We claim to have good horses In Fair
Haven, and think we have as good track as
there is In the state. do like to see coed
horees, and never speak of our horses In
The GLOBE, but some one must come and
buy them. Rufus X. Hamilton has two
uncommonly fine colts, Lambert stock
Henry Franklin hiss two, three and four
year olds, Blackstone and Sherman J. N.
Bosworth hasa Hsmbletonian stallion, three
years old, which gives promise Of being
very fast horse; DR.. Carpenter, ID. p.
Westcott, p. Bulger, each have very fine
| colts. Upon the track, these colts make
time that would shame many fast horses of
maturer years and more experience. One
of the four year olds, on Saturday evening,
trotted the last halt of two mile heat in
1924.
The new iron bridge across the river near
the depot, is handsome, durable bridge,
