SPORT AT THE DRIVING PARK.-The races at
the driving park Saturday afternoon were but
poorly patronized, but proved as interesting as
most of those previously given during the sea-
son. The first race was match for $50 side
between Michael Quinn's thoroughbred running
horse and William McDonald's mare, half mile
heats, best three in five. The race was very
close, two of the heats being won by less than
length. Quinn's horse won the first second and
fourth heats, and the race. Time :O4, 1 :O5,
:O7, 1 :Og.
The second race was a trotting match for $50
a side between L. D. Kings Holden mare Fan
ME and G. IL. Kern's Lady Kerns. The race
made considerable sport, but the horses, driven
to heavy road wagons, did not astonish the
spectators by remarkable bursts of speed.
Kings mare won the first two heats easily, was
beaten in the third, and won the fourth by only
a length Time, :3S, 80, 8 "a, 3:32.
The last race for running horses, halfmile
heats, for purse of $50, was contested by four
entries. The heats were all watched with eager
interest and created considerable excitement.
The following horses were entered: Michael
Quinn's thoroughbred running horse, Patrick
bowers Little Sammy, Thos. Mulcahy' Leices-
ter horse, and Tim McDonald's mare. Quinn's
horse won the first heat, but was Withdrawn in
the third heat, probably to save his wind for the
first race, which was sandwiched in between the
heats. The second and third heats were won by
the Leicester horse Time, O3, :O6, los
Between the race foot race was improvsed
between Frank Alexe and Samuel Drago. The
former kept behind most of the way, but toward
the close of the hafmile passed his competitor
and won easily. Patrick Dover rode his Little
Sammy around the track against time after the
conclusion Of the races, but the little fellow was
evidently tired, and only made the half-mile in
112.

SIGNS OF SATURDAY.-A large crowd OF
spectators was attracted on Main street, not far
from City hall, Saturday afternoon, by an at
tempt of a druggist to prevent dentist from
placing a sign under his window and over a
window in the store of the druggist The facts
in the case seemed to be as follows: The dentist
had procured tin sign which he instructed a
workman to place in position against circular
section of the blank wall Of the building; to
this the druggist objected, and undertook TO
prevent it by forcible means, shaking the ladder
upon which the DENTIST who, when the trouble
began, assembled the ladder TO place the sign in
position himself, was standing; the dentist took
the sign with him into his office, and by opening
his window succeeded in placing it in the de-
sired position; the druggist here appeared with
a tin sign and placed it over his window in such
a manner that it covered the lower portion Of
the dentists sign, but subsequently removed it.
During the transaction the police were appealed
to, but as the affair did not come under their
jurisdiction they did not interfere. The affair
furnished amusement to the spectators, which
was the only apparent result
IHEATRE.-Ine entertainment gwen ny lut
Lingard troupe in Music hall, Saturday evening,
attracted large audience, but the manner in
which the programme was hurried through
failed to sustain the reputation which this
troupe has always enjoyed, the members evil
IDENTIFY being in hurry to catch one Of the late
trains, as that part of the programme which
was given was completed before ten O'Clock.
Another trick which the managers undertook to
play was charging the same price for the dress
circle aud gallery, and passing the well dressed
into the former, while the Others were sent into
the latter. One gentleman, however, refused to
be treated in this manner and returned to the
box office, where he was. charged fifty cents
additional and given an orchestra seat. Wish
ing to know what he paid double price for, he
appealed to the police, who were told by the
doorkeeper that he was able to manage the
show, and that if they did not keep quiet they
would be removed from the hall. Finding,
however, that the officers were not so easily
frightened they admitted the little game of dis
tinguishinga man by his dress Such method
of doing business is not calculated to gain the
confidence Of theater-goers, or TO add to the rep
utaton Of the visiting troupe, and if the same
company visit this city again, they will proba-
bly, realize the benefit of their operations Sat
urday evening.

cupation, they will send some mares to him next
