HARNESS MARES.
There were four entries of harness mares,
but all were pinks of perfection, spirited
yet gentle and well trained, differing
more in color than in form, qualities and
endurance. Their performances In The
ring were excellent, and We could sympa-
thise with the Judges in the diflculty
they had in determining which was enfi
tied 10 the premium. After Witnessing
their graceful and swift movements
around the ring for a good while, they
finally decided to give the premium to =
superb black animal Mollie GWynn, be-
longing 70 Gen. Jonathan EAtheriy.
OLD BOYS
A special premium of q fine silk hat
was offered by 8. G. Ssaltop, of Lebanon,
to the best male rider over fifty years Of
sge. There were four entries, and veil
did these elastic old gentlemen perform
their parts. Had they all been widOwers in
Arabia ready to run the race for new
wife they could not have shown more
esgerness, nor rode with more dignity,
grace and activity. The courtliness Of :
former ege, with the mein and air OF q
nobleman was displayed in the ring, and
though the youngsters would laugh and
halo, nothing was able to disturb the
equanimity or destroy the dignity OF these
gallant old gentlemen. Thomas Edwards,
though q married man, carried of the
prizs to the conservation of the unmar-
riec, who lost the game BY watching the
bright eyes around the ring.
Messrs. Reeve Sc Gholson brought in
for exhibition q patent cradle, go con-
structed that it may be made to rock or
remain stationary at will We Judge
from the interest our friend, the bsGhe-
lOr editor OF Lebanon, took, that be Ii
likely to invest in it in q short time. He
somewhat objected to the price, butupon
the assurance that the improvements
would relieve him of good deal of work
st night, he concurred in the opinion of
the spectators and expressed q desire and
q determination 10 have one in q short
time ct any cost. We congratulate cur
friend upon his prospects OF connubial
felicity, and trust that his angelic visions
may experience glorious realization du-
ring the next twelve months. We here
return TO him our warmest thanks for the
kind attentions he gave the representative
of the UNION AND AMERICAN, and
here promise in case be shall
need it, our greatest efforts in securing
him abundant help TO ''rock the cradle.
