other years. The hotels are already
well filed, and the fakirs are here in
full force. A few excursion trains ar
rived here to-day, but tomorrow the
managers expect a large crowd.

slow track, produced by the rain. In
the Washington county class trot the
starters were Resale, Dexter and Kate
Clarke. Dexter won the second and
third beats; time, 2:59, 2:55. Resale
won the first heat in 2:5s, Kate Clarke
