In the afternoon an address was de-
livered by Thomas Sanders Esq. of Ha-
yerhill, Mass. From his own experience
as a breeder he drew lessons for novices
and others and as business man he
showed the folly of sending money to
other states for investWent when 1t is
needed here. The address was an ex-
cellent one and in answer to a call for
It's publication the society will have it
printed at once, Mr.. Sanders having Civ
en- his consent to its publication.
NOTES.
Sweat boards aud pave wheels that
have been barred heretofore managed in
some way to get on the grounds in some
way this year.
Very poor rum is said to have been
very plenty but there was very little
drunkenness. Probably the best way TO
Keep the poor rum vendors at home
would be to have the States Attorney
get wrathy and make a descent upon
'ome of the holes in the floor.
Ii is but just to state that the officers
# the society do not countenauce any 1
gambling nor do they countenance the ,
elling of r &. Probably Judge Chap
nan, who owns the grounds did not
now that pave wheels and sweat
'oards were in operation. {
Following the address came the trot-
ing of the $50 class and the "Free for
H. race: both were closely contested. !
