Maine Matters.



State Agricultural Society. We quote as fol-
lows: THE class for green horses has been left
out. This has for several Years past been a
popular well filled race, and has given good
satisfaction. They have made wide depart
ure from the well established purses of former
years and have made 2.35 class 2.36 class !;
a 2.3l class, and a Free for all" Now here are
four races with but sir seconds difference in
them, Just think of this, good hOrse-men and
good farmers Of Maine, when there are one
hundred horses outside of the 40 class. to one
inside this class in Maine. What makes good
lively race is a good field of entries-as every
horse has its friends, and all Will turn out to
support him; how will it be with these four
races with but six seconds difference between
them: Last year there was field of thirteen
horses in the green race and twenty in the
300 for purse of only $50: while the entire
field Of entries numbered one hundred and
fifteen Let us if anything like this field of
troters starts at Lewiston in September next.
But the most inludlciOus thing these Trustees
have done with the trOtting premiums this year
i to make a Free for All purse of one
thousand dollars. and open TO the world; and
also open to the world two running races of
5000 and $500 respectively. What encourage
mcnt does this offer to Maine breeders: Last
wear the Free for all" race was confined TO
Maine horScS, and filled with nine entries, for a
purse Of only 500. Who III Maine will enter
the 'Free for all race il purse of $1,000
when il is morally certain that some old
''dutfer'' will come down from Boston and grab
the money: What would our honest Maine
farmers and stock breeders say if the Trustees
should allow bulls, and sheep, and swine from
other States TO come in here and carry off their
premiums? Would there not be firm and Wig
urou> protest 90 up from every breed-farm in
Maine against such a proceeding. And can
any one tell why these animals should not be
allowed 10 DO it, if old rips Of horses are allow
ed TO come in here from other States to trot
ami run III competition with our own? What
tho Trustees have done this year by these
premiums, i to give away one thousand dollars
viii not this money be wanted for something
