TRorTrNe AT PREsuMpscor PARK

TRoTTING AT PREsuMPscor PARK.
Tho races at the trotting park in Deering in
the afternoon did not attract large audience,
bur the horsemen had lots OF fun. They tired
out the spectators II they did not weary their
fieet-footed steeds. 1t was series of those
"go-ss-you-please races for drivers, for which
the Presumpscot Park is famous, and as 1t did
not please the drivers to go very often, the
sport was continued TO nearly seven o'clock,
when a heavy shower cut short the nonsense.
There were three races: Purse of $50 di-
yided for three-minute class; $3.50 divided for
$50 class, and $500 divided free for all. A
field of twelve horses contested during the
afternoon, and some OF the heats were close
and spirited. The track was heavy from the
copious showers Of the morning, being esti-
mated by good judges as fully ten seconds slow.
The three-minute race was contested by 6 We
horses, as win be seen by the summary 1t
was well fought for, and ended In a com
promise, the owners of the three leading
horses preferring to divide the money rather
than to fight 1t out in the mud and water left
by the shower. The first two heats were won
by Spurwink Boy; the festive AL. G. then
skipped in with heat, and the fourth was
handsomely won by Lady Allen, and that end
ed the race as above mentioned.
In the 2 30 class but three horses responded
to the bell. It was won in three straight heats
by Barney Tanzie. Humming Bird and Blue
jay were fast enough to make it interesting,
but tho bold Barney carried too much sail for
them. The best time given out was 2.5c, but
they trotted some seconds faster.
In the tree for all the veteran, Tom Keeler,
who has been on the drf so, many years that
he must be regarded as almost cotemporaneous
with George Washington's nurse, won the race
In three straight heats. The old horse must
have been fed upon the magic oats OF eternal
The third heat was awarded to Ned Otis on
account of queer" steering by the driver of
Keeler, but as it was gettirg late Ned's owner
declined to take 1t.
