day and has had the effect Of inducing a large at
tendance at the Narraganset Park at Cranston to
witness the fine trottng expected to take place there
during the afternoon. The rain OF Tuesday had made
the track very heavy on Wednesday, but the clear
weather since had so greatly improved 1t that 1t was
in pretty good condition this afternoon. Both trots
on the programme came OIL, and were so well con-
tested throughout as to afford general satisfaction.
large number OF horses had entered for both pre-
mums, but the majority Of them declined to put in
an appearance when the time for the race ar
rived. Out Of the eleven entries for the pre-.
MUM Of $1,000. for horses tnat never trOtted

race Jessie Wales who took the second money,
India Rubber Ben and Twang were ready to start.
About dozen horses had entered for the premium
OF 800 for all horses that had trotted better
than 1850; but Of these only Locust Dot Reeds bay
geldng and r. Andersons stallion appeared at the
post. The contest spirited one, but lay prin.
cipaly between Locust and Dot. the stallion being
Withdrawn before the word was given, and the bay
gedng being distanced for running in the first heat.
Considerable speed was exhibited in this race, the
best heat being troted in $780, which is rather fast
for horses that had been entered IN a ESQ purse.
