Yesterdays Races and the Novel
scempetltIon Of the Ladies.
The Bangor Track Likely to Become
Famous for Fast Time.

Fair skies make fine fairs and the Cum
berland County Association have good rea-
son to congratulate themselves this year.
Three beautiful September days attended
their 51st annual exhibition,
The attendance yesterday was not suite
equal to Wednesday. yet still it was very
large. A conservative estimate would put it
between five and six thousand people. ss
The grand cavalcade of prize animals took
place at IL o'clock. TWAS pretty sight and
half encircled the track. The American
Band of Saccarappa led off. This band, by
the way, has been in attendance for the past
two days, and gave much satisfaction. They
were trained by Chandler.
The next event that attracted attention
was the ladies' expert trial for a special COM
petition prize offered for the Harvesting,
driving and embarrassing Of horse by a
lady. The. competitors were Mrs. Ella. A.
Stanorth, Scarboro. and Miss Nellie Irish of
Woodfords, Deering. The trial
took place ON the track in
front of the judges stand and each lady
drove half mile before embarrassing. OF
course the horse had something to do with
the time. Both ladies did their work neatly
and the time occupied was Mrs. Stanorth,
446A; Miss Smith, 5.595.
The Races.
The trotting contests were promptly
called. The first race was the 2.30 class
Five horses appeared upon the track, and
drew positions as follows: Lady Martin
first. Otis Shaw second, Keystone third, st.
Lawrence fourth, Fannie w. fifth.
There was great interest in this race as the
talent named represented some of the most
promising young trotters in Maine. H.
The first heat was closely fought for
Lady Martin broke and Keystone took the
lead. On the home stretch Fannie w. made
a rush and won the heat. Gaylon Otis's
young four year. old got third, and St.
the rear.
In the second heat Lady Martin was break
ing badly, and Keystone went to the front.
Fannie w. kept busy and had an exciting ef-
fort with Otis Shaw, but keystone was too
far in advance and won the heat handily, as
he might have done the previous one but for
the sudden rush of Faunie w. Shaw got
third and st. Lawrence fourth, with Lady
Martin distanced. This occurred by an acci-
dent to her harness.
In the third heat Key stone led, st. Law
renee pushing him to his best and finishing
the mile good second; Fannie w. third
and Otis Shaw respectable fourth. This
was fast heat because Keystone was push
ed, and the mile was made in 22S1, which
would have been equivalent to 224 on good
mile track.
For the fifth heat Keystone
was not crowded until after he got off
his legs and then Fannie w.
made a powerful dash on the home
stretch. But Keystone won by shot neck

This was one good horse race. Dan
Barry, who was last in the start off, speedily
went to the front. There was some hard
struggling for positions in the rear and
young Matchmaker did some good work but
was no match for Barry.
In fact Dan Barry was so much
superior to the field that the balance of the
race requires no further description. He
won in three straight heats with the best
