Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1863-09-19
Second pay of the Cattle show.


yesterday was largely increased over that OF
the previous day, showing how much stronger
attraction the horse is. The cayalcade in the
morning consisted of many double and single
teams, and "solitary horsemen." 1t was
headed by marshal Pratt, and extended half
way round the course.
Among the noticeable horses were the spans
of Mr. Osgood, Mr.. Rice, and Mr.. Bemis, of
this city, and Mr.. j. D. Wheeler of Grafton
There were several Patchen colts, sent in by
Mr.. Abbott of Holden, aud others by Mr..
Godfrey Of Milford, and by A. Putnam Of
Holden. G. w. Bascom Of Holden brought
out fine Morgan mare and yearling Patch
en-. Mr.. j. d. Wheeler of Grafton had a
Nonpareil colt of two years and aquarter, and
Patchen of one year and two months. AL
fred Goulding of Worcester exhibited fine
English three year old, raised in Kentucky.
The old Morgan stock was present in four
fine colts belonging to VIM. e. Clark, Esq,
of this city, and also in beautiful two year
old colt belonging to Erastus Wheeler, who
had also Il Morgan mare. Patrick Doyle of
Holden had gray colt of two years and four
months, Of the Morgan mixed breed G. w.
Hastings of Millbury had a Bay State two
year colt. Besides these high bloods, there
were a great number Of mares with young
colts
The trial of brood mares took place at
o'clock, and that of filly and gelding colts at
a quarter of ten.
AT Il quarter past ten the trial of family
teams, beginning with matched horses, took
place. There were nine pairs of horses en-
tered, most OF them attached to open buggies.
They went round the course three times,
joining in friendly trial of speed on the
third time round. The lief contest was be-
tween Mr.. Rice's and Mr.. Charles b. Pratts
teams, which came in far advance of the rest.
and MIR. Rice ahead. Their teams then joined
in a trial of speed for the first prize. Mr..
Rice drew the inside track, and they started
for. Il mile race. Mr. Pratt's horses gained
handsomely at first, and tut their competitors
out Of the inside track almost at the outset
But Mr.. Rice regained everything before the
first half mile was run, and beat the others on
the mile by several lengths.
The remaining seven teams then competed,
and Mr.. Bemis' team came ahead.
The trial OF single teams, twenty six in
NUMBER followed. Mr. Swan came in hand
somely in advance of tho rnsi rhoy tha'
started on two mile heat. Mr.. Swan again
led at each half mile.
The trial Of stations took place at half past
IL. There were four of them, and they went
around twice, making a mile race. Mr.. How
ards animal led well on the first half mile,
but on the second half the honorS were shared
by Mr.. Morse's horse, from Farnunsville,
which came in even with him. The Howard
and Morse horses then raced, and the latter
led splendidly in a mile race.
AT the dinner table thereport of the commit"
tees was made and the following announce
ment of premiums declared. The chairman
of the committee on sheep urged an increased
premium on this important interest, and the
committee thought that the offer should be
doubled at least, another year. The commit
tee on fruit thought it was useless to continue
to offer premiums in that department, and the
opinion was prevalent that this society would
do well in future to leave this subject en-
tirely to the horticultural society.
