THE RACES

under the auspices of the Riding Park
Association, on Thursday, the 18th, were
declared by many to be the best ever wit
messed in this place, especially in the 2.50
and 2.38 classes, which required five heats
each to determine the winner The purse
for horses that never beat $50 was trot-
ted for in the forenoon. In this race there
were five contestants, and all evidently
went for the money. Chilly Patterson"
entered by John Hardness of ShcrbroOke,
p. O., took the first heat, but came home
second best in all of the remaining ones.
"Nellie Collins" by H. G.. Smith of Con-
cord, taking the I'd, Sd and 4th heats
straight, the other horses contestlng
sharply for the third and fourth money,
which was won, the third by "John B,
entered by Samuel Follansby Of Bristol,
and the fourth by " Patchen Star" enter
ed by VIM Martin of Andoyer. Five Of
the best trotting horses Gf not the fast
est, that ever started on the Lancaster
track, were started in the race between
horses that never beat 2.48, entered by as
follows: G. M. Stevens of Lancaster,
6. G. Goodenough" w. T. Dussault
of Sherbrooke, b. IN. Fanny Shepherd;
Dan Young of Glover, Vt, br. G. Dan
Rocket; Samuel Follansby Of Bristol,
g. G. "Royal Prince; II. G. Smith of
Concord, g. m. Moxie" This race also
required five heats to decide the contest,
and if ever horses trotted to win they did
on this occasion. The first heat was
taken by Royal Prince" but there was
the winner and the second and third best
it was evident that the remaining heats
would be interesting and exciting. The
second and third heats were taken by
Goodenough," and the fourth by
'Moxie". BY this time the most intense
excitement prevailed, the majority of the
spectators evidently caring less which
horse won than that fair play should be
accorded Any attempt at jockeying
was readily observed and most emphatic
ally condemned. The sharpest contest of
the race was looked for in the fifth heat,
as the mare "Moxie" was evidently in
better condition than at any time before
during the race. During the heat an ac-
cident occurred which, possibly may have
decided the contest. When coming down
stretch the first time round, one of
MoXie's tugs broke; her driver, Mr..
Smith, without apparently Stacking her
speed reached forward, standing upon the
shafts, and Selling one hand hold of the
harness with the other he caught up the
broken tug, and in that position com
pleted the heat, amid the cheers of the
audience, coming in only second best.
The following are the summaries:

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and

dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs

it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
fererunners of more serious disease, it saves un
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family SHOULD
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unpereeved attack of Pulmonary Aztec
tons, which are easily met at first, but which
become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and i
is unwise to be without it, AS safeguard tc
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use
multitudes are rescued from premature graves
and saved to the love and affection centred or

Originally the product of long, laborious, and

ditions are laid down. the non-fuIfill-
ment of which will debar the State from
receiving its share. The fund is to be
supported BY apprOpriating oue-half of
the net cash proceeds, from the sale, en-
try or location. or other disposition of
public lands This will be invested in
United States FIVE per cent. bonds, and

Of the United States. the interest to be
divided as above described. The bill
was presented year ago in substantial
~ the same form as now.
The bill introduced by Senator Nor
