VOL. IX. NO. 52 BRIGADIER THE WINNER The Most Exciting Race Ever Trotted on the Local Track. The most ejtciting race ever, trotted on the local track was | pulled off Tuesday afternoon. For sometime this race has been looked forward to, the friends of each horse believing their favor ite the fastest. When the hour for the race ar rived there was a crowd of people at the trpck anxious for the race to start. Nigger Boy drew the pole for the fiist heat, and after scoring several .times, the horses were started with Brigadier neaily two lengths behind, the owner of Brigadier insisted, 011 the start whether the horses were even or not. The heat was a fast one, the time made was 2:10. At 110 time during this beat could Brigadier take the pole although he gained on Nigger Boy and came under the wire only half a length behind. The secoi d heat was not as fast as the first, Brigadier seemingly lost heart and did not'push the black beauty. Nigger Boy won ' the second heat. There were lots of applause for Mizell the driver. The third heat was the'" most trying on the horses, the scoring being something fierce. Brigadier had the blacks horse beat before the judges ever • started tbem. When the hotses were finally started Brigadier gained 011 his rival and when the back stretch was reached passed him. As Simp son forced his horse by Nigger Boy the latter broke, and from that time till the last heat was trotted there was no hope of Nigger Boy win ning the race. The driving of both horses was excellent. Nigger Boy died hard, giving Brigadier the he had in every heat. It was a race worth seeing, and those witnessing the event surely got the worth of their money.

Turkey Swamp vs Briar Hatch (Special ( Saturday afternoon, at the race track, one of the most exciting games of the season was played between Turkey Swamp and Briar Patch ball teams. Unfortunately, the sun was in the players' eyes during first two innings, which made the be ginning featureless, and it proved that the game was practically de cided in these two innings for no more runs were scored. After a short lapse of time the sun's position changed, and from then on the spectators were held Triple plays were frequent, and caused much grand stand applause. Tuggle's second base playing for Turkey' Swamp was one of r tbe features of the game. The score was 8 to 16 favoring Briar Patch. • , list TrntMit fir a Biri If for no other reason, Chamber lain's Salve shou'd Be kept in every household on account of its great value in the treatment of burns It allays the pain almost instantly, and unless the injury is a severe one, heals the parts without leav ing a scar.

For years it has been tlwcustPtfr of circuses to lilake some' feature, advertise it as a drawing card, and then surround it with I cheap and inferior acts. This is 1 not the plan of the Great Cole brothers' Show, which will be at Williamstou on Wednesday Sep temlci \o. I They feature no particular acts, for with this shew every act is a feature and any one of the acts j would be a strongly advertised fea ture with other shows. What with ■ another show would be a head liner is, but an ordinary act with the I Great Cole Brothers' Shows. When the show was organized for the present season the Cole brothers gave their agents carte blanche or- in seeming the cream of the circus talent, and that they were successful is made evident by the j assemblage of the world's star ar- I lists with this show. European and ■ American talent contributed tie {leaders of areal artist, riders, gym-1 ' nasts, acrobats, contortionist, leap iers, tumblers, droll and funny clowns, trainel animals and in fact, all that goes to make up a { circus of such extreme merit and j stupendous magnitude as the great Cole show. While many j show s boast of strong European attractions, and try to convince the J public by using unpronounceable names, for their performers, that : this is the proper form the Cole : brothers diffeT from them. Amer ica hps always and probably will always furnish the star performtrs j and best acts and features. While i there are many. Europlean special ities with the great Cole Brothers' Show, the very best acts mid lead- I ing performers are of - American ' j origin.
