COUNTY FAIR.
The Second Day of the Exhibition.

1 The weather yesterday was a decided i'm.
provement upon the opening day, and the at
tendance upon the county fair at Cumberland
was correspondingly increased. In the FORE
noon there was very good attendance, while
the afternoon brought out about twice as many.
A COON number were present from this city. A
hail storm was one of the features of the exhi-
bItion in the afternoon. There was quite
number of new entries of stock and hall arti-
Giles, and the several committees postponed
their labors until to-day. Some of the best
draft oxen on the grounds were shown to the
drag yesterday, while others will make their
appearance in the sweepstakes match to-day.
The principal attraction yesterday was the
THE TRoTTING.
The unfinished race of Tuesday in the 2.40
class was finished in the morning, much to the
dissatisfaction IF all. The fourth heat was
rather dull, and Brighton Girl won in Sc,
with Mollie second, Nellie third and Thurlow
Knox fourth. This gave Brighton Girl two
heats aud Nellie two, and the next one promis-
ed to be very exciting. As Thurlow Knox had
not won heat in five he did not start. When
the horses came around the first time the judg.
es rung the bell, but the drivers of Mollie and
Brighton Girl understood it was start and the
horses went around. After trotting a half
mile the judges gave them the word and these
two horses kept on aud trotted mile, making
a mile and a half in all. Nellie Sherman stop
ped after trotting half mile and the Judges
gave her third position. Brighton Girl was
given the heat and race. Time 225, and Mol
lie second position and second money. An ap-
peal was taken from the decision of the judges.
The stallion race was started soon after 2.3O
and three horses appeared and were given posi-
tions as follows: King William, Phil Sheridan
and Tom B. Patchen. The race was for purse
of $3.50; $50 to first, $40 to second and $50 to
third.
The Judges were George Hitchins, r. Gree
ley of this city, and w. G. Hall of Windham.
All the interest in the race centered in the
struggle for the second money.
First Heat-Patchen got an even start and
kept his feet well. After passing the first
quarter Phil attempted to collar him, but as
was expected, left his feet and fell back to third
position, Patchen swung into the home stretch
and his driver logged him under the wire in
2 A, while William and Phil Sheridan were
fighting for the second position. The former
broke just before the finish and Phil rushed in
ahead of him.
Second Heat-Patchen led a little on the
START and continued to do SO the whole distance.
The King this time came in second, while
Patchen won in 2.43.
Third Hedt-This heat was simply repeti-
ton of the former one, Patchen winning the
heat easily in 24l3 with Villa m second.

The line of defence in the case of Lucy Ann
Mank for the murder of Charles Kicker is to be
that the Mank woman shot Kicker in defence
of her honor, or to obtain redress which Kicker
refused by marriage, and that she was in a
state of mind rendering her unaccountabe for
the crime.

manly course" in voting against the

North district, ani Mr., Jones, from

way and we have not heard of any

conclude that the North Andover

honorable and manly courses that
they must needs thank him, but
that Republicans are expected to do
tho honorable and manly, as matter
of course, and don't need to be
