Oat harvesting is the order of the day
just now. The crop is above the average
and is mostly secured. Haying is mostly
done, although some of the larger farmers
are not yet through. The crop has not
been better for years. One would thinkby
the way our Sentinel correspondent went
for those that were not through last week,
that he, Of course, had finished, but in
passing his field We noticed that he was
dun haying, as the color of the hay he was
handling would clearly indicate, and if the
time spent in looking up items and attend
ing tc other peoples business, had been
spent upon that hay. it might have been
secured in better condition, P.

Cleveland Races.


The great free-for-all trotting race at
Cleveland, on Thursday last was the most
remarkable turf contest that has taken
place for years, if indeed it has ever been
equaled. Against field of the fastest
flyers, the famous mare Goldsmith Maid
took the two first heats in the extraordina-
~ time of 2:1411I and 2:171l, but here the
wonderful little queen of the troting turf
was forced TO abdicate her sovereignty to
the great stallion, Smuggler, who won the
third, fourth and fifth heats and the race
in the unprecedented time of 2:16k, 2:199l
and 2:l71S. In the fourth heat feat was
performed by Smuggler, that shows in a
remarkable manner his trotting qualities.
He got into what horsemen call a ''pOcket. y
Coming down the home stretch, Lucille
and the maid upon either side had the lead,
and to get himself out Of difficulty, he had
to swing to the centre, which be did and
made good his time and took the lead and
heat,
The contest was entered into by Fuller
ton, the Maid, Lucille, Smuggler and Bo-
dine-the very best horses in the country.

The work Of building this eulvert, that
has been the cause of so much debate in the
Council, is now completed, and it must be
said, in justice to all, that it is a first-class
job, permanently and economically built.
All the COuncilmen admitted, that as it is
now constructed of stone it would be pref
erable to wood, but the estimate for stone
was so low that it seemed to many impOs-
sible to construct it for the estimated price.
But, notwithstanding these doubts, the cost
will probably run considerably below the
estimste-$435.

could never be coupled with them. But
within IN last two years eOunterfeits Of our

this is felony. We shall relentlessly pursue

Will aid us in our efforts to protect their

the track was used more or less freely, for
pastime, more than any thing else. Origin

management developed speed as a trotter.
He was taken to New York for sale. Col.

thrown into sermon, was given last
Sunday morning, by the pastor, brought
together large house. Beside the union
agreed on with the Congregational Church,
the pastor of the Methodist Church being
indisposed-thst church was closed, and
many of the members attended these ami
versary exercises. This historical sketch
ran through a cycle of fifty-fve years since
its organization, ten years of which the
present pastor has been in charge. These
reminicinces from 1921, possessed much
interest, as was apparent from the close
attention paid by the audience through the
length of thier recital Additional interest
was given to the occasion by the profuse
and tasteful floral and evergreen decora-
tions. The very appropriate text-"Hith-
erto hath the Lord helped us, stretched
across over the desk, and "Jehovah Jirah y
fronted the organ. The evening was occu-
pied by historical compilation of the
Sabbath School from its first gathering, by

subject of Sabbath School work, by Mr..
Horace Shaylor, of Portland. The attend
ance was nearly as large in the evening as
