LII Lu6 uSy b uellV6EluS HIS aOuT6SSs wei say nothing further about this matter. All saw it and have theirsown opinion of the ungentlemanly trick.
 While walking about the grounds before the trots commenced, all manner of inter esting incidents were constantly occurring, but nothing more amusing met our eye, than the couple sparkling in carriage, little at one side. Such loving looks were just stun- ming. OA! oH!aOH! "Lovey doveY, honey comey, lassy canny pie." They are too good to dwell long on earth, and look as onAcould imagine they would feel if suspended between the heavens and the earth on a corn silk, signing, '"rhe violet's blue,
 The pink is sweet and so are you.''
 It won't do for Irregular folks" to remain long contemplating in their imagination the ssntimentalism of this couple.
 The races for the second day were com menced about 1-2 o'clock in the after noon. For the first race, open to all horses that have never trotted better than 25o previous to Aug. 1st, 1873, W. P.

 Thursday, the third day of the exhibi- tion, is always understood to be the HORSE DAY.
 The threatening clouds of the early morn- ing Thursday broke away at about g o'clock and a clear day was in store for the patrons of the turf. l: was thought by some there we're not quite as many present the last day this year as last year, which may possibly be accounted for by the fact that the trot ut Plainville came off the same day, drawing many from Winsted and thersabout, who otherwise perhaps would have been here. The trots commenced very soon after II o'clock in the forenoon, as was advertised, and were conducted on the part of the judges in a manner that should Call forth none but expressions of entire satisfaction, as there seemed not the slightest indication of partiality. To be sure, few attempts to criticise on the part of the drivers were made at various times throughout the day, but that is always ex- pected, and of course they (the drivers) would not be happy if they were debarred the privilege of scolding little, though | there be no reason for it.
 The judges were Messrs. E. W. Spur, Falls Village; David l.. Draper, Ct. Bar rington; M. B. Richardson, Lime Rock and George E. Russell of Ct. Harrington.
 The first race of the day CThird Class) was for purse of $7O; viz, $40. $2O. and $lO., open to all horsee that have never trotted better than PAY previous to August lst 1873. For this race, w. w. Cameron entered blk gel Stone Cliff;' w. P. Knox, b m 'Kittie Burns;' N. Bump, blk m Lady Norton and J. Rogerssssor gel Port Wash lngton.'
 After the first heat 'Kittie Burns came in 4lh and was drawn. Port Washington won the first money, 3-l-l-1; Stone Cliff thes2nd, 2-2-2 and Lady Norton the srd, 1898.
 Time 2.4l; 2.45; 2.46 1-2; PAS.
 We should have said in our predatory re- marks above, that each race of the day was completed before that of any other class was introduced; the dovetailing process not being adopted, on account of one or two horses that were in some of the other races.
 The 2nd race Fourth Class) was open to all horses that never beaten 2.4O; the money being $so. $40. and $2O.
 For this race w. W. Cameron entered blk gel Ned Forest;' l.. s. Sammis, sor gel Harry Gilbert Owner, blk gel Stone Cliff The first money was won by Harry Gilbert in three straight heats, Ill; Ned Forrest 2-22; Stone Cliff 3-3-3.
 Time 2.45 l-2; 2.49 I-2; 2.41.
 Just previous to the 3rd heat of the above class was allowed to be trotted, the drivers were called to the stand by the judges, and tue 2nd clause of the Regulations of the Association was read to them by MT. Ora per. This clause reads as follows.
 No horse in any of the classes shall re celve premium when ln the opinion of | ic olvo
 The occasion of this action of the judges being as stated by MT. Draper, ''It being the opinion of the judges that one of the horses (Ned Forrest) was not being driven with an effort to win. Cheers from the multitudes attested the fact of the discov- cry on their part, of little management of the drivers to handle their horses somewhat after previously arranged plan; and if in some of the other contests there were some who thought they could see the Addition, Division and Silence" plan, they have perfect. .right1to their opinion. This s'tickle me this time and I'll tickle you next" way of racing detracts much from the true spir- it of the contests, and tends to lessen pub lie interest in the same.
 In the Fifth Glass race for $lOO. $50. and $25., calling for the '3s' horses, J. J. Hornbeck entered blk gel 'Wiltwick; ; J. Rogers, sor gel Port Washington ; l.. s. Sammins, 'Harry Gilbert Just before the first heat, the horse Gilbert was drawn. The summary of thls race, which was very pretty one, is as follows. Port Wash ington, Ill; 'Wiltwick,' 2-2-2.
 Time, 2.52, 2.46, 2.46 l-2.
 Between one of the heats of the above contest, the foot racers were called to the scratch. This race produced rather more fun for the masses, than any the others. as
