HAGERSTQWH FAIR

FULL BLAST Good Crowd on Grounds Yesterday and All Pleased at What They Saw. if HE RACES INTERESTING SPECTATORS WERE DISAPPOINTED IN THE RUNNING RACE AND MANY CLAIM THAT IT WAS "FIXED UP." Featured by excellent racing. good Exhibits and the most desirable weather, the first big day of the Wayne County fair at Hagerstown yesterday was a decided success In every way. Notwithstanding the fact that Wallace's circus was showing In New Castle yesterday and drew a large number of people away from the fair, there was at least three thousand people on the grounds. The greatest attraction for the morning visitors was the live stock exhibit. There are a large number of exhibitors and the stock Is of the blue ribbon variety. Mrs. Merldeth has an excellent bunch of shorthorns which she Is showing and they are attracting much attention from stock fanciers. When viewing the fair from the amusement side, nothing more could be wished for, as the very best of county fair attractions are at Hagerstown this week. The races occupied the attention of the large crowd In the afternoon. The only thing to mar the enjoyment of this." was the alleged crooked work of two Jockles In the runniae race. In the first heat "Frank Kesslnger" won out by a length over the popular favorite "Two 8" but in the second heat, when the field was coming down the home stretch, with "Frank Kesslnger" again ji the lead, but with "Two 8" flanMns h'm and looking good to win, theUocUey on the leading horse turned to ,lbe Jockey riding the popular favorite, and made some remark. The latter began to rein In immediately and leaving the field to "Frank Kesslnger.", From the actions of the jockles it looked like a deliberate attempt to "throw" the race. The three year old pace afforded good racing and Jlmmte Tranter own ed by W. W. Marvin of Lafayette won three straight heats with ease. The half mile road race was won by , D. B.

THE CIRCULATION OF THE PALLADIUM YESTERDAY WAS 2,735 The Palladium hereby invites and urges the business men of Richmond to investigate the accuracy of the Palladium's circulation figures.

INNES' VISIT HERE WAS POPULAR ONE Both Concerts at Coliseum Were Well Attended and Greatly Appreciaed. LEADS WITH GREAT EASE MANY OF THE PIECES PLAYED BY THE MUSICIANS WERE OF A POPULAR NATURE WHICH SATISFIED THE AUDIENCE. Innes and his great orchestral band made their first visit to Richmond yesterday. The occasion was a pleasant one and the music loving people of Richmond sincerely hope that the organization may choose to come here again next year and succeeding seasons. Although capable of interpreting the most classic of music, Innes did not confine his musicians to such yesterday in the two concerts at the Coliseum, and that is perhaps the very best reason why the band gained such popularity. Director Innes seems to control his band with the greatest ease. He resorted to no gymnastic movements such as those followed by Sousa and some other prominent leaders, yet he sems to get results. That Innes is a composer of no mean ability was attested by the reception given his own compositions, one played in the afternoon and the other at night. . Prof. D.R . Ellabarger and S. A. Thompson, who had charge of the local arrangements for Innes, deserve credit for their efforts. The band will play at Muncie today. "BRUISER" WAS POISONED MANY MOURN FOR HIM Pretty Water Spaniel that Followed Patrick McKinley Was Killed Yesterday Dog Poisoner About Who Lacks Much Gray Matter. "Bruiser," 14 years of age, owned by Frank Enfield, and better remembered as the brown water spaniel that followed Pat McKinley around, was poisoned with Paris Green and died yesterday morning. There is scarcely an adult, ami still fewer children, who do not remember the dog as he was a great1" favorite with every person who knew him. He used to follow the fire department on every call until four years ago. Homer Morgan, living on North D street, lost a fine fox terrier at about the same time that "Bruiser" went to the Dog Olympus. Paris Green was used in this case also. HER DEATH WAS SUDDEN Mrs. A. C.

TS ARRESTED HERE Detained for Cambridge Authorities, Where They Were Fined for Speeding. THE FAST DRIVE COST $16 MARSHALL DRISCHELL CAME TO THIS CITY FOR AUTOI3TS AND CREATED MUCH MERRIMENT BY ACTIONS. ' Two automobilists, the driver giving his name as C. A. Ferguson, of Dayton, but thought to be Carl Fisher of Indianapolis, were detained at City Hall last night by the police, pending the arrival of the Cambridge City Marshall, who had telephoned that they were speeding through his town. "Well, I've got you," panted Marshall Daniel Drischell, as he rushed into the City Hall from the 9:20 interurban car with a sworn deputy at his heels. "Goin sixty miles an hour" this to bystanders, "and just escaped running over three children," said Marshall Dan. "Makes my second catch of these scorchers." The two men who were bound for Dayton, wanted to settle up the fine here and be permitted to proceed on their way, but Drischell insisted on taking them to Cambridge. The party finally returned to Cambridgewhere the driver of the car was arraigned in 'Squire Prltchard's court and given a 11 o'clock trial, being fin ed $5 and costs, amounting in all to $16. It was claimed that the machine came near running over Carl Ingerman and Robert Krone, who were crossing the street in Cambridge. IS OLD TIME PRESSURE Henry County Gas. Wells Showing up in Their Old Form Once 1 More. ' New Castle, Ind., July 25, (Spl.) During the last four days two excellent gas wells have been-drilled in this section of Henry County. Both, when tested, showed up the old-time rock pressure of 350 pounds. This pressure was never ecuald even in the palmy days of the local gas field. These two wells will do New Castle no good, although just a few miles from the city, owing o the fact that one well is the property of the Richmond Gas Company, while the other belongs to Knightstown. The gas supply for New Castle Is practically a thing of the past, the local field having been exhausted.

RUNAWAY WAS EXCITING PHAETON WAS SMASHED Horse Belonging to Dr. Pierce, Started at Ninth and Main Streets and Ma'0ea Mad Run Down Main Street and Across the River. The horse and phaeton belonging to Dr. Pierce, the dentist, figured in a spectacular and exciting runaway yesterday forenoon. The start was made at Ninth and Main, the animal becoming frightened from some cause and pulling itself free from the strap with which it was hitched to the curb, dashed west on Main street, circling about vehicles and street cars by dangerously close margins. Owing to the fact that the bridle had been torn from the horse, there was none of the scores of men who witnessed the runaway, disposed to make an attempt to stop it. At Fourth and Main street the outfit narrowly escaped colliding with a buggy in which Mrs. Henry Fox and daughter were seated. The tightened horse continued its westward course across the Main street bridge and then turned south into West First street, where it came to a stop, being fatigued from its long run. The horse escaped injury, but the phaeton was badly wrecked.
