At the conclusion of the second neat in this race
outside parties complained that pollen, the driver
OF Pet was holding her back and did not want to
win the race. The judges ordered another driver
for Pet, at which Dollen, her owner, took Otiense
and sent her off the grounds. This action
sidered by the judges sufficient to rule the horse
off the track. Dollen called up and the case
stated the judges finally telling him that they
would give MIN time to get his horse. Before he
returned the last heat had been rotted and the deci
sion is that Pet is ruled off from every track that
governed by the rules OF the National trOtng asso-
citation, as ruling from one track rules from all.
The races were concluded at sunset and trOtted in
a manner that caused no delay, the different heats
being trotted in and in No accident Of any kind
occurred during the afternoon, and the committee
of arrangements are to be congratulated upon the
prOmptness with which every feature was carried
out and upon the successful closing of an exhibit
ton that opened under such unfaYorable crcum-
stances,
Members Of Ike society are now more than ever
convinced that the personal eSegOns of the enter
prisng president, Mr. Charles d, Pratt, have much
to do with the success of the fair. There is much
more work in managing show of this kind than
those who look on know of, but Mr.. Pratt has again
proved himself emnently capable of going through
the task without tangling matters or firing the
spectators.
