ETHELDA BEATS JOHN GRIFFIN II. Lexington, Ky.. August 9. The attendance at the Blue Grass Fair today was 12,000 and the running races were highly enjoyed. Until the last sixteenth it looked as if the veteran John Griffin II. would win. but Ethclda overhauled him and easily beat him. Going Some was never in trouble in her race. The spectacle of an aeroplane dying about 200 feet above the horses in the second race was a novel one. J. A. McCurdy was the aviator.
