advise Young men not to colonize in the large
cities or go West but stay in the pure, brsc-
Ing air OF the State. Young people wouldn't
think of beginning housekeeping as father
and mother did. with few kitchen chairs, a
pine table, one solitary kerosene lamp and a
r-w white dishes, the parlor furnished with
the inevitable lounge, big rocking chair,
ana few cane-seated, stra ight-backed chairs,
the moor covered by carpet woven by their
own hands, with a few braided mats scattered
here and there, and scarcely "a spare
bed in the whole house, but ''they
want the earth on half she'll" and desire to
enter at once upon the full enjoyment of the
ripe fruits which the father and mother have
labored forty years to reap. The speaker
objected to mortgaging the faraI for the Young
man to complete his college education, after
wards to become a briefless lawyer, a dull
minister, or pateDtless doctor, although
many of the brighter lights in all the walks
of life, graduated in youth from the farm.
Mr. Owen paved handsome tribute to our
State, and her varied industries. There is
ample room at home for the activity of all
our boys and girls. Wealth in Maine is be-
ing turned up by the phowshare, and the real
workers and producers are on the increase.
The next point of the address was woman's
work in contributing to the building up of
sour goodly heritage" her share in creating
happy home, wherein love shall reign su
preme, and amiablity, affection. cheerful
ness, joy, peace and harmony are the natural
conditions Of family life. This portion of the
ad lress, as were the others, was abundantly
illustrated with scenes from real life. The
address closed with the "Song of Labor"

The races for the last day proved much
more interesting than those of Thursday, as
the horses were better matched and faster
time made than the previous races. The
first race called was for those not in 24O

Four horses appeared, and while the winner
had too much speed for the field, yet the crowd
were pleased in watching the contest, though
nothing in the heats demands full notice.

The free for all was looked forward to with
the expectation that it would prove a fighting
race. and in this no one was disappointed.
The society increased its purse for this class
to one hundred dollars and as a result a good
field of horses appeared and one that repaid
the crowd who focked to the track.
First hest-Cushnoc set the pace
for the field to the lower side
where he broke, followed soon by
Isabelle, and these two ran for rods gaining
materially, while Jersey Lily who was third
made only few slight breaks gaining moth
