THE THREE MINUTE RACE.


At two o'clock the marshal cleared the
track and the horses entered for the three
in splendid condition, but the wind was
strong aud raw. There were seven entries
aud live starters, the trot being conducted
strictly in accordance with the rules. So
strictly, in fact that even the reporters

ABOUND THE GROUNDS.
The above race finished up The business
on the track, and We GLOBE man then took
walk around The grounds. Among the
fierce and insatate item snatchers around
similarly occupied in seeking whom they
might make an item out of, we noticed the
portly aud guileless Swain of the Bellows
Falls Times, the smartly and indomi,able
Barrett of our own sweet contemporary
vivacious and obliging J. T.. Adams of the
associated press, Felix of he Ludlow
Gazette, and Matthews of the Woodstock
Standard The booths and tents aud pea
nut and pop dispensaries are here in great
profusion, the space Of the park being al
most entirely occupied by them. The
Chester cornct baud furnished the music
for the day and kept the air filled with il
to the delight Of everybody. There is a
box by the door and tho angelic strains OF
a base drum and violin floating out upon
the air from the inside; circle swing
wheel filled continually by happy but
densely unsophisticated Representatives
from the back country, and scores Of pie
stands, with struggling lines of verdant
young men with one hand holding onto
their girls and the other frantically clutch
ing huge hunks of gingerbread. They are
all here-all these things-you've seen
them, of course, and so we will draw a
curtain, and weep.
THE FLORAL HALL.
This temple devoted to the showing of
the handiwork and genius of the fair sex
mostly, is Il rather small building, but
quite large enough, however for the pur-
pose. We have not the space to name
over all the objects which are well worthy
of such notice, and Can only jot down
those things which struck us as being TO.
markable. Among the more striking in
this department we notice piece of check

T. Fuller of Andover, who is over 81 years
old; buckskin Indian jacket made and
worn formerly by one Of Capt. Jacks
