OF what we are accustomed to call bleak
October being of the cold and windy
and sunny order. The attendance was
fair in point of numbers, and comprised
the best known stock-raisers in the
county. If the promise of the entries is
carried out, some interesting races will
characterize the second day of the fair.
Below will be found list of entries
for the different classes, submitted up to
four o'clock this afternoon, at which
hour all books are supposed to be closed:

The morning exercises were confined
to tue entries Of stock and the prepare
tions for trotting In the afternoon the
business was begun by calling up the
horses for the 2:45 trot. The association
was far in advance of many of It's com
peers, in that they insisted upon weights
and a distance flag, matter too often
neglected in fairs.
The track was in comparatively fail
order, considering its clayey qualities
and the fact that it has been but little
used this summer. A good send-off fol
the first heat was had after considerable
scoring, with GOlddust carrying the pole
After getting the word, Maggie shot al
once to the front, and held the lead tC
the quarter without an attempt being
made by the others, Golddust second
Fanny third, and Spruce bringing up the
rear. They held this order throughout
though Golddust pressed strongly for thu
on Mt md I; II,
to win it, but Maggie succeeded in polk
ing her nose in first by scarcely alength
Spruce captured third place through
Fannys bad break near the score.
For the second heat a good start was
had and Spruce almost instantly showed
in front, and held his position around
the quarter and past the half, with Mag
gle close up and the whole party in
heap. Going around the third turn Mag
gle took the lead, but seemed to do SC
10y running. In this order they came
into the home stretch, when Fanny
placed herself on Maggie's wheel, anC
this put Spruce, who was directly be
hind the former, into a bad pocket Ii
addition, Maggies driver pulled III
sharp when inside the distance in ordel
to let Fanny take second place. In thi
tangle they passed the wire with Gold
dust anywhere behind. At once there
arose crowds of protests and complaints
the whole being ended after some con
sultation by the judges declaring the
heat won by Fanny, with Maggie fourtl
for running or foul driving.
In the third heat the black mare Fan
ny astonished all parties by showing
what she could do, leading off with ease
and showing clean heels to the party
She won with case in PAT, never beine
headed
The fourth heat was a repetition d
the last, Fanny keeping the pole al
round, and winning first money in 2:43
Following is the
