THE PRIZE WINNERS List of Premiums Awarded at the Montgomery County Fair. FINE DISPLAY OF CATTLE AND SHEEP Exhibit of Domestic Products and the Committee’s Awards. SUMMARY OF THE RACES Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 3.—The bracing September air this morning was an invitation not to be disregarded by the pat- rons of the agricultural fair, and to this call they responded in good style and in great numbers. The great crowd of pat- tons yesterday was supposed by the man- agers to indicate that today the attendance would fall off in a large degree, but in this they were agreeably disappointed. By 10 o'clock there was a large crowd on the «rounds, and after 12 o'clock very many vehicles came in, bearing their living freight to witness the exciting races of the afternoon. For some years there has been complaint among certain classes in regard to the character of side shows which have been #liowed space in the grounds, but this time no wail of complaint has been heard from any quarter, as the managers have been very particular in-regard to the character ef the exhibitions. The smal} stands. for the cane prizes, and other classes of amuse. ments of that kind, have been admitted, but all descriptions ‘of “skin games” have been excluded, although big money was of- fered for the privileges. County candidates for the various offices Hy taken advantage of the comparative quiet cf the last day of the fair, and have been on hand in full force, getting in their rk. ‘The list of premiums awarded this morn- ing was as follows: Display of Cattle.

There i: a white reed bird on the East- ern branch marsh, and every gunner is waiting for an opportunity to get a shot atit more cagerly than he would for a chance to bring down a canvas-back duck. Disk Jones and others of the old regime n the marsh Wednesday saw the albino reedy, but it kept without range. pOnce it few. within twenty yards of Dick, but he had just downed two ortolans, and his gun had no shells in it. The bird lit about 200 yards off on a reed, and Dick, who' was being pushed by a small boy, essayed to get. within range of it, but other reed birds lit near it and began to peck at and fight it, and it flew away. Other shooters have had similar exper- enees. The other birds do not allow the albino to rest a moment after they dis- cover it necr them. The bird is pure white, ard the mur. who gets it will be envied for the whole season. ———___ ‘iD IN THE RIVER. DROW) Police Boat Dragging for FW. Holmes, While returning to Fort Washington in a rowboat last night, about 11 o'clock, from a trip to River View, F. Ww. Holmes, an engineer, employed at Fort Washington, fell out of the boat and was drowned. ‘Ihe deceased, with George Delmade and a soldier called “Kit,” had been spending the day at River View. and were return- irg to the fort when the accident occurred. The men had been drinking somewhat, but were not under the influence of liquor. A short distance from the wharf the de- ceased, who was sitting in the stern of the boat, fell out and was drowned. The soldier told J. H. Wick. friend of Holmes, that the latter deliberately jumped out of the boat. Mr. Wick, with F. B, Taylor, another friend of the drowned man, were at the Commissioners’ office this afternoon and obtained permission from Commis- sioner Ross to allow the police boat to drag for the body. ‘The deceased ic a Washingtonian, and resided at 40 C street northwest. —s SUIT FOR INSURANCE. Widow of Dr. Adams Institutes Pro- ceedings on Life Policies. Mrs. Ella Adams, widow of Dr. Benj. B. Adams, a well-known local physician, to- day sued the Massachusetts Mutual Acci- dent Association and the National Acci- dent Society of New York. claiming $5,000 frcm cach of the defendant organizations on acceunt of policies issued by them to her husband August 21, 1896, and October 15, 1896, respectively. Through Attorneys J. J. Darlington and Warren R. Choate, Mrs. Adams states that rer husban@ died January 25, 1897, from bodily injuries, caused solely by external, violent and accidental mea: a fall on 9th street near Grant the 12th of last De- cember. Said policies were made payable to her, she says, and she complains that although she has fulfilled all the require- ments of the policies as to proof of death, nature of the injuries, &e., the said or- ganizations have reglected and refused and still do to pay her the amount of said policies or any part of them. —— ‘Transfers of Real Estate.
