Last Day ON the Cattle Ground.

coneourse Of people assembled, the amphi-
theater being nearly half filed with ladies
alone
The first object of interest we saw after our
arrival was the paradiug of mares around the
ring for the sweepstake purse Of 500 for the
best mare and $50 for the second. There
were about forty mares on the ground. The
judgment of the judges will be given in
another place Directly after this exhibition,
DR.. Crandall, 10y urgent request, drove his
splendid span of fhorses around the ring and
once around the track, amid the paudits Of
the crowd. After this a fine string Of Jacks
were exhibited They displayed themselves
to fine advantage.
Next came race of trotting roadsters for
special premium. Harris Coyey entered a
span consisting of Dan Wilet and dSnowstorm.
Mr. Skaggs entered a span consisting ofJuliu
Aldrich and Dick Darling They started in
fine style. Haskell driving Covey's team, and
Skoggs his own Haskell soon took the lead,
and kept it, winning in S:5, distance twice
around the track or one mile
Then followed an immensely funny mule
race, black and a white. The rider of the
white lost his hat on the start, and pretty
soon his mule broke with him for the fodder
stacks, making good time but in the wrong
direction The rider of the black laid whip
and kept on never looking behind, and 0p-
parently thinking that his competitor was at
his heels, wining the heat in II minutes.
Another frantic race followed between two
scrub horses, the spectators fairly roar
ing with laughter at the sight.
The race between imported stations was
called for. Only one entry was made, that
of Knox d Williams horse, Independence
sired 10y Boston, dam out of Juliet 10y import,
ed Hedgeford. The Judges informed the
rider that he must make the time in two min
utcs or lose the premium. lie ran beautiful,

second round to make the time, owing to hi,
being held back on the first round little toe

drew him out. and Dan Willet took the cup
Pacing teams were then tried. Mr.. Baxte
entered a span of sorres, ard Mr.. Campbell
entered a bay and a sorrel. Baxter's team
