The fourth day of.the annual meeting Of TN
Society Of Agriculture and Horticulture OF West
chester county passed away as pleasantly yester-
day as did any Of the preceding. The fair grounds
were more densey filed with Westchester's sons
and daughters, 1t being estimated that no less
than 900 were in the enclosure during the AFTER
noon, and more happy and delighted multitude
we're never seen.
Early in the morning people began to assemble,
ana at ten O'Clock the unfinished trot of the day be-
lore was called on. When the postponement took
place ON Thursday evening on account Of darkness
Mr.. Belinger's chestnut geldng Break o. Day had
scored two heats, and George Moore's bay gelding
one heat; but yesterday morning Lock Out won
two heats and the race. Below will be found .
complete summary OF the event.

trotttng and one running race, the first being for

the driver Of Robert Dickson was Q colored man.
to whom John Murphy, who was behind Central
Boy, made some objections to 'ntggers driving
trotttng races" Murphy appealed to the judges
not guide Central Boy to victory. Murphy de-
cared that the trottng drivers OF this part OF the
drive horse with them and that he would never
drive where such an outrage was tolerated. The
Judges took the matter into consideration, and
then informed Mr.. Murphy that he could retire, as
could all the others. II they thought them
selves aggrieved BY the presence OF the man
