and horse on the brain generally was
never more prevalent in Upton than on
last Saturday, the day of the races at
1dlewild. Nightmare must have haunt

must have heen a poor day for business
' at Clarence. Our usually successful
/ auctioneer, VIM. Knott, made an effort
to obtain buyers for lot of property that
was offered there at vendue, and came
home sadly out of humor, saying "he
was seventy-five cents out of pocket,

ested, we have no doubt but that the
Supervisors will allow the county treas
ury to share the burden with that of the
town of Upton, which is never very
plethoric affair. The Improvements
at the public school house have been
extended to the exterior of the building,
and tasteful fence about the grounds,
new walks aud the liberal use of the
paint brush have wrought almost mar
vellous changes for the better. But the
new seats are yet delinquent, and in
consequence, the day for commencing
school is still unknown. The Idlewild
Driving Park Association held a series
of races on the track Of the County

being disappointed, can only say that
they were closely contested, and were
witnessed by large number of persons,
to the benefit of the Idlewild treasury.
