A foo, race was ssnd~iehed between the
heats Of the first race in which there were
7 entries The runners kept well together
for the frs, quarter when in case of several
there was ascant supply Of wind and while
they were holding up TO catch their breath
the others we're pushing on for the wire,
John Hongblehan Of South Dorset came
10 ahead, John Manchester second and Al.
bert Chetbonneau third. We did not stop
to see the others come in, but presume
they are IN by this time. The time made
was very good The next was race for
Eve year olds between James Beebe's Dot
and Clifford Gilmore's Kitty, Dot won the
race In three straight heats. The were
only two starters for the three minute race,

Joe proved the winner in three straight

tors wire greatly disappointed in the fail
nre Of the horses first entered to come to
time. Highland Gray vas famed in Il race
the week before at Rutland and the Messrs.
Cuyler who own him did not think it pru-
dent TO start him though they were as
much disappointed as anybody. Dan, the
winner OF the free.for.all last year had en-
gagged quarters with Mr.. Davis and was er-
pected up to the last moment but did not
appear. We have not learned the reason
Of tho failure IN his case or that Of the
other horses. As soon AS there were any
doubts about there being horses enough
present to make a good race the Directors
made especial efforts to get Duroc and
Lady Duroc. two very fast horses from
Greenwich, n. y, and III this they were

trotting ever seen on the track though
there was not the spirited contest that
the expected to have, They also provided
a special purse for u race between Brown
Jim and Molly W. two other fast horses
from New York State which were evenly
matched aud made good race, Brown
Jim being the winner taking the first, sec
ond aud fourth heats and Molly w. the
third. Best time 245. In the iree-for-ali
there were only two starters, Duroc and
Lady Duroc, both splendid trotters, Du.
roe won the race in three straight heats,
best time $50 IL For any one who loves
to see good iroiting for the sake OF trotting
the race was all that could be asked for.
The managers Of the fair suffered greater
disappointment than any one else that
some of the horses expected did not appear,
and did the very best they could to supply
the omission, We have no doubt that next
year whoever may be chosen as directors
" i'll make still greater efforts not only to
make the trotling first class, but also to
make tie fair u success in every respect
