The free-for-all trot was easy for Bertha Lee as she could out -step the other two and won in one, two, three, order. Afterward her driver, Willis Laird, brought her out and accompanied by a runner sent her to beat the track record of 2:161 held by Black Raven since 1897.

She went the first quarter rather slow and got to the half in 1:084 and finished the mile in 2:103. illis Laird, the gentlemanly driver of Circle and Bertha Lee, was greatly impress ed with our race course. lie says it is one of the fastest half-mile tracks in the United States. Mr. Laird is a competeut judge, having driven horses on most of the best tracks from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast Wiuie here Air.

Laird made many warm friends who will be glad id have him return at any time. WILSON THEATREC0. CLOSED A SUCCESSFUL EN' GAGEMENT HERE SATURDAY NIGHT. Universally Acknowledged to be the Best Repertoire Company Ever Engaged Here-A Welcome Awaits Them Should They Ever Return Here. The Wilson Theatre Company, which played here last week, gave universal satisfaction and proved to be one of the best repertoire companies ever engaged here.

Their plays were all new to Richwood thea tre goers and every member of the company is an artist. "The Two Orphans," the bill for Tuesday night, and "The Black Flag," Thursday night, were their most popular pieces and the former was beyond a doubt the best 'performance given in the Opera House. Furthermore, every play in their repertoire was interpreted with the careful attention to details which makes theatre-going a pleasure. The Wilson Company was greeted by un usually large houses every night, which proved its popularity. The usual prices of admission, 15, 25 and 35 cents, were raised to 25, 35 and 50 cents, but this made no dif- erence in the attendance and on Thursday and Friday nights not only every seat in the Opera House was sold but Manager Wilson was compelled to use a largnumber of hairs to accommodate the Crowds.

During his stay in Richwood, Mr. Wilson learned of the unfortunate circumstances of the family of John Harriett, who has been suffering from typhoid fever for several weeks past, and who is now in a most critic- 1 condition. The kind hearted gentleman made Chem a donation of money and a lot of provisions which they will not soon forget and which will also be remembered for a long time by the people of Richwood. The members of the company made many friends while here and should they ever re- urn they will be given a royal welcome. We wish them a successful week in Marion, where they are at present playing.

The bedroom suite given away Saturday night as advertised, was drawn by Mr. E. iS. Curry, the Erie telegraph operator. i THE UNION CENTRAL Promptly Pays its Policy on the Life of the Late Geo.

H. Hamilton A Curious Coincidence. In 1898, Mr. E. C.

Smith of Marion, gen- ral agent for the Union Central Life Insur ance Co. of Cincinnati, came down to Rich-wood for the purpose of writing a policy on the life of Geo. 11. Hamilton since deceased. When' the policy was written at the Hamilton residence just north of town there were present Geo.

Rv Hamilton, Geo. Hamilton, H. Worline, (one of Mr. mith's agents) and Mr. Smith himself, and all four gentlemen had apparently at that ate, a good show to live for many years.

It is a curious coincidence, in connection with the history of this policy that of the four men above named who were present when it was written, three have died witlhv the last six months, Mr. Smith being the! only one of the four left alive today. This coincidence is a very convincing object les- son on the uncertainty of life and the cer tainty of death and one which should re? ceive careful consideration from those hay-' ng loved ones dependent upon them for I ubsistence. 1 Below we reproduce a' letter, from Mrs. Mabel T.

Hamilton, the widow of Geo. II. Hamilton and beneficiary of his policy, in which she speaks in highly complimentary terms of the Union Central and the benefits of life insurance Mrs. Hamilton's Letter. Sept.

20th, 1900. Mr. E. C. Smith, Marion, O.

I furnished the proper proofs of loss to your Company about two weeks after that date, and now receive full remittance within two weeks rom date of proofs.

IN THE HISTORY OF THE RICH WOOD 1RI-C0UNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION. Ten Thousand People in Richwood in At tendance on Thursday and Almost That Many on Friday Good Races And a Large List of Entries in All The Departments. The ninth annual fair of the Hichwood Tri'Coun'y Fair Association was held on the beautiful grounds just southwest of Rich wood last week, and as predicted by the Ga zkttk it was the most successful fai ever held in the history of the association The attendance on Wednesday was much larger than the same day of any former year and the races were exciting, with a large field of horses to contest for the purses On Thursday the crowd was estimated by competent judges to number fully ten thous and people, while; on Friday it was almost as large as the day previous, concluding the ninth annual exhibit as the best in the his tory of the association. The entries in the horse, cattle, sheep hog, poultry and fine art departments ex ceeded anything ever before in Hichwood while the farm products would do credit to the best county tair In the state of Ohio. The total receipts for the three days ex ceed those of last year, which was the larg est in the history of the association.

The expenses this year were considerably more than they were last ou account of the ad vanced price of Jabor which the association was compelled to employ, however, enough money was made to pay otf all the indebted jiess and still have a nest egg for next year RESULT OF THE DIFFERENT RACES.

The 2:20 pace was a ding-dong race from start to finish but was finished hi three heats. Secretary Huffman had his hands full but proved to be equal to the occasion and gave universal satisfaction. Every officer of the association deserves to be complimented for the interest manifested in entertaining the big crowds. The association offered $50 extra in each of the free-for-alls to the horse breaking the track record, but did not have it to pay in either race. Willis Laird made a great drive to beat the track record and get the extra $50 with Circle, and did manage to equal it but 2:111 is a high mark to shoot at.

lint three horses came out for the 2:35 pace and one of them was distanced in the first heat. If it had not been for the runners Thursday's races would have been rather tame. Jockey Geo. Jones, who rode Darius, in coming through on the inside of the last heat Friday, struck the fence and received a small but very painful wound on his knee. This was the only accident to mar the racing.

Tuck Kent and his horse Rouble, were the whole thing in the runs, although he lost the first heat Thursday he won the next in faster time and Friday he never was headed winning both' heats in impressive style and fast time. Of the ten entries in the free-pace, but three appeared but they were the pick of the lot, although Circle won in straight heats she could not rest any, as shown by the time. Three heats in 2:114, 2:111 and 2:12 is a corking good half mile track race. Al. B.

Seaton, of Mansfield, the owner of Bertha ie and Circle, was here to see his horses' go on Thursday and Friday and while here made the Gazette a social call. He is one of Mansfield's wealthiest citizens and a perfect gentleman both at home and abroad. In the free-for-all pace on Friday Circle made the first heat in 2:114, second .2:111, and the third in 2:12, which is the three fastest heats made over a half mile track in the United States this season. This is no bad send-off for a town the size of Rich-wood. There was a large entry list this year in the speed ring and the horses were upon the ground, but from different causes so many were withdrawn that the fields were cut down to three and four starters with the exception of the 2:20 pace where twelve horses came to the wire, Secretary II.

Steiner, of the American Trotting Association, sent in a lot of claims against horses that were entered and this was the reason that some of them did not start, gome owners claiming they did not owe the amount.

The Ohio State Journal has just announc ed the publication of a new historical novel dealing with early Ohio and Indiana scenes and incidents, and written by that rising Ohio author, Dr. J. 13. Naylor, of Malta, O. It will be issued as a serial by The State Journal in its Sunday and weekly editions.

The title, "The Sign of the Prophet," is striking and the story, which deals with such well-known hiytorical characters as General William Henry Harrison, Tecum- seh and his brother, the Prophet, is filled with thrilling incidents and brilliant with word pictures of events that were momen tous in the making of the West. The battle of Tippecanoe is vividly described ana tne adventures of the hero will be followed with absorbing interest by all who read the first installment. -The story of the trials and hardships of the early settlers was never told in more fascinating form than by Dr. Naylort His two novels, "In the Days of St. Clair," and "Under Mad Anthony's Banner," both of which first saw the light in the Stajte Journal, deserve to be ranked in Ohio "The Sign of the Prophet" is the strongest, most graphic and best work Dr.

Naylor has done, and all who have read his other books will be eager for his latest story. The Ohio State Journal deserves great credit for its enterprise in thus encouraging Ohio writers to work up in splendid literary form the great mass of excellent material whichhe history, of the state affords, and we bespeak for it the hearty patronage of the public. The first installment of "The Mgu of the, Prophet" will be published exclusively in the Sunday State Journal of Oct. 28, and in the weekly of Oct 30. No true Buckeye should miss this story of early- Ohio life.
