CHRsTER.

There was no meeting held on Tuesday
last at the Central hotel for the orgapiza-
ton of an agricultural society to act with
the driving park association In holding the
annual fair on the park grounds. The non
attendance being the cause, and the warm
weather for several days past had rendered
travel by team from Londonderry, Weston,
Windham, Grafton and Andover to Ches-
ter almost impossible. There will be an
other call issued In May for the organiza-
ton. Delegates were In attendance from
Springfield and Rockingham. The driving
park association will, the coming season,
expend $1,000 in further improvements
upon the track and the erection of barns
and mechanics hall. When completed,
it will be one of the finest trotting tracks
and agricultural grounds In the state. The
natural advantages of the park are most
admirable and contribute that which art
and skill could not accomplish. The man.
ayers are making arrangements with Jerry
Parker of Brandon, who wishes to reside
here and use the track for training horses.
On Wednesday last, at A. d. Fletcher's
barn, by some mistake the door to the
Hambletonian stallion Gordon Granger was
left with the bolt drawn and the outside door
being open, Gordon Granger took the
opportunity, as by instinct, and came out
like an arrow from an Indians bow, shot
forth into the street with only his blanket
upon him. Mr.. A. d. Fletcher, as he view
ed the situation, and that only for mo-
ment, as the lightning speed took his horse
from his sight distance of half mile,
turned white as the snow beneath his feet.
Death to the horse, or great damage, was
instantly felt, and considering the almost
dangerousness of the road by drifts and I'M
der-running water no other result was ex-
pected by any one. Yet, while all stood
gazing down the road where the young
horse had measured IL with strides % feet
span, they saw the horse returning with
his exit speed, and so continued to within
sixty feet of his stall, and several men be-
ing near, put on his halter without diff
Guilty. Upon examination NO damage had
occurred to the horse, but his blanket, from
surcingle back was left flying in the air in
the village of tactoryville, a mile distant.
The owner, "Dell, was near, murmuring
to himself stanza from John Gilpin's
history:
"Now let US sing live the king,
And Gordon Granger live he;
And when he next doth run race
May be there to see."
