SCARBORO AND CAPE ELIzABET
FAIR.
Attractive Exhibition-Large Attendant
THIRD DAY.

| Yesterday was one of the most charming
days of the season, and the fair was largely at
tended especially in the afternoon. There was
throng of carriages and people and the IN
terest in every department was eager and de-
served. Among those present i'll the after
noon from this city were Messrs. w. w. Thorn
as, j. S. Winslow, W. L. Alden, Thomas
Shaw, w. S. Jordan, Col. A. j. Nichols and
others.
AT 9a m. the examination of horses and
colts took place. No stations were entered.
In the forenoon there was the examination OF
horses and colts-the exhibit not being large
although creditable. These towns give more
attention to cattle and vegetables than horses.
The hall was crowded all day. the display
therein being very interesting and worthy.
Truly the fair sex of Scarboro and Cape Eliz-
abeth can well challenge their city friends in
the various branches of handiwork and it en-
courages them in most commendable ambi-
ton.

SWEEPSTAKES.
Considerable interest was manifested in this
race especially as the three horses entered
were representatives of some of the best blood
ed stock in the State-Knox and LightfooJ
pedigree. The animals were the black gelding
Brandy Knox, years old, owned by Geo. W.
| Carter of Scarboro; the well-known black
| gelding Hiram, some 10 years old, owned by
E. N. Perry of Cape Elizabeth, and hand
ooiuo ody SOiuiAS, hoS0I, ~ Jeaio oiu \SlIo
Lightfoot), one of the smoothest and squarest
trotters in this vicin ity, and owned by VIM.
Jones Dyer of Cape Elizabeth.
Brandy Knox has not been well the past few
days and before the half mile was finished in
the first heat, he dropped on the track and
was withdrawn from the race. The contest
between Hiram and Roger was close and ex.
citing, Hiram winning the first heat, Roger
close by him, and the second and third heats
considerable running-while Roger through
out the entire race, all the heats, did some Of
the squarest trotting we ever witnessed with
out skip or break, which is remarkable fol
IA years old colt ON such track-we predict
for this animal brilliant future.
During the fourth heat Hiram who has been
quite lame of late injured his foot and was dis
abled and with difficulty finished the heat
In view of all the circumstances-the Judges
gave Roger the race and first money, Hiram
the second and Brandy Knox the third.
