has been for years, and perhaps more APP
propriate place in this northern country
could not have been selected at which to
hold series Of races than this. Six years
ago the Ticonderoga Trotting Association
organized, and the result has been, annual
meetings on the Ice at Lake George, and
many great races in which noted horses
from all over tho country have taken part.
These races have always been conducted
with an unusual degree of Judgment and
fairness, and whenever they announce

began to cloud up, and when the ice was
reached, about 100, there was nice little
snow storm, but it didn't last long, and by
the time the nags were ready for business
the snow had ceased TO fall, and little
blue sky could be seen through the riffs in
TIE clouds, which made better feeling. The
first race was for horses that had never
beaten 2.35, for which jenkins Of Glcns
