MANY FINE HORSES AT SECOND ANNUAL SHOW.

Improvement In Exhibits Over a Year Ago and Some Yery Fine Animals Are Brought Here. The second annual horse show was brought to a close Saturday night following an exhibition lasting three days, during which time the best horses in Jasper and adjoining counties were placed on exhibit and prizes awarded. The judge at the show was Col. Claude P. Madden, of Danville, 111., decisions seem to have been very satisfactory and who based his awards entirely on his judgment regarding horqes, and he seemed to be a man of mighty good horse sense. The crowds at the show were a big disappointment both Thursday and Friday, but Saturday there was an unusually large crowd In town, probably almost as many people coming in rigs from the country as ever visited Rensselaer in one day. There were probably not so many from other towns, however, and there was a difference in the spending proclivities, probably due to the fact that there were not as many young people as generally attend events where there are many attractions. The show was a success from the standpoint of the number and quality of the exhibits and from the effect it is certain to have in inspiring the raising of improved stock. This improvement was shown within the past year and the judge unhesitatingly pronounced the show far ahead of the one last year. The stock was better because the breeding stock is improving in Jasper county and it was better groomed and in better condition for the show. One of the encouraging things about this show was the fact that stock was brought from a considerable distance and local breeders had an opportunity. of seeing the best there is at other places and to make a study of fine stock.

Saturday was not only the largest in the matter of crowd but also the best from the show standpoint, owing to the fact that draft animals were shown on that day and this is particularly an age of heavy animals. They are the profitable horse on the farm and find the readiest market, and the greatest effort has been spent in their developement by the importation of good stallions and some good brood mares. The driving stock was good, extremely good, and it was unfortunate that more people were not here to see it. The ponies and mules formed a fine exhibit Friday and it is probable no show held in Indiana gave a finer exhibit of ponies, the ,Peck & Washburn herd of Remington, being a fine lot of Shetlands.

The Crumpacker Meeting.

Hon. E. D. Crumpacker, congressman from the 10th district of Indiana, will address the public on the political issues Wednesday evening of this week at the Princess Theatre, which Chairman Moses Leopold has rented for the occasion.

Ho delivers a speech free from bitterness, but filled with logic and will be pleased to answer all questions that may be asked of him as well as to discuss those things which are of the most vital interest in national politics. Republicans in and near Rensselaer, old soldiers, men of every walk of life, owe it to themselves to turn out and. hear their representative in the national house of representatives. Congressman Crumpacker has never shirked any duty since he has been in congress and we are certain that he will be able to convince his hearers that he is giving thought of their welfare and honest consideration to all questions that confront American statesmen.

WRENS WIN THREE OUT OF FOUR DURING WEER.

Boswell Got Away With Sunday’s Game After Being Defeated Saturday in Best Game Played. The Wrens lost to Boswell In a hard luck game Sunday after having defeated the same team Saturday. The Sunday game brought to a close the local baseball season. It was not as good a contest as the one of Saturday, but the rivalry was intense and • some good plays were pulled off and the enthusiasm exhibited by the large crowd was reason to believe that if the Wrens had played more games with real stiff teams during the season the attendance would have been better and the local enthusiasm correspondingly increased. The summary of the Saturday and Sunday games is given herewith but the Sunday game only is written up, although the Saturday game, from the spectators’ standpoint, was a much better one, the visitors pulling off a couple of doubles and doing some very fine fielding. They were, however, unable to do much With Johnny Hank’s delivery and secured only three hits, one of which went for three bases, although had Wilcox not misjudged it, it would not have been a hit, and Boswell would have been whitewashed. The Wren hitting Saturday was timely and yet the visitors would have only lost by a 3 to 1 score save for two errors in left field by Ladd. Carl Crandall, of Wadena, played with Boswell Saturday. He has been playing with Memphis, In the Southern league, and is a fine player, but did not have a chance to show much of his work. He went to Hoopston, 111., to play Sunday. The Wrens could not hit timely Sunday. That lost them the game. Boswell made eight errors, all costly and the Wrens repeatedly had men on bases and frequently it looked as though they were certain to score but when the curtain rung down on the final contest the Wrens y had but 4 scores and Boswell had 5. Hannah, of Watseka, who caught the Saturday and Sunday gaes, made a miss of the first ball Sunday and Gruver turned the error into a score. The hit was very high and almost into the pitcher’s box, where Jensen could have handled it nicely, but Hannah went after it and having the big mit, Jensen stepped aside and gave him a chance, but it got away. Bad start. Gruver went to second on a passed ball, the only one Hannah had made during the two games, and scored a moment later when Miller hit. Wilson also hit and when Beland got a base on balls the bases were filled and things looked bad, but L. Jensen made a quick return of Moyer’s grounder, forcing Miller and Nichols brought down Wilson by another, shooting Reutter’s screecher to Hannah. Reutter finished the side by a grounder to Hanks, which retired Moyer at third. Only one score and the Wrens were lucky, for a bobble would have meant two more runs. The visitors made another run in the fourth with a double by Serois and a triple by Gruver. In the fifth they made two more, Beland getting a hit, Moyer being hit by a pitched ball and Fleming following with a hit. In the sixth after two were down, Ladd hit to Nichols and seemed to be out at first base, but the ump saw it differently and when Le&tis hit Ladd moved around to third and scored on Gruver’s hit to Nichols, which seemed to have been handled quick enough toGiave retired Gruver, but the umpire said not. Miller flew out to L. Jensen, who had retired from the box after the fifth in favor of Lakey. That was all for the Boswellltes, but it was enough, for the Wrens got one less. The Wrens scored in the third. Hanks Was hit with a pitched ball and stole second. He went to third on Serois’ error of a lively grounder by Wilcox and scored when Jensen was thrown out at first. The Wrens got two more in the fifth. Hanks led off with a hit but waß thrown put trying to steal. Hannah got a base on balls and Wilcox made a two bagger. The former scored when Moyer made an error of a high throw from Wilson and Wilcox came on around when Ladd missed Swartzell’s fly. With a man on second and another on third, Lakey was called out on strikes. Nichols’ single and Hannah’s double did not bring anything in the sixth, but in the eighth Nichols scored by some daring base running after Serois had made an error of his grounder and Wilcox had hit. Wilcox started to go on down to second, thinking Moyer would throw the ball home, but he didn’t do it, and Wilkie got caught, retiring the side.
