WORLD'S GREAT PACERS

Dan Patch and Four Others Coming to Indiana State Fair.

Five of the world's greatest pacers, all of them belonging to M. W. Savage of Minneapolis, will make up the chief attraction in the speed department at the Indiana State Fair. Thi3 list of turf stars is headed by the champion of champions, Dan Patch, whose record of 1:55 has never been equaled, and with him will be Minor Heir, 1:59*4: Hedgewood Boy. 2:02% Lady Maud C., 2:02%, and George Gano, 2:03%. Dan Patch will never again be started against time, but he will be on exhibition at the Indiana fair.

The other Savage horses, however, •will show their speed on different occasions at the fair. On Monday the four will race against each other. During the week Hedgewood Boy and Lady Maud C. will race against Minor Hefr and George Gano, the two teams being hitched to wagons. On one afternoon of the fair Minor Heir, with a running pacemaker, will attempt to lower the world's mile record. Minor Heir is now the pacing sensation of the racing world.

Dan Patch will at the fair have a stall in the big brick barn, where his apartment will be highly decorated with the trophies he has won. He will frequently be jogged on the racecourse for the crowds to see him in action. He has won enough fame to retire from the racecourse, and for ten years has been without a peer in the harness world. In manners, disposition, in courage, gameness and speed he has stood alone, and is the recognized standard of harness horse perfection. He has paced 73 miles under two minutes, lowered the world's record fourteen times, and now holds seven world's records, and he is to

GLOWING NIGHT SHOWS Gorgeous Spectacles to be Given At Indiana Exposition.

Gorgeous as they have been in the past, the night shows at the coming Indiana State Fair will outrank these spectacular events of other years. The shows have been reorganized and by eliminating the vaudeville bill, which will be given each afternoon before the grandstand of the race track, the arena of the coliseum will in the evening be ocupied exclusively by show horses. A concert will be given by Weber's band, of Cincinnati, with Miss Blanche Mehaffey as soloist, both strong favorites with state fair visitors. There has been a liberal increase in the money prizes for the night shows, $4,930 going to the harness horses and $2,305 to saddle horses, and the entry lists make it clear that the horse show is going to be of the highest quality. Roadsters, highsteppers, gig outfits, tandems, unicorns, four-in-hands, fancy turnouts driven by men and women, will be conspicuous in the programs. In the saddle classes there will be events for three and five gaited animals and high school horses, with special equestrian contests for women. Mrs. C. Knode, of Indianapolis, who has won many prizes at the fair's horse shows will give a handsome silver cup to the best woman equestrian. The American Saddle Horse Breeders' Association will give a $100 silver trophy to the best saddle horse.

One of the choicest attractions for the night shows will be Manuel Herzog's highly educated Arabian stallions—six beautiful society animals, which give a varied program of fancy steps^ military maneuvers and marches, and the horses are also put through many individual paces. These horses have been very popular in the winter garden at. Berlin, Germany at the' New York hippodrome, and also s.t th Madison Square Garden Horse Show.

The night shows also have a class for business horses, including ribbon .contests for two. four and six-horse teams, the total prizes for them reaching $1 .200, and these showy outfits will give emphasis to the picturesque events of the arena.

Another nieht show at the fair, given on the infield of the racetrack, is Pain's elaborate spectacle, "Battle in the Clouds," showing methods of warfare which may prevail when airships are perfected' as engines of war. This •pectacle will be given on the ground »nd in the air, and will include a high class vaudeville bill and a great display of fireworks. It is to be presented on the same scale of magnificence which marked its first production at Brighton Beach, New York, last year, and it will be the big outdoor night amusement of State Fair week at Indianapolis. An army of men and women in costume will be required and the production will be rich in •ceaic embellishment.

THE

superb physical condition. Minor Heir seems destined to take Dan Patch's place in the realm of pacers. Two years ago he was unknown—today Minor Heir is admitted most experts to have the greatest flights of speed of any horse ever trained, with the possible exception of Dan Patch. Minor Heir's chances of setting a world's mark at the Indiana Fair is regarded as exceptionally good.

Hedgewood Boy has this season been showing more remarkable speed qualities than ever, and Lady Maud C. and George Gano are in fine fettle.

Favors a County Fair.

James M. Duncan, of route ten attended the Middletown fair last week. Mr. Duncan used to take much interest in the Hancock county fair, and said it was a shame that there was no fair in as good a county as Hancock. He says that there is plenty of ground accessible at the old fair ground yet to make a good fair, and he is favorable to the organization of a fair association, and would gladly take stock in it.

Mrs. R. O. Rogers and son, Robert, have returned from an extended visit with friends at Portland, Ind.

Hancock county is a banner county, with fertile soil—well improved—and a people enterprising and progressive.

Greenfield, the county seat, with a population of 5,000, owns its electric light and water system has well kept streets and homes. These with the nlany public buildings, schools, churches, newspapers, business enterprises, manufactories and electric lines afford her citizens all the advantages, with scarcely any of the disadvantages of the large cities.

Next Saturday to be the Day For the

Fair Ground Races and Many

Will Attend.

The races at the old fair grounds will be Saturday instead of Friday as announced in this paper. It will include pacing, trotting and running. Ransom Frazier, who had intended to race his Western Horseman mare against the Pauley mare, will drive an exhibition heat or will drive her wTith a running horse.

At the races Saturday money will be raised in the way of small purses to be given to the winners. A small admission fee of 25 cents will be charged. The'interest in the affair is growing.

OBITUARY

Beautiful are the flowers that bloom above Where all is joy and all is love Naught can disturb that peaceful sleep Then why should we for loved ones weep.

Death seems to be no respecter of persons. It enters the home and plucks the bright flowers. Though our hearts are made sad, we can but say, "Thy will be done and not ours," for "Tis but the voice that Jesus sends to call them to His arms."

Again death has entered the home of Rufus and Daisy Wilson and taken from them their infant son. John M. Wilson. He was born Nov. 6, 1909, and died July 31, 1910, aged S months and 25 days. His sickness wras of short duration, only being sick five days. His suffering was great, especially toward the last, when at 3 o'clock Sunday the beautiful life of a sweet little babe went out to be transplanted in heaven. He wTas a very promising child. He seemed to be unusually bright. That, together with his

sAveet

disposition, made him

of great promise to his parents, especially his father, who doted on him so much as being not only a help to him, but a comfort to him in his declining years. But alas! How soon our hopes may be blighted in this life. The only true hope looks beyond this vale of tears and what we now mourn as dead shall rise and bloom to fade no more.

Since Jesus came and taught us the lesson of his resurrection from the dead,

the

grave has lost

its

gloom

and death robbed of its sting. "Knowing that He which raised up Jesus, shall raise us up also," II Cor. 4: 14.

What can be more beautiful? What can be more pure than the life of a little babe? Beautiful as the white lilly arrayed in all its splendor. It sends out its fragrance as the sweet scented rose to give joy aud gladness to the hearts of those for whose home it was sent to bless. Pure because sin has never entered the heart to mar its happiness. Pure and holy because Jesus has taught us this lesson when He said, "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not., for of such is the kingdom of heaven." He also said, "Except ye become as a little child ye can not enter the kingdom of heaven.."

This sweet little bud has only been transplanted to bloom in heaven. It is safe from all care and temptation. Instead of you having to guard his feet from the. tempter's snares in after years, for there are many, there will be a still small voice calling, this way papa, this way mamma.

There is another guiding star for you, to point you to heaven. John has £one to join brother and sister in that better land. Your dear ones are safely sheltered -there and may you so live that you may never lose sight of heaven, where there will be no more parting from dear ones. Although heaven may seem far, yet they are gone, gone but a ltttie way.

The funeral sermon was by Rev. Maurice Barrett, at Brown's Chapel. Interment at Caldwell cemetery.
