The exhibition of family horses and matched
pairs excited considerable interest, and during its
progress was eagerly watched by a large crowd of
spectators. The matched pairs went around the
track in lively STYLE and several competitive bursts
of speed were INDUCED in by the owners. The
exhibitors were jerome Marble, Chas. B. Pratt, r.
c. Taylor, o. L. Hatch T. Harrington of South
bridge, and j. p. Utley of New Braintree Among
the family horses were some that, judging by the
speed they exhibited, would hardly be considered
exactly fit animals for sober head of family
to drive his wife and children to church behind,
but they looked neat and stylish enough to satisfy
the most fastidious committee of judgea. There
were fifteen entries in this class. Prominent among
them were horses owned and driven by A. D. War
rem, Calvin Farnsworth, Col. j. A. Titus S. D.
Houghton, Il. G Savage, and j. D. Whitney. The
stations made fine appearance, and trOtted up
and down the track in lively style. The list of en-
tries includes some OF the finest stations in the

Wis Black Hawk, and John Coonans Prince Allen.

crafty the the many members of the society, by
whom MIR. Russell had been invited to exhibit the
stallion.
The show in the hall was the same as on Thurs
day. with the addition OF a few articles for exhibi-

clever advertising dodge consisting of coop Of
fowls-a cock and three hens-entered by the
City DYE Works. The birds were originally pure
white, but appeared in gorgeous plumage, the cock
In Magenta and the hens yellow, green and blue.
