the evening was full choral service,
Rev. Mr.. Linsley, rector. The organ was
in the opposite end of the church and rem
dered it rather hard to sing. We leave
here this morning at 11:32 for Seymour,
singing at both morning and evening ser
vice on Sunday. We shall arrive home at
about 10 O'Clock on Monday. Al are well.

THE FALL RACES.
Excitement at Charter Oak Park This
Week-NIany Noted Horses Arriv-
1ng-The Program for the Coming
Derby Races.
The outlook for this weeks trotting
meeting at Charter Oak park is all that
could be desired by the friends of the as
ISOLATION. All but two of the classes are
filled with material which assures good
racing throughout. Special events have
been substituted for the classes that failed
to fill, and some additional transactions
will be announced later. Madame Maran-
telle with her runners will add variety to
the events each day. The indications are
that the 900 stake will afford the best
race ever seen on the track since the in
auguration of that great event. The
horses named are the cream of the trotting
host, and they are said to be in excellent
trim.
Already many have arrived at the park.
The Marantelle combination are there; so
is Pope with his string; Predmore is also
there with his PAGER Dallas. Others will
be arriving daily, and the special train
from Poughkeepsie will bring the balance
of the visitors.
The new southside stables are ready for
occupancy. They add much to the looks on
that side of the park, and when later on
the entire lot are built they will be both
ornamental and useful
Mr.. G. F. Predmore, who brings Dallas,
will be remembered as the very clever
trainer who used to give Mr.. Ponds horses
their first lessons. He had the honor of
bringing out the great horse which came
to be known the world over as the "demon
trotter''- Clingstone-and he has handled
many another good one since. At Cleve-
land recently he drove Dallas a second
heat mile in 2114, equalling the worlds
record, He has host of friends herea-
bouts who will be glad to welcome him.
The track at Charter Oak park is in the
best possible condition, as the three miles
which Predmore gave Dallas Saturday
morning, after the heavy rain of the night
before, will show. He went the first in
'19a, the second in '1Sa and the third in
'16; last quarter in 81 seconds.
Guy Chngstone, CGngstone II, Ethel and
two others have arrived and are stabbed at
the west side in charge of Willard Saun-
deYs.
F. o. Burridge was expected Saturday
| with four horses, and M. F. Dodge with
| five.
The special train from Poughkeepsie
| Saturday brought along most of the Grand
circuit performers, including Messrs. Ham
| lin and Goldsmiths string, which will be
quartered in the new stables on the south
side
Oliver 4, 216a and Charlie Hogan, Pisa,
| will not arrive until to- day.
