In the afternoon there were at least two
thousand people on the ground. Several
large teams arrived from Montpelier which
gave the idea that the Legislature must
have adiourned-it might as well if it had
not. The crowd, whether legislators or
otherwise, were treated to three races and
a free fight before the afternoon was over
The first race called was the 'open 10
ALL" In this there was six entered but
only three started, Highland Grey, Spotted
Jim and Snowflake being drawn before the
race was called. This left kitty Cook"
well known as the former property OF
DR.. Bailey of Ticonderoga-"Iou Rat
tier" from Haverhill n. H., and $40
Ripley" from Lawrence, Mass, to start.
There seemed to be disposition on the
part of the driver of "Ripley" to hold him
back and this was protested against after
the hrst heat had been won by Kitty Cook,
by those who held pools on him. Mr..
Mosher, who entered "Ripley," was dry-
ing ''Rattler in the race, and a job was
strongly suspected. The judges decided
upon Mr.. Danforth as the driver for Grip
ley" This was strongly objected to by
Moshcr and the judges displayed & great
lack of backbone in allowing themselves
to be buffed from their decision. Finally
the president of the society, VIM. Farwell,
consented to drive which resulted badly
for the hackers of Ripley, as he trotted
won by Kitty Cook, Young Rather taking
one heat.

The last race was for the $50 class in
which six were entered, but four only
started, viz. A. H. Danforth's 8. m. Lady
| Thompson, John Clark's blk. e. Black
Warrior j. A. Williams CHI. e. John
| PomerOy G. +. Predmore's &. e. Harry.
| The first heat was taken to the surprise of
all, by Pomeroy, who was behind from the
start until the home stretch when he went
ahead by a fine burst of speed. lIc also
took the next heat by some four seconds
faster time, but the next was won by Black

THURSDAY MORNING.
Pomeroy was the favorite at the pools
before the race was called and the first
money was generally conceded to be his
The first heat of the morning, however,
mixed things worse than ever Lady
Thompson having secured her needed rest
over night came on in good condition and
won the heat in the quickest time made
during the race. This turned the tide of
favoritism and the Lady was sold three to
one against Pomeroy, and her hackers
were not TO be disappointed as the next
two heats were taken by her without q
skip or break, winning the first and
fourth money and putting Rutland stock
ahead at the close of the meeting. Harry
was sent to the barn at the close of The
fifth heat under the rule, five unsuccessful
trials. The following is the
