Waterile, Oct. 4, '16.
The North kcnncbec Fair and State Pomolcgi.
cal Exhibition entered this morning upon their
second day In the Pathological DEPARTING Mt there
have been many additions, chiefly flowers, and the
show is nearly complete. Owing to a want Of au-
dence room, the address Of f..Gbert has been
postponed, but we shall undoubtedly have some
meetings for discussion Tomorrow
In the kenneboc Show the day has been given
up to horses, and the display large, there be.
ing thirty orc entries under colts alone. This af-
ternoon there has been trotting for three purses
first one of $50 open to mares and geldings. This
was a mile race hest three heats in FIVE $40 being
the first money, $40 second, and 50 third. There
were the following entries Dolly Bracket en-
tered by Ed. Crosby Winslow Sans on by Abe IT
Crosby, Wateryile; Silver Eye by j. j. Pray
Waterville. Samson did not put in appearance,
and Dolly making first heat in 3.45, and second
in 3-23, carried off the first money, though 1t is
probably the case that Silver Eye was not urged
much on the last heat.
10 the Stallion race, for which S35 was put up
$40, $40, and 80, being the premiums-therc
were the following entries Honest John who
had the pole presented by S. A. Watson; Peerless
second position, by c. w. Folsom; King Philip
third, by VIM. Jepsom; Lightfoot, fourth, by Jos
Mitchell, Jr. The first heat won easily by
Honest John in 2j0, but in Cd heat he was with
drawn on account of lameness. The "a heat was
won by King Philip in 254, Peerless coming out
I'd, and Lghtfoot 81. The third and fourth heats
were also won in 2.5O by King Phillip, but the
friends of Lightfoot were very confident that if
they had had the same driver in the first two in
the last heat they would have easily won the race
This was the great race of the day, and watch
ed with close interest by very large concourse Of
people.
The Last race Of the day was for purse of SIS,

LOB, this race being half mile. Rainbow came
out second in this heat, but beat in the next max
ing 40, and leaving the Col. behind him but the
third was won by Col. Andy in l.52 who therefore
carried of the first money, while Rainbow took
the ID.
