Dcanada Jack" again victorious

SAAoA4 avn o6oAA NASESAASA6-
In our last we referred to the above horse
oontesting witty Dolly Warden, in trot on our
fair grounds, when Jack came off the winner.
The owner Of Dolly, not satisfied with the re-
suit, pitted her fer $50, resolved to prove she
was not to be beaten. To this end meeting
was arranged for Tuesday, when the two
again came to time on the fair ground, under
most favorable auspices. Canada Jack, the
property of Mr.. Chan Norton, is a small horse,
but q capital PAGER, with a record of 2:4O.
while Dolly Warden is a noted trotter, and
has got over a mile in 2:28; she is owned by
Mr.. L. Croft, residing at the west end Of
town. For the occasion in question Mr.. J. L.
Greene, jr., Geo. Cooper, of Fremont, and S.
Riker, of Clyde, were selected judges, while
some 100 to 200 persons assembled on the
ground. At 3 o'clock the horses got away in
style, and being fresh, Jack soon left his feet,
when the mare took the lead and came in
winner. In the second heat Jack began to
feel more at home, settled down to business,
and came in about half length ahead. Third
heat both horses got off well, but Jack again
left his feet, and the mare got two lengths
ahead. But Jack recovered, pulled up well,
and on the home stretch the two were
abreast, though only for short distance,
when Jack took the lead again, winning the
heat by half length, amid the greatest en-
thusiasm. The fourth heat being called, it
was reported that the mare had got "the
thumps," and her owner declined to let her
go. Canada Jack came to the scratch and
made splendid run Of half mile in LIE S-4,
without break, when the judges gave him

vere attack of typhoid fever, and when slowly
recovering was thrown back by taking a
slight cold, which resulted in chills. We are
pleased to learn, however, that though still

customers and friends may once more well
comely greet the return of his genial coun-
tenance behind the counter.
