like the banner card, a great race.
Relay Race a HummeKJ 'V.S
The splendid string of horses enter
ed by Mays of Wallowa, coupled' with'
the remarkable changing skill of
"Wade the rider allowed Mays to win
the relay by a narrow margin of" a lew
seconds. The third contest of the four
opened the afternoon's performance.
Mays had a trifle the best time up to
that time, but Kelly, on Jim Blake
ly's string reduced the' lead' slightly.
The finale act on the program was the
concluding test of the relay. Blakely's
string lost the race in the second half
mile of that race. Kelly's horse in that
section was a mean brute and knocked
its owner down with great force in
the change, v The" horse lost fully 60
yards by the mishap and Wade was
going full tilt the meanwhile, but the
last hqse Blakely sent In, overtook the
lead and finished in a gruelling spurt
of speed, neck and neck with Mays.
Kejly had the better mount but could
not overcome the previous shortage' in
time and the seconds lost in the sec
ond half mile. Kelly didn't get away
with quite 'the smoothness and die-

justice could be obtained." explained
tbe teacher, "persons suspected of cer
tain crimes were tried by what was
known as the 'ordeal.' One of these
was the' 'ordeal of Ore.' Hot plow
shares were laid at short intervals
along tbe victim's path, and tbe sus
pected person was blindfolded and
compelled to walk over them. If be
succeeded lb doing It without stepping
on tbe hot Irons be was deemed Inno

adjudged guilty. Who would submit
