LOCAL INTELLIGENCE
TIE WILLOWS.

The feature of the sports at the Will
lows Course yesterday was the trotting
race, mile heats, best three in five.
The entries were as follows: Jot Ira
Wis enterod Sorrel Dick, Gus. Botto en-
tered Airline, and Mr.. Converse, Eber-
hardt. Before the start Eberhardt met
with an accident by boiling which de-
stroyed his chances for the purse. The
first heat was taken by Dick in 3:224,
with Airline second. The next two
heats were won by Airline, in 1904 and
3.Ol. Eberhardt was distanced on the
fourth heat. At this stage of the pro-
ceilings matters became interesting
bet ween Dick and Airline, and the
bows piled up their coin very freely.
The mare having two heats IL was a
great favorite, and nearly everybody
on the track, save Jot Travis, perhaps,
thought she was sure to win the race.
That the friends of the mare were sad
lv mistaken is proven by the fact that
Dick captured the next two heats.
Time, 3:00I and 3:0i3. This conclud-
ed the race, aud. In fact, all racing for
this meeting. In our intercourse with
those who attended we have heard
nothing but the highest praise of
the Messrs. Hardy Brothers, the pro-
prietors of the course. They put forth
extra exertions TO please everybody,
and there can be no doubt that they
succeeded in a marked degree. There
j. some talk about town of match
races, and it is barely possible that
there will be more racing before the
owners of fast horses go home.

THE RUBY HILL ScHooL.-After a
term of five months, the Ruby Hill
school has closed for a short time.
The fund for that district, we under
stand, is not in condition to admit of a
continuance of the school at pres
ent. IL Is incumbent upon parents,
however, to arouse to a sense of their
duty and fully realize the importance
oi maintaining a good school for the
benefit of their children. There are
about fifty children on Ruby Hill en-
titled TO School privileges. The last
term, under the management Of Mr..
Hamlin, was eminently successful,
and II Is of the very first importance
that the advantages gained should not
be lost in "A %protracted vacation. MIR.
Hamlin, who IL an excellent teacher,
informs US that in all OF his expert
ence he has never met with brighter or
better children than those of Ruby
Hill. The people on the Hill owe it no
less TO themselves than to the rising
generation to- see that their public
school Is kept In full operation all tho
time If possible. IL is believed that
the school will open again in a short
time, though there Is nothing certain
about it.
