It is quite certain that an attempt will
be made to form a new county of por
tions of Crook and Grant, with the
county seat at Mitchell.; "A ;.new. county
would prove convenient to the people
who are now forced to travel a long dis
tance to the county seat : but whether
there is population or wealth enough in
, the district -to -maintain a county gov-
ernment, we are unable to say.

J. P. Mclnerny's fine horse Rockland
Boy had its leg broken yesterday in the
second heat of the 4 mile and i repeat.
An accident like this always causes a
shudder .of sympathy from the wit
nesses, and there was genuine sorrow in
the crowd when the noble horse pain
fully limped across, bis foot dangling
loosely from a broken joint. The damage
was done on the tarn into the ' home
stretch, but just how it occurred is a
mystery. Some think the horse s hoof
struck a small stone and turned, but an
examination of tbe track found no stones
that would cause such an occurence.
The jockey's explanation was that the
foot was twisted by being placed too
much at an angle in turning. Rockland
Boy was far in the lead as the horse
swung into tbe last stretch and everyone
thought it was his race. As it was the
animal showed fine grit in running a
quarter of a mile in such a damaged
condition. As soon as possible be was
taken to the stable and an examination
made by Dr. Long, the owner of Mon
tana and a veterinary surgeon of merit,
pronounced the break to be between the
ankle and the hoof and believed that it
could be set. With the help of some of
the attendants he quickly brought the
horse into position and placed the leg in
bandages., The horse never flinched
during the operation and this morning
seems free from pain. Rockland Boy
was owned "by J. P. Mclnerny, of this
city, and was a great favorite on the cir
cuit, especially at The Dalles. He was
nine years old and had won many races.
If he hadn't been hurt yesterday he
would, probably have added one more to
the number, bat he will never again
pass nnder the wire in a contest. In the
same heat, Chester G belonging to S. E,
Ferris, also received a strain inlthe front
foot, which will put him in the horse
hospital for some time. His injury is
not believed to be very serious and Mr,
Ferris thinks he will recover and be in
good condition.
Siretta won the 1st heat, Cheater G
2nd, Rockland Boy 3rd; Little Joe 4th,
time 52 seconds. In the second heat
Siretta again was the winner; Little
Joe 2nd; Chester G 3rd; Rockland Bov
4th. Time, 52 seconds. Purse $175.00,
The saddle race was for horses
owned - in this county and limited
to -amaieurs" only. :xne -purse
was $50 and the entries . were T. J,
Driver's horse Morgan; Red Weasel,;
owned by J. P. Boen of Wapinitia and
Nola G, belonging to S. E. Ferris of Tbe
Dalles. The horses went off on a good
start and swung into, the homestretch
nearlv even. Then Horean went anead
and seemed io bave the race, when sud
denly Kola . G forged ahead,' Morgan
second and Red Weasel third ; time, 55
The grounds ; this morning presented
an animated appearance. Owners of
stock were currying and brushing their
animals preparatory to the decision of
the judges. The trainers were out walk
ing their race horses up and down for
exercise." Some of the horses were being
sped on the track by the jockeys and
everything looked as though the biggest
largest in the fair's history. Among tbe
exhibits whioh caught the reporter's eye
were some fine looking Merino sheep,
exhibited, by A. R. Thompson, Esq.
He has in tbe pens 20 Merino yearlings
and five grade Merinos, which make an
interesting exhibit which will well re
pay a visit. He has also a Jersey cow
entered.
Hon. Rob t. Mays has entered a 3-
year-old Short Horn bull, called Gold
Dollar, gentle as a kitten, and altogether
a splendid animal. , 'He also has a 2-year-old
heifer and calf on exhibition.
County Surveyor Sharp has a large
list of Galloway cattle And one of An
gus stock. He says these cattle have
been allowed to run wild and no partic
ular attention has been paid them, but
they have the appearance of good stock.
P. T. Sharp enters two cattle, one of
Angus and the other of Galloway breed.
W. A. Sharp enters one cow and calf,
Short Horn grade.
W. J. Davidson has a mare and colt,
besides some pigs, on exhibition.
J. B. Morton has a good looking pony
in one of the stalls.
The stock of Robt. Kelly has already
been mentioned. His imported stallions
cannot be beaten for good looks, and at
tract many visitors.
Mr. R. Guthrie of Sherman county
shows a large bull, whose closer ac
quaintance we were unable to form.
Thos. Glavey of Dufur exhibits a fine
large Clydesdale stallion and five mares
and colts.
Geo. Snipes has for exhibition some
2 year old black mules which, for males,
are good animals.
S. E. Ferris has on the grounds a
thoroughbred stallion, Larry O'Gaff.
He also has a string of race horses
Chester G, Nola G and Blue Jay, all of
which have been very successful in tak
ing parses. . .
There are some fast horses this year
whose records are away down. The
class of contestants was never better nor
the races freer from taint of jobbery. It
is confidently expected the running
record will be lowered today and possibly
the trotting record.
THE PAVILION LAST NIGHT.
The attendance last evening at the-
pavilion was very large. Not many new
exhibits came in, as the entries were
already full. The crowd seemed well
pleased with the displays and many com
plimentary remarks, were heard along
the line. The music of the orchestra,
nnder the leadership of Prof. Birgfeld, is
proving a great attraction and is respon
sible in a large measure, for the large
attendance. - Any time that this or
chestra will give a public concert they
may be sure of a large attendance and
hearty appreciation. The music last
evening was delightful and the orchestra
was compelled to - respond to several en
cores. The programme for this evening
is as follows : -' ! '

FAIR NOTES.
The judges yesterday were Hon. Robt,
Mays, A. S. Macallister and W. N. Wi
ley. , M. A. Moody acted as time keeper,
Our fellow-townsman, Mr. Max Vogt,
deserves great credit for his venture in
hop-growing, which has already been
mentioned in Tbb Chronicle. Mr
Vogt imported the seed plants to see if
this country could be made to produce
hops, and his venture has shown con
clusively that, such is the case. In di
versified farming is Wasco county's
great hope. -
The entire orchestra, under the lead
ership of Prof. Birgiield, will furnish
tbe music for the grand ball Saturday
evening. An elaborate program has
been prepared. The usual Siturdav
dance at . the armory has been post
ponedand all its regular attendants are
invited to attend, the ball at the pavilion
An interesting saddle is on exhibition
in one corner of the pavilion. It is the
property of Mrs. F..P. Mays, and a tag
on the saddle shows it to have taken
the first premium at the Ohio state fair
in 1852. . The saddle was made before
the time of machine sewing, and is done
entirely by hand.
The roadster race tomorrow promises
to furnish great sport, and every one had
better be on hand to see what sort of
jockeys some of bur business men make.
The biggest dance ever given . in The
Dalles is going to be given Saturday night
at the pavilion. Every one who wants
to be in the switn should be sure and
attend.
