JUNE 10. 1910 No. I RACE MEET AT CANBY YOUNG LADIES LADIES TO BE CONGRATULATED Upon the Success of the Clack amas County Rose Exhibits WIN PRIZES Attrcatcd Over A Thousand People There Saturday Fair Was A Success At the Second Annual Oratori cal and Essay Contest at Gladstone June 4 OREGON CITY BR The best race moot ever held in Clackamas comity raire off last Satur day at Canby on the Clackamas Coun ty Fair Association's track. Over one thousand people were in attend ance and all enjoyed the fanoy work of tlie speed horses. The weather was of the best, and nnder the able management of aim Liurisey the affair was bound to be a saocrss. The entries for the 2:25 trot were called out first and were well tilled with Coma. Zozo. Padishaw. Yutu and Dallas Boy, with the following at the ribbons; Dr. Young, uuy xouug, Lindbey, Entherford and Deeriug. Three heals placed Coma first. Pad itihaw second and Yutu third. Tlie 2:20 pace was fillea with the following horses: i'iorenoe vuugnn, Lord Kidney Dillon, Kiug Lovelace, and Rlnn .Tnr.kfik. with drivers as fol lows: Lindsey, Deering, Young and Uroguy. The one-hundred-dollar purse went as follows: Lord Sidney Dillon first, King Lovelace second and Bias Jacket third. The farmers' road race had three entries and caused considerable amusement and much worry to the starter. First money went to the McKay horse. The matoh race between R. Ambush and Zolock was great, and the two fine specimens of speed horses made a great demonstration that was well worth the price of admission. Zolock won the first two Heats by a small margin and carried the four-hundred-dollar purse away. The Canby Band furnished the music and plenty of it and it was first-olass and appreciated by all. Canby Band certainly deserves a oom pilment. The feature of the day was the breaking of the Northwest reoord by King Lovelace, time 1 :80 on the half mile track. This was due to the good condition of the traoa, whioh is another boost to show that the county fair track is the best half niile track in the state. The horse men were all pleased with the meet and will be back for the races this fall at the county fair, Sep tember 29, 80 and October 1. Ttie people were all pleased and will be back to see some more good races at the fair this fall. CLARENCE L. EATON TAKES BAR EXAMINATION Clarence L.

Jones, with a beautiful set of sterling silver forks. Although of the purest quality the forks were no better than the impromptu reply from that most excellent student of Shakes peare, Mrs. Jones, who after a few words indicating her surprise very fit tingly quoted the following from "As You Like It." "Hath not old custom made this life More sweet than that of painted porupr Are not these woods more free from Peril than the envious court? Here feel we but the penalty of Adam. The season's difference as the icy fangs And churlish chiding of the winter's wind Whioh when it bites and blows upon my body Even till 1 shrink with cold, I smile and say 'This is no flattery.' These are but counsellors that Feelingly persuade me what I am. Sweet are the uses of adversity Which like the toad, ugly and veno mous, Wears yet a precious jjwel in his crown. And this our life exempt from publio haunt Finds tongues in trees, books in running brooks, Sermons in stones and good In everything. I would not change it." ' , ( " ' I 1. l X j0 HON. CEO. C.
