Louisville, Nov. 19.-At the recent
trotting meeting at Lexington, KY, the
assembled turfmen had their attention
attracted from the race between Darby,
Driver. Charley Ford and others by the
remarkable actions of the mare Orange
Girl, who was running loose in a pad
dock which was separated from the
homestretch by low fence. Every
time the horses in the race went up to
the stretch to score the mare would
trot up the paddock leisurely, turn with
them, keeping her eye on them, and
when they started down she would come
at full speed, until her ambition was
checked by the limit of the paddock.
The performance was repeated so often
that it was apparent Orange Girl
thought she was in the race. 1t is
more astonishing because She is not an
old trotter, being but eight years Of age

In the forenoon and afternoon session,
Hon. Andrew Lacy, of Wiscosset,
called at the council chamber in the
forenoon to see the returns from Lin
coin county. He stated he had been
promised by the governor that he might
see them. The governor stated that
the conversation related to the returns
OF the election of county officers and not
to those Of senators and representatives.
Lacy then stated that his desire was to
see the returns of county commissioner
and senator, hut the council declined
to let him see the returns in either case.
Hon. E. c. harrington, of Fryeburg,
member Of Gov. Conner's council for
two years, stated to the advisory COM
mittee that the uniform custom for the
two terms in which he was in office,
was to advise parties in the interest of
defective returns in all cases where
their rejection could possibly change
the result of the elections, and that the
returns were in all cases freely exhib-
tied; he cited the Burleigh-M Madigan
case, in which the Hon. Mr.. Madigan
and Peter Charles Keegan, of Aristook,
were permitted to spend a long time in
examining returns from every town and
plantation in the county.
No communication having been re-
ceived from the council in reference to
the letters addressed to them by the
council, or by the senators-elect, Messrs.
Baker and Baker, counsel addressed
them letter protesting vigorously
against the unconstitutional methods
employed by the governor and council,
which has already deprived the con-
testants of three days in their examina-
tion of returns. The letter reached
the state house at 4:30 p. m.
