INLAND f • •.. VOL. I, No. 3 MOORE, MONTANA, SEPTEMBER 28, If•-• COUNTY FAIR A SUCCESS. Notwithstanding Unfavorable Weath- er Attendance Was Up to Ex. pectation of Management. The Twelfth anntial fatr given by the Fergus County Stock, Agricatiral & Mineral Association passed into his- tory last Friday evening, one of the larirt crowds that ever assembled on the grounds being present to witnerss - the exercises the concluding day. Although the fair omcials were dis- appointed in their earnest efforts to secure outside horses, the racing at- tractions were good. The failure to get in some speedy racers from the outside was in no way the fault of the associatkin`officers. Secretary Bel- den went over to Bozeman for the es- pecial purpose of getting horsemen to bring in their horses and got the prom- ise of some of the best known racers In the state but the race meeting which was gotten up in Anaconda, long after all of the fair dates had been arrang- ed, and the fact that the Smelter City men could afford to put up fine purses, disarranged the well laid plans of See- retary Belden and none of the horses came. It was a keen disappointment to hirn as it was to all of the other fair . officers but it could not be helped. There will not be a repetition of this unfortunate feature, however. The state has now been divided into two racing circuits and Lewistown is 4n the eastern circuit with such good towns is Helena, Bozeman, Billings and Livingston. The fair dates will be fixed by a state association of fait secretaries and there will be no con- flicts. In this manner, some good horses will be brought to Lewistown and the patrons of the fair will see as good racing as can be seen in any part of -the state. As usual, the crowd the first day was small. But the second day, there was a great outpouring and it was estimat- ed that there were close to 2,000 people on the grounds. From the standpoint of weather the day could not - have been more disagreeable but the crowd went just the same. There was a yet larger crowd on the grounds the third day and the total attendance was be- tween four thousand and five thous- and. The racing•program contained some good events. The gentlemen's driving eint the second day attracted no lit- tle attention. The drivers who - enter- ed were Senator John D. Waite, Sant Weaver. Firman Tullock and W. D. Symmes. After two or three bad starts they finally got the word to go and it *as a pretty race all the way round. with Weaver leading and Waite press. . ing him close. they came under the wire in that way. Tullock being ,third and Stmmes fourth. The three minute trot' and pace event on the first day furnished ambe excite- ment. There wer hree entries, Lit- • tle Cedrick, Kittle Lo Dewey. who won the • Kitty Lomond. ook the 7 --Ireate,--The-6004 t: •••• nd and Dewey st . heat,• and wo. succeeding 4nAvi1eh-the old time favorite, 3..Dean, and • Little_ Torn were entered wakmarticu- ' larly ' exciting. The game little gray mare finished first but was push!. ed to the limit by the black in the last rod or two. Young Anderson's pony • was, first and the Ricks pony second _ _in the pony raft._ The biggest event on the program was, perhaps, the cowboy relay race. There were three entries„ Deputy sher- iff Ed Silverthorne, William Lorimer and B.G. Burnett. Silverthorne got away well the fhilt day anti cot the first mile, hard pressed • by Lorinser. Lorimer gained in the second ark - f3 1- verthorne met with a set back on the last change which practically pest him out of the running. His horses dashed • out of the ctorrel and It was four or five minutes before he got started again. Mirnett also suffered this misfortune a:nd Lorimer took advantage of the chance to open up a big dietance be tween himself and his competitora. The ,times for the firth day were: Lor- imer, 10:06 2-5; Silverthorne, 14:36 2-5; Burnett, 18:093-5. Lorimer increased his lead the second day, th3 time be- ing: Lorimer, 10:32 1-2; Silverthorne, 10:47 1-2; and Burnett, 13:27 1-4. MI- verthorne won the daily stake of $25 the pird day by beating Lorirper out and making the best time of the three heate. The time this day was: Silver- thorne. 9:22; Lorimer, 10:33, and Bur- nett. 12:47. Total time: Lorimer, 31: -10; Sliverthof:ne, 35:23 7-10, and tt, 45:23 17-20. Lorimer thus • mulled down' the p'urse. The races the third day were prob- ably better than on any previous day and attracted a great deal of attention. gm the special pace event Kitty Lo - %n two of the three heats. In the special trot, Sam Weaver drove kis horse in ahead of H. B. Varney in two satraight heati2:45 being the beef time. 'Daisy Dea took aniother five. eightlps dash froth \Buck\ and Black Bird- in a stiff finish. Carl Moshner Pushed his pony under the wire first in the pony race, MelviA Anderson being world and Sylvis Finkbelner third. The- raees, however, were by no means the entire attraction. The high school boys and a team from , the T. M. C. A: played two fine games of basket ball the second and third after- noons. In both contests the high school lads were the winners, the first day . lry a score of 14 to 4 and the sec- ond day by a score of 11 to 4, although the Y. M. C. A, disputed this score and say that it should have been S to 4, in- asmuch as some of thr/Inints wete made on clear fotils. The hest form shown during either game was by the high ah . 00l in the first halt of the first game. they played a fast, accurate, snappy game, all of them keeping their heads at ev- ery polTit.

Some excellent %Hooting was done, Weaveh getting 24 out of 35 in the Wilson Chal- lenge medal' and Ward—getting 10 straight in the consolation event.
