handled there Is marvellous. We
have seen some sixty odd ounces of

In Saturdays race Capt. George
A. johnson bought six pools of
$3.50 each on the Maid for $66, and
then, with his customary generos-
ity, he turned round aud gave one
of them to his trainer, another to
his rider, and SO on. Had it not
been for his off hand distribution
Of Maid of the Mist pools amongst
his friends, Capt. Johnson would
have carried about all our loose
change away with him when he
started for Pefiasqultas.
There Is nothing like having dis.
tinguished people in our midst
Que night last week, in one OF our
popular saloons, Judge and q
General got into a difficulty and a
Colonel and Major had to be
called In to separate the combat
ants and enact the blessed role OF
peacemakers. Judge, General,
Colonel and Major finally struck
the dramatic attitude involved in
that eloquent exhortation of Car
dinal Wolsey, "Still In thy right
hand carry gentle peace" Crown.
er's guest law was thus dispensed
with.
IN noticing the admirable ar
rangemonts at Agricultural Park
during race week we uninte ntion'
ally omitted mention of Distance
Judge Dye. He discharged his du'
ties very credltably. In fact, We
have never had occasion to note
more perfect order and thorough
ness of management than charGc
terized every detail of long ant
exciting race programme. From
! Officer Bill Sands, at the gat,
leading to the Judges stand, I,
the ticket takers at tho main en-
trance, everything went smoothly
and pleasantly. We failed to heal
. an angry word during the whole
week. In this connection 1t Il
proper that we should correct al
unintentional error into which WI
fell in regard to the race and Pa
, vilion band. We spoke of 1t as th,
! band of the Wsngeman Brothers
while 1t was iu reality Conterno's
/ C0rnet band, Of which the Messrs
Wangeman are members. The In
! | atrume utation was OF high order
