| At half-past ten there was "A grand parade OF
horses. At eleven the show of matched driving
horses, OF which there were six pairs entered and
driven around the track and the wonder was how
any one could decide which was the best, when
all were so good, G. II. Crandall, president of

were AZ noble looking horses often sees
| o. c. Wilders were also in their usual best TRIM
and Edwin Cardell had pair of splendid iron
grays DIR. j. NJ. Van Deusen drove a pair of
| spirited, dark chestnut horses Of good size and
| speed, and l.. X. Joslyn pair Of large, black

black horses, so perfectly matched that no one
