state fair was gwen up, as usual. TO racing
and as such was highly successful Four
races were troited, and IN each, 10 great
measure, there was much excitement mani
tested and deep interest felt by all in
attendance. Especially vas this the case
in the " free for all''--the last race Of the
day--thc excitement being great and gen.
eral while the peculiar circumstances at

excitement Four horses entered to COM
pete for the race who were each above the
ordinary run ot troitng horses in this
state, of superior speed and possessed oil
racing qualities which have as yet proba-

Each had large number OF friends and
hackers, and the rivalry as consequence
became bitter rs well as exciting. Pool
selling had been INDUCED in to consider

black mare Jean Ingelow. entered By f.
