouzy a pack as ever counted railroad'ties between fair tafwna.

Jofin Dawson, of Frankfort, wis ticked Wednesday by oae of the race horses to which he got too close. An ugly gash waa eut in his thigh and he was taken home by friends on the evening train.

Chestnut Boy proved a game proposition inthe pace Wednesday, the race being one of the prettiest seen here in a long time. The third and fourth heats were sensational finishes and the talent was all up in the air. After the third heat no one expected to see Chestnut Boy win out until he took a lead on the home stretch in the fifth and won by a length.

Lebanon Reporter "Old Kaintuck" Quinn and "Virginia Twist" Edwards have gone to Orawfordsville to attend the fair. They took "Max Hornet", a trotter owned by the latter and expect to take everything in sight. They made the trip in a covered wagon and expect to camp out duriDg the week. If they don't succumb to their own cooking they will certainly be killed with kindness by the Montgomery county fair officials. 3

Orawfordsville breeders 'took* the following honors in poultry: On Langshans, Ben Myers, 1st on cock, lBt and 2d hen, l&t and 2d cockerel, 1st and 2d pallet, and first breeding pen on buff Plymouth Rocks, Ben Wilhlte, first pullet, first breeding pon on black Minorc&s, Ben Wilihite, 1st cock, 1st hen, 1st breeding pen on white Wyandottes, Howard Griffith, 2d cockerel, 1st and 2 pullet, 2d breeding pen.

The races Wednesday resulted: 2:18 pace, purse, $300—Chestnut won first, second and fifth heats Little Dock, third and fourth Tommy Y, Ben Bolt, Douglass Maid and Febville finished in order named. Time—2: 2:17X, 2:15%, 2:l7tf, 2:19*. 2:17 trot, purse, 8300—Judge Wiley won in straight heats. Gunsaulus, Maud Kalo and Harry Nixon finished in order. Time—2:163f, 2:80f. 2:19Jf.

One mile and repeat run, purse 8100 —Lady Bunt won, Upa and Downs, aeeond. Virg nia also ran.

VOTM.

There were 350 tieketa sold at Ladoga alone Thursday for the fair here. Nixon was badly out of form Wednesday and faiied to make tbe showicg his friends had hoped for.

Tbe street feira now in operation have reduced the number of side shows from the standard of former years.

The eold drink Tenders hare bee% having a hard time of it this chilly weather, and their faees are correspondingly long.

The 2:25 paee yesterday waa won by Rat ie B,, with the Ladoga horse, Tom Twiste., second. The 2:10 paee was won by Flossie Delaney.

In the second beat of the run Wednesday an ugly accident waB narrowly averted, and to those in the grand stand it looked as thbugh the riders of Virginia M. and Ups and DownB should have been bounced from the track. Lady Hunt took a lead, having the pole, but before the first turn was deliberately crowded against the fence by the riders of the other horses, who were apparently bent on fouling her. Lady Hunt went against the fence with a smash thatseverely injured her jockey's leg and broke her belly band. The horse and rider pluckily finished the heat, but were .not in the race after tbe nmat-hup. The judges took no eognlsance of the incident, it seeming to be a rule that anything goes in a running race.

The pace Wednesday was marred by an untoward incident in the first heat which probably had considerable to do with the result. On the home stretch Tommy Y., whose driver had been holding back, started to pass the leaders abd in roing by Fenville, locked wheels. Both horses were throws and both 6ulkeys were demolished. Tbe drivers escaped uninjured. Fenville was hurt and bad to be helped to get up, but Tommy Y., with the ruins of his en I key, ran twice around tbe track. Fenville was in the next heat, but narrowly escaped tbe flag and was then drawn. Tommy Y. finished the race and in the third and fourth heats finished nose and nose with the winner. The fourth heat many thought could be called a dead one.

His Hame Is Dranii.

Aeronaut Dennis, employed by the fair association to give balloon ascensions and parachute leaps, came to grief on the occasion of his first rise. Hia old balloon was rotten and when it had risen above the tree tops it collapsed. Dennis fell that distance to the ground, although hia fall waa broken somewhat by his parachute? which partially opened. His leg was broken and he had a number of ugly gashes eut in his head. Dennis knew wh^n he went np that a hole was ripping ,in the eide of his airship.

NATURAL GAS.

Bapply DMWMIPK—Patrolanm and Goal ls Take Its PUm.

The report of J. C. Leaeh, state superintendent of natural gas, included in the geologist's report, emphasizes the previous affirmation of the geological department that the supply of natural gas in Indiana is constantly decreasing, and "that the end of that valuable fuel, at least for manufacturing purposes, will soon be here." The cold week last February brought residents of many cities of the state, the report says, to a realization of the shoitnetss of the sras supply. The pipe lines have been extending their main lines to the "h«art" of tbe gas field until the center is now reduced to 150 square miles, The average rock pressure of the entire fisld in November, 1897, was 191 poundB, while in November, 1898, the report says, it was 173 pounds, showing a loss of eighteen pounds.

Petroleum, or crude oil, the report says, will probably replace gas In the higher portions of the porous Trenton rock in a large part of the present gas producing area. The supply of petroleum, however, la said to be limited like that of natural gas. When the supply of gas Is exhausted, the report suggests, the many factories of the gas region may either burn petroleum or Indiana coal. If they have to remove their business, good locations in tbe coal fields, it is said, csn be found. "The facts given in this report and the preceding ones of this department," the supervisor says, "all tend to show that Indiana is possessed of raw material, fuel and transportation facilities, equal to, If not surpassing, those of other states in the union. Whether she uses these possessions to the best advantage—keeps the factories now within her bounds and increases their number many fold—will depend almost wholly upon the »ner»rt*8 and public-spiritedness of of the citizens of those localities where the fuels and raw materials are located. This department can but call the attention of the world to the resources of the different localities of the state. The people of those localities must, by their own endeavors and by showing a willingness to invest local capital, attract to their midst the wealth and populations of other portions of the world."

The total production of petroleum in Indiana In the year 1898 was 3.751.307 barrels, as against 4.353,138 in 1697, making a

IOBB

of 601,831 barrels. This

is said to have been due to the low price of the product and to the fallqre in discovering new undeveloped ter ritoTy.

QUE ALLEN.

The Montgotnery Cnnoty'Horse That Now H»« All .Europe By the Kara,

The following letter from Baden to the Horse Review will interest tbe many admirers of the Montgomery county horse, Qae Allen: "BADEN, Aug. 15 —The race for the championship of Europe prize, purss 83,000, and a gold medal to the winner, was decided here to-day. Qae Allen, by Champion Medium 2:22#, dam Lady Baven, by Bavenwood 17385, won the final heat and a larger part of the pnrse, trotting the mile in 2:08 2-5, lowering the Enropean trotting record 0is own) 1 l-io seconds. Four heata of the race were trotted on Suoday, Aug. 13. The first fell to Col. Euaer in 2-11 4-5, after a bruising finish with Que Allen and Athan'o. The latter was disqualified and third place given to Miss Sidney. George A. was distanced. The second heat brought out the best in Que Allen and Athanio, both of whom beat Kuser in a hard drive through the stretch. Tbe time of the heat-winner was 2-09 9-10—a new record for Europe. Athanio's time was 2:10 9:10, while Kaser could only trot the mile in 2:13 4-5. Miss Sidney was distanced. After a desperate struggle the entire mile, the third heat, Euser landed first at the wire in 2:11 2-5, but was disqualified for running, and Athanio, whose separate time was 2:11 7-10, waa given tbe heat* Que Allen, who trotted in 2:18 l-io, was placed seeond, and Boabdll, who trotted In 2:14 7-10, waa placed third. The fourth heat was the hottest of the day. Athanio bung to Que Alien from wire to wire, and poked hia nose under first in 2:11 713, Que Allen 2 10 of a aeeond behind him. Koser attain felt the heavy: band* of these Auatralian judges who- aeldom fail to penalize a horse for running, and, though he came third, wasaet baok to last plaee. Tbe race then went over. "To-day* Aitff. 15, Qi« Allen waa in greater form than ever before, either in America or here, and though Col. Kuser, trotting every foot of the mile, straggled desperately to gain tbe lead, the champion held him at bay and won as be liked in 2:08 2-5—a new mile record for Europe. Col. Euser was second in 2:10 3-io—the fasteat mile he has ever trotted—and Athanio was third in 2:11. The average time of the five heats is 3:10.56—less than two seconds behind the American five-heat record 2:08 7, held by John Nolan."

The Borte Reviewsaya editorially: "At mile heata, three-in-five racing, the American-bred a tall ion, Que Allen, Is undisputed champion of Europe, hia victory at Baden in the race for the prize known as the championship of Europe having clioehed hie claim to the title. Tbe raee was begun at Baden Au?. 13, and with an intermission of obferday, waa concluded Aug. 15. On the first day Que Allen lowerejd Jhe^faiiie trotting record of Euro,pfi to 10, as stated in the last issue of the RniUno, and set it still lower,' to 2:08 2-5, the second day. Athanio and Col. Euser were the contending horses. The race was a notable one, not only from the time made In single heats, but because of the fast average -2:10.56. Ia comparison with the fastest five-heat race in America— 2:08 70, made in the Transylvania last year—the Baden performance does not 6ufiter materially, especially If the difference In conditions were taken Into account. It is within a small fraction of a second of as fast as tbe great five-heat race won by Cresceus at Readville on Aug. 35. and the winner's th^e heats were faster tuan the three heats won by Cresceus. So It will be seen that the American trotters are Bhowing the foreigners what they can do. Ai- the tracks over there are given, by and by, the proper sort of conditioning, we will have more brilliant performances, and it is not at all unlikely that a world's champion may eventually b» developed there."
