the principal features of the exhibi-

Matte Hunter, is here, and will prob
ably give an exhibition dash around
the track before the fair is over.

. First heat-Duker, first Fisher,
second Ulman, third; Whyte, fourth ;
LeCato, fifth. Time, 2.05. In the
, second heat the machines came out n

nr- ward to with great interest. 1t Is D.
ws the animals can trot mile inside OF

There was very little betting to d
las beyond some stiff ventures on the !
