2.34 Class.

There were but three starters in the class
of 2.34 horses, out of nine entered. These
were Maud NJ, owned by II. c. James of
Waterville; Lady Ross, owned by 4. ID

the first heat was an even and pretty one.
Lady Ross soon taking the lead. closely
followed by Maud NJ, with Cleveland Girl
in the rear. But at the first quarter Lady
Ross broke, bringing Maud M. and Cieve-
land Girl together for pretty dash at the
upper turn. They passed the half with
Maud NJ. in the lead, Cleveland Girl sec
osd. and Lady Ross far in the rear. An
unluckY incident in Lady Ross career dur
ing this heat was ruled in her favor by the
Judges, otherwise she would have been dis
tancs d and a very good and interesting race
spoiled. She proved good trotter, as the
sequel showed, although she WAS given
third place in this heat; Maud NJ. first
Cleveland Girl second.
Maud NJ took the pole at the start in the
second heat, but Cleveland Girl soon took
it from her, giving her second place. For
the first half it was close between these
two, and they t-otted evenly for nearly a
quarter. Lady Ross broke badly and was
given third position at finish. Cleveland
Girl being first and Maud NJ. second Lady
Ross had the third heat nearly all to her
self. Having the advantage of the pole at
the start she kept it. Cleveland Girl ard
staud NJ. both tried to get it. and on the
upper turn, after having broken several
times, they were all together doing their
best But on the last quarter they formed
a procession and kept it in this order. ] j..
Lady Ross; p Cleveland Girl; 5, Maud

Girl broke badly ia this heat. but gained
ard passed Maud at the half mile. At the
three quarters Lady Ross passed both of
her competitors and came under the wire
so far ahead of them that all could see tn
heat was hers. On the 9TH heat Maud
broke three or four ,imes, the Lady doing
we'll, and Cleveland Girl breaking badly on
upper turn. TN the half, Lady Ross who
had broken once ard lost, passed both

On College ST., between the NJ. c. X. r.
station and the campus Saturday afternoon,
a team that was evidently exhausted, either
by a load that was too heavy or too hard
driving, came to stand still in the mud,
when the drunken specimen of humanity
who was on the load and held the reins, be
gan to beat one OF the ANIMALS in most
unmerciful manner. There were many
people at the station who were indignant
spectators of the scene, and had there been
an officer about they would insisted upon
the inhuman drivers arrest. The incom-
ing train shut off the view. however, and
when it went out the man and the team had
disappeared. We afterwards saw them on
College ST. short distance below the Il.
X. crossing, but the horse which had been
beaten was missing, and the rest of the es-
Enlistment was was waiting for something

An enthusiastic Boston sport, who has
been here several days, becoming fred
with a zeal to shoot everything in the sur
rounding country, persuaded his father to
allow him to 60 hunting on Thursday
The old gentlemen objected, on the ground
that it vas raining too hard. But the
sporting man was bound to 60, and. taking
his repeater, started forth, the old man
protecting him from the fallen drops with
an aged cotton umbrella. Together they
climbed the hills, the parachute doing ex-
cellent duty for about six hours. Suddenly
theirs was pause. the acute ear of the
sport heard the twitser of game, the trigg 7
was raised and poor, harmless little
thrush succumbed to the unerriug aim of
the Hubbite. His thirst for game sssusged,
the dear remains of the thrush were gather
ed together. and the twain under the old
cotton umbrella hied themselves home in
high glee at their success.

SEASON OF 1890.
Opening Of The AUGUSTA Driving Park,
The Managers OF Which Give Three
Good Races.

The managers Of the Ausustas Driving
Pssa deserve praise for having done SO
mach by their programme of races which
took place Saturday afternoon, to make up
for their own and the public's disappoint-
ment occasioned by the rain of Friday,
which isterfered greatly with the eelebra-
ton Of "the glorious Fourth" which had
been arranged to come off in accordance
with previous announcement. The hard
rain of Thursday prevented many from
coming to the city who had intended to take
part in the equine parade, and the rain
which continued to fall nearly all day Fri
day, of course disarranged all plans for
this part of the days events. But little
notice could be circulated that the races
would come off on Saturday afternoon, as
the weather was very uncertain up to the
middle of the forenoon, and hence the
somewhat light tendance at the Park.
Still the grand stand was fairly well filled,
and the carriage enclosure while not
crowded was very we'll occupied with pri-
vate teams. Dennis Band WAS in ate nd
ance and between heats dscoursed fine
music which was fully appreciated.
1t was matter for surprise that the track
was in such fine condition following a two
lays steady rain. BY one o'clock on Sat
urdsy, after only a few hours sun, the
track was thoroughly drained of, dry and
elastic, and in as good condition as the
most fsstidious driver could wish. This
fact more than anything else attested to the
good qualities of this Augusta track, and
explained the reason why horsemen like to
patronize it. There is no better track in
Maine, and none more popular With those
anxious to give their horses low records.

Matt was second, Almont third, Freedom
S, four h, with M. |. on the outside. The
first heat was devoid eff interest, as the
horses broke, run and trotted about as they
pleased, some of them acting badly, and
some of the drivers net acting much better
than the horses. The heat was won by
Frank ). In the second heat Frank S
took the lead and kept it, trotting solid and
square, the other horses changing positions,
breaking and otherwise diversity
ing the incidents of the heat. As the heat
was won by Frank s., it was quite evident
at the close Of the second heat that the race
would be short one. And so it proved
as the third heat decided it. Frank s. did
the same good work as in the previou,
heats, his contestants breaking from one to
four times during the heat. Some fine
points in this race were well decided by
the judges, and TO the evident satisfaction
of the spectators. The summary is given
