RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1911.

SOME FINE ANIMALS HERE FOR HORSE SHOW.

Cyrus Rice and John O’Connor, of Remlnfton, and Charles Steel, of Chalmers, Have Good Animals. There 'were not very many horses this Thursday morning at the Leek hitch bam, the place for taking care of the entries for the horse show. Cyrus Rice, of Benton county, south of Remington; John O’Connor, of Remington, and Charles Steel, of Chalmers, are using about all the space so far taken. Mr. Steel has somefifle horses, light harness, draft and general purpose. He has a two-year-old Norman gelding that on its second birthday on June 4th, weighed 1,600’ pounds. It is a great big fellow and should some day weigh a ton. At the present time it is not quite so* heavy as it was two months ago, owing to the fact that it has been running on pasture. In a stall next to this big fellow, Mr. Rice has a general purpose gelding, 7 years of age, and a mighty fine one. He has a bay driving team that will attract a great deal of attention, their dam being a standard bred Wilkes mare and the sire a standard trotter. A team of full blood Norman draft animals, brother and sister, 6 and 7 years of age, and weighing about 3,200 pounds, ie worth coming a long distance to see. It was with this team that Mr. Rice took the first prise for the best draft team last year. In an adjoining stall is another team of Norman drafts from Mr. Rice’s barn. They are 3-year-olds and weigfi about 1,700 each. He also has a saddle animal, which his little mute daughter rode so successfully last year and will again ride this year. This about concludes Mr. Rice’s* show animals and they are all dandies. John O’Connor, of Remington, has a team of driving bays that are in fine condition. They are from good stock, one being sired by Abdallah Wilkes, and the other by Red Wilkes. Mr. O’Connor also has a good general purpose team of iron grays that are onehalf coach and half Norman. Charles Steel, of Chalmers, has a beautiful little driving mare Sired by Abdallah Wilkes stock. She is a chestnut sorrel 5 years of age. He also brought her full brother, a 4-year-old stallion, and one of the shapeliest roadster studs ever shown here. The mule entries were very limited, far too few, and there seems no reasoii why mule owners should not get in and make that feature of the show a success. Too much stress should not be placed on winning. There is no dishonor in having some other fellow get the prize. But stud and jack owners should boost up this show and place more importance on a wider competition. The general purpose show is being held today, Thursday, and the prize winners will be published in tomorrow’s Evening Republican, and the prize winners in all events in the next Semi-Weekly. Friday is light harness horse day and that promises to be a fine show, as also does Saturday, which Is draft horse day. Elmer Fisher, formerly a resident of Rensselaer, is the judge.

Part of Promised Shows Not Here—Looking For Others.

Part of the promised shows did not put In an appearance and Mr. Meek went to Chicago Wednesday evening to try to get others. He had not arrived here at 2:00 o’clock and has probably encountered some difficulty In getting them framed up. His absence leaves no director of the shows on hand and It is impossible to tell just when the free acts will take place. It Is expected, however, that the diving horses will do their stunt at 4 o’clock this afternoon and again at 10 o’clock tonight This act is a good one and delighted all who saw it last night. Vontella and Nina did their act Wednesday afternoon and will go through It each afternoon and evening. Unless Mr. Meek returns 'qyith the other shows there will be some keen disappointment about those on hand.

We want you to come to our millinery parlor, 2nd floor, and let ua show you the neweat creations In tall millinery. Mlsa Bennett,*now In charge of the department, comes to us very highly recommended and we feel sure you wlll.be more than pleased with her ability, both as trimmer and saleslady. Rowles ft Parker, Rensselaer's growing store. The ladles of the Methodist church will give a market, Saturday, Sept 16, at the. Home Grocery. All members are requested to bring or send something.

BRICK ALLEY WENT WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

Partially Constructed Brick Pavement Found Support Poor and Rain Ruined Foundation. A partially completed brick pavement in the alley of block No. 4, extending from Worland’s furniture store to King’s blacksmith shop, is so badly disfigured today that it will have to be taken and the bricks relaid and if it is to be permanent, a better foundation for the brick will have to be used. Brick pavements built on sand do not seem to be very different from houses built on sand, and the partially completed alley is a picture of desolation. Coarse crushed stone formed the base for the pavement and On top of this the sand was dumped and the brick was laid in the sand. Through the crevices between the brick the water went to the sand and carried it through the rock and the brick toppled, some one way and some another. The alley in block three was built in the same manner and after the brick were laid the crevices were filled with sand and cement, making a filler that sheds most of the water. It is feared, however, that enough water through in time to cause the sand to work through the coarse rock and then make the brick settle unevenly. Had screenings been used on top of the coarse rock and thoroughly rolled in before the sand was put on, the difficulty might have been overcome.

Monticello Paper Tells of Visit From Booster Party.

Monticello Herald. A booster party from Rensselaer attracted much attention on the public square here Friday afternoon. The party arrived In town unannounced and went to work at once boosting the Rensselaer Horse Show. Their string of automobiles, fifteen or twenty in number, made quite a showy parade, being decorated with flags and ribbons and headed by Dr. Moore in a silk hat, riding in his own auto, driven by Dr. Hansson, the veterinary. The machine was adorned with a horse’s head, and Dr. Hansson played horse with it to beat the band. While the band played be circled around It cracking bis whip and showhis complete control over the spirited charger in front of him. The automobile, the horsehead, the colored ribbons, the band music, and even the day itself all seemed to be made for Doc, and he was certainly in his element. A number of ladies were in the party, and altogether the booster crowd was a great advertisement for Rensselaer. They returned by way of Monon and Francesvllle.
