Time 1888,
The Judges, however, after awarding Frank
Palmer the first prize, decided to allow the dis
tanced horses TO finish the race for second and
third money. Pleasure Boy won the first two
heats, time 2 :544 and :55; this was not finished
at Al O'clock The next race, the heats of which
were trotted between the heats of the first race,
was for pacing horses, three of whom were en-
tered and started; this race was also incom-
plete, No Name, entered by l.. j. McDufl, and
General Grant, entered by L. d. Marsh of Great
Falls, each having won heat time 2:5lf and
Past. One heat in the running race was also
decided, being won by the buckskin horse Major
Mahan, over three competitors, one of whom
was dstanced, time 2 :06. During the latter part
of the afternoon the wind has been blowing q
stiff breeze, and the dust has been flying in
clouds, much to the disgust of the spectators,
who are anXiously inquiringif there are any wa
teriDg carts in Lowell, and, if so, why they are
not used?
