Nebraska Crpss-Country Team Defeats
Chicago and Wisconsin.
Nebraska won the Western Intor
collegiate Cross-Country Champion
ship In Impressive style Saturday
morning, not only defeating Wiscon
sin and Chicago, but practically cap
turing everything in sight, making a
score of 2C to Wisconsin's 45 and Chi
cago's 49. In fact, had Nebraska's
team been pitted against the pick of
the opposing teams It would still have
won with case.
Tho run was over tho Jackson Park
cross-country course, Avjiich is five
miles In length. Thero are two low
hurdles on the course, but It is almost
entirely over tho level, either on
ground or turf.
Havens of Nebraska finished easily
first, winning by 40 yards n 2C min
utes 4 seconds: Cooper of Wisconsin
was second, with Caldwell of Chicago
a close third. -Nebraska took fourjth
and fifth eusily, Alden -and DavlB41nr
Ishlng in the order named. Morgah
won seventh for Nebraska, sprinting
away from Caldwell of Chicago in tho
hardest finish of the day. Smith came
in ninth, well in the lead of the re
mainder of the field, which straggled
along for almost a mile in tho rear.
T.he score was counted by adding tho
order of the places in Which tho men
finished, the team making the lowest
score winning tho meet. Nebraska
finished 1, 4,- 5, 7, nnd 9, making her
total score 2fi.
Nebraska, by. this performance,
wins the championship cup for tho
second time. This cup becomes tlio
permanent property of tho team which
first wins it three times. Chicago is
the only other team which has won
it, having carried off tho cliampion
ship last year, so that Nebraska has
excellent prospects of becoming its
permanent possessor. '

Tho fourth annual County Fair wjih
nold in the Armory nnd In Memorial
' Hall last Saturday evening from"! tin
' til 10:!J0. It Was by far tho nibHt sue
Icessful of tho serlesor fairs that un
I boon given, both from tho social and
financial standpoints. Over" 1,200 por
sons visited tho "grounds" Tittho
course of tho ovonlng and it Is cstl
mated that tho net proceeds will ox
coed $300.00.
The stream of visitors started
promptly at 7 o'clock, as soon as tho
gates were opened, and continued up
to tho very hist minute, when the work
of destruction had to commence In
order to clear tho hall by midnight.
For a largo part of tho time not only
all available floor space was filled vylth
sight-Beers,' but tho balcoulcrt lnMo-
morlal Hall as well.
To compare the attractions would bo
as impossible as it would bo Inadvisa
ble. All were clever In tho cxtromb
and tho originators deserve high
praise for .tho ingenuity displayed.
Perhaps the most unique from tho
point of mechanical construction wns
the automatic man. But it vied In
point of attractiveness with many
others.
Tho New Lyric had "its quota of thrll-'
lors and romance! ; Nolly was a lady
surely, but her pictures didn't llo hor
half Justlco; tho Dance of tho June-'
bugs was dainty and graceful toil de
gree, and tho Shoot tho Chutes was
productive of moro noise than all tho
roBt of the fair put together, with tho
single excoptlon of tho Nelly siren.
-TJ10 Mysterious Man was mysterious
in an unusual degree; the Review of
Reviews was decidedly moro interest
ing than tho magazine after which it
was named; and, In- fact, there, was
not ,a show that did not come up to
oxpoctations. ""
Even tho Giant Frog, with its com
rades tho Red Bat nnd the- One-Eyed
Monster, lived up to their name's, tho
first one bolng a railroad appliance
and tUe other two a brjek-bat and a
largo sack needle, respectively.
The free shows were bigger and
bettor than over, althq for tho most
purf built on tho-samo lines of previ
ous' yoars. The Baby Show was its
usual "howling" success; tho minstrel'
show displayed the effects vof long and
arduous practise; - the acrobatic
clowns did their stunts with celerity '
und precision; and tho Wedding In
High Ltfe found all the parties con
cerned decidedly "up in the air," if ono.
may Judgo from heightened color and
vibrating knees.
Tho costuming ot individual char
acters, such as Samantba and Josiah
Allen, tho clgaret girls, Sis Hopkins,
the animated barber's pole, and the
two-faced infants, t was uniformly
clever and " mirth-provoking. More
than this, the booths for tho, sajlo of
posters, canuy, wailles and for the
prompt (?) delivery of A..D. T. mes
sages were trimmed in 'the besf of
taste and with a weather eye for the
effect of tho tout ensemble.
