 In, rain of Tuesday drove the racers from the track and they were obliged tc postpone the trots assigned for that day, | till Wednesday, at which time fair attend ance witnessed the contests, yet if we count the myriads who hung on the piazzas of the surrounding buildings, and fences, we can truthfully say the races were wit messed by great number. The grounds are located rather unfortunately for the coffers of the organization, as there is no doubt but that class of humanity, who make it d point to get all they can and pay nothing for it, will improve such opportunities, but who. had they no chance to steal it, would pay at the gate and help make the purses which bring the days attractions. Let all fair minded people point the finger of shame at those spongers, and make thelr conduct on such occasions, and particularly at trots on these grounds, appear, even to them, so detestiby mean, that they will hereafter act the part of men. The track after the recent rains was in a very fair condition, and for the first race of the day, D. Strong entered b. g. Joe; J. T. Rockwell, b. 2. Tanner; H. Rorabsck, 8. g. -.
