tested, as each driver was anxious to show |
that his horse was the best irotter.

ably fine stallion, winning the race with
apparent ease, and showing himself capa-

In this race most unfortunate and
seemingly needless accident occurred,
whereby George Hammond's horse,
Gray Waikiki" was killed. The cir
cumstances were as follows: The horses
had scored down once for the third heat,
and failing to get the word were being
pulled up near the south end of the track,
when James Duboy, driving the b. s.
Beecher, came from the opposite direction,
flashing his horse furiously, and keeping
the inside of the track, and rs a conse.
quence running into Hammond's horse
and driving his sulky thil squarely into
the horses breast, piercing the heart and
killing it almost instantly. 1t seems very
provoking, as the man Duboy had no
right TO be speeding in that direction and
IS he is wholly irresponsible financially
| II is stated that he was the cause of sim
liar accident at St. Adams last year, and
in any event, he should be prohibited from
driving in races. The horse killed was
quite valuable, Mr.. Hammond prizing it
at $4,000 The winning horse, Daniel Lam
bert, Jr., showed great speed and the abil,
ity to " stay 10 his work

Taken throughout the races have been
the best ever had at n state fair, both as to
time made and the evident desire of each
driver to get his horse to the front if pos.
sble, and the people were very well salts.
fed with the races-far more so than is the
common rule.
Some three thousand years ago, more
or less, one Ashmenezer was the king O
Sidon. This king, as even kings must, dice
and was buried, and his corpse was de-
posted in an elegant sarcophagus of stone
on which was cut long inscription aftel
the Sidonian fashion of those days. Sdor
long ago became waste of ruins. Ash
menezer's sarcophagus was some year
since dug out of mass of rubbish in th.
course of explorations directed by tn,
