Fast Horses in Attendance.

At the horse Fair announced for the
18th and 18th insts., there were some Of
the fastest goers in the State. The crowd
on the first day was small, owing to fal
of rain in the morning; but by noon the
sun shone out and the afternoon was all
that horsemen could desire.
The first race was scrub trot The
horses entered were:
Luby Jim, R. S. MCCONNELL
Jim Fisk, J. X. BUCHANAN
Buckeye Peg, DRIoGs & DoRR
The first heat resulted in a smash-up
of Buckeye Pegs sulkey, caused by he.
ing run into by the driver of Luby jim
The judges decided no heat, although
many were of the opinion that ''Luby''
MAS entitled to it. The owner of "Luby''
refused to 90 for the other heats.
Fisk and Peg startel in the Sc cond and
third heats, both of which Fisk won easi.
ly. The race being virtually ended, tn e
owners Of the horses, with the consent OF
the judges, agreed that the race was won
by Fisk, and Peg to take second money.
Premium: 315 and $40. No time.
THE RACKING RACE.
This contest created considerable ex.
element because of the ratlling time
previously made by the two horses from
abroad. The entries were:
Sleepy George. J. F. SIMPSON.
Jenny Lind, &. h. SMITH.
Kentucky Jim, JOSEPH MYERS.
The race was the best in 5, under the
saddle. First premium $50 second SIS.
The first heat was won by George" in
good style, Jenny" coming in second
and "Jim" bad third.
The second was closely contested by
George" and Jenny" and ended with
the horses in the same position as in the
first heat,
The third heat was q spanking one,
Jenny going in to break the heats
Twice round the course they dashed and
past the stand for the last round the
rider Of the mare managed her well, but
JEFF WooDMANsEE. on George" knew
exactly his dnty he held his horse to his
work without throwing him off his feet,
and won the heat ana race by about half
a length.
The rider of the mare claimed foul
riding" but upon investigation it only
applied to the rider of Jim, who ran his
horse against the mare.

Pittsburgh Cattle Market,

There was an unusually large supply
of Cattle in Allegheny TO day-between
1,2O0 and 1900. and with only an aver
aye demand. The market was one of
the worst of the season There was a
larger proportion of good Cattle than
usual, hence for the first time in several
months the best grades declined, while
for the lower grades holders generally
seemed to be accepting just whatever
they could get, and at the close there
we're good many unsold. Prime to
extra butchers stock 6ta7c, medium to
good 5ta6c, common to fair 41a5c, Cows
