County Horse Show Draws Wide County Interest
The county fair enjoyed a successful turnout with strong representation from Battle Creek in horse events. Notable wins included Charles Easterly's two year old harness colt, F. W. Vickey and C. T. Clapp in team events, and Robert Gould's "Fleety G" in multiple heats. The Grand Sweepstakes featured Lida driven by F. W. Dickey and Prince Middleton. Local sentiment questions why Richland faces depot and track demands from the Michigan & Ohio railway, urging protection of residents' rights.
