pulled off. We mean Laura c., for had she
| been driven ont, every one there felt sure
she could have carried off first money AS
| it was, by a curious decision of the Judges,
she was given heat and no record.
| Whether this decision will be sustained or
not remains to be seen. The three-ten race
was captured in straight heats by John H.,
| with Rocket second, and Ben Hur, big
sixteen and one-half hand gelding drawn
after second heat. Here again Rocket
should have been driven in. The two-ffty
race was won in straights by Lynde's horse,
Black Dan, with Black Diamond drawn
after second heat This horse Dan, and
! Laura c., Mr.. Lynde has campagned around
| in this county for several years without
! getting record anywhere near their limit,
and it was pleasing to see at least one of
! them taken out of the fifty class In the
free-to-all trotters for purse of $500, the
record Of the track was broken, Black
| Amble trotting second heat in twO-twenty-
! nine and one-half with Rocket at his throat
! latch; and when one takes into considera-
ton the fact that this track is sixty-fve feet
! long in the mile, and the further fact that
! it was from heavy rains that day at least
! hve seconds slow, it makes the perform
ance most remarkable one. 1t was a
| grand sight to see Black Amble and Rocket,
| gig, come down the stretch very near a
two-twenty gait, and it made two-thirty-
! five horse look slow. Both of these horses
have records of two-twenty-six and one
fourth.
We were very sorry that Arthur L. Wood
bury was taken sick and unable to drive his
own horses, which in great measure ac-
counted for the positions they obtained in
the races. Ethan S. was accounted a sure
candidate for two-thirty honors this year.
