ANNUAL EXHIBITION. 
129 
At 12 o’clock excellent addresses were delivered by Gover¬ 
nor Austin of Minnesota, Governor Fairchild of Wisconsin and 
Charles Seymour, Esq., of La Crosse; all of which, as reported 
in the daily papers of Milwaukee, will be found in this vol¬ 
ume. 
The trials of speed which were several and generally credit¬ 
able to Wisconsin stock, were well reported in the Milwaukee 
Sentinel , from whose columns, for the gratification of the parties 
interested and of others who delight in fleet horses, we quote 
the following: 
THE RUNNING HORSES. 
This race proved to he one of the most interesting of the fair, and upon 
the whole was as fine a race as was ever run on Cold Spring course. There 
were three entries, John Ross, of Mineral Point, naming Canada, J. B. Cut¬ 
ting, of Darlington, naming Twenty Cents ; H. W. McAfferty, of Columbus, 
naming Kitty Stacey. In the drawing, Kitty Stacey won the pole, Twenty 
Cents the second, and Canada the outside place. The race was for a pre¬ 
mium of $100 to the first, and $50 to the second, mile heats, best three in 
five. 
First Heat .—An excellent send-off was obtained, Kitty and Canada strug¬ 
gling for the lead. At the eighth-mile they were neck-and-neck, and con¬ 
tinued around the track in that position and down the home stretch, and 
though each strained every nerve to gain the advantage, they passed the 
string together, and the heat was declared dead. Time, 1:47%. No finer 
specimen of running was ever seen on the track. Twenty Cents apparently 
made no effort to win, but simply saved a distance, coming in quite fresh. 
Second Heat .—The horses were up to work on time, and obtained a fair 
start. Canada was slightly behind, and fell still further in the rear before 
reaching the half-mile stake. At that point he commenced to gain, and 
pressed Kitty hard down the back stretch, and on turning down home he 
was neck-and-neck with her. Both, animals ran handsomely, each being 
determined to win. When within eighty yards of the stand, by a prodigious 
effort Canada obtained the lead and passed the string half a neck ahead of 
Kitty in 1:48%. 
Third Heat .—The excitement among the spectators was intense, and the 
horses started amid loud cheers. This time Twenty Cents, who had been 
held back heretofore, was put to his full speed, and took the lead from the 
start, Kitty following and Canada bringing up the rear. On the back stretch 
Canada gained on Kitty and passed her on the turn, pressing Twenty Cents 
closely up the home stretch, but notwithstanding the speed made he was 
unable to overtake the sorrel, and took the heat in 1:49, Canada being a 
length behind, and Kitty third.
