The running race at the fair last Tuesday

the evident fact that one Of the horses was
pulled and prevented from winning the race.
The hors.s entered were Hester's sorrel

ing, Wildfenow. 1t was n novelty race. 80
being given for the half mile, 80 Tor the
mile, and $50 for the mile and . hale-single
dash. Total purse, 600. The object OF this
kind Of . purse is to compel the horses to
run for every station II they want the money,
1t does not do 1t, % was demonstrated In this
instance, WIldfellow being allowed 10 win
the first and second money, and hon screw
ed back by his rider till his neck nearly
touched his withers In order to prevent him
from winning the third money. Evidently
it was . put up job. W,ldfellow's- owner
acknowledged that bis horse was held. he
said that he told his rider not to u the
mile aud u half; that it was too much OF
run. and claimed that he had . right to rur
for any station in the race that he chose
The Judges were Messrs. Thos. b. Price
Baxter Landlord and ". H. Fl. Whitney
They severely reprimanded the rider o
Wldfellow for his foul riding, and the!
were right SO far. They RETAINED iron
punishing the horses by having the RAGS rul
Iover. In this they were wrong. They SHOULD
have punished the owners As WE'LL One o

should have kept his horse out of 1t. He hs
10 that privilege. II he wanted to divide th
money no one would have objected to b
