closing Day-Premiums and Races.

| Yesterday was the closing day of the Scar
| boro and Cape Elizabeth fair and it was a
most successful one. The pleasant weather
and the races drew crowd of people and
there was a larger number present in the
afternoon than on any previous occasion of
the kind. The entries in every department
were more complete than on the first day. The
forenoon was devoted to the trial of strength
of horses, and the afternoon to the races
THE RACES.
There were two of these, the sweepstakes
and free to all class They were very exciting
and were the principal excitement of the after
noon. All passed off smoothly until the last
heat in the free to all class when complaint
was made to the judges that the driver OF
Little Daisy was not trying to win the race
but rather was pulling her back, and change
of drivers was demanded. The judges,
Messrs. John Bradley, j. S. Libby and G. w.
Carter, decided that there was no foundation
for complaint and the race proceeded. The
following is summary of both races;
