The second day at the Scarboro fair
fulfilled all expectations. After the
chilling wind of the day before, the
warm, sunny weather of yesterday was
gladly welcomed, and the farmers
flocked from miles around for a days
outing on the grounds, while many peo-
pie coming out from Portland and else
where helped to swell the numbers,
ssThe woods were full of people, OF
their conveyances, as that part of the
grounds where the trees are left stand
ing was thick with horses, carriages and
wagons, while the owners crowded other
parts of the grounds.
The Ladies' Contest.
The ladies' contest was the principal
attraction in the morning, and as usual
they acquitted themselves admirably,
showing considerable skill The horses
were driven twice around the track.
Miss Annie Gilman CT Scarboro was
the first to try. She harnessed her horse
in two minutes, and finished the mile
and Embarrassed in 612.
Mrs. StoclSman of Cape Elizabeth was
very skillful in Harvesting, finishing that
part in 1.25, and the whole in SOB, which
was the best time made.
Miss Kate Riley of Scarboro put the
bride on wrong and had to take it off
again, making her time for that part ]. As.
Her finishing time was $50, which was
the second best time made If it had
not been for. this slight mistake, Miss
Riley's time would have been close on to
that made by Mrs. Stockman
Miss Rillia Latham of Cape Elizabeth
was the last to make the trial. She har-
messed in 1.45, but in the first half mile
her horse kicked up and made hole in
the .dasher and then lifted both hind
feet over the whifletree. The harness
had to be cut to free him, and Miss La
than withdrew from the contest. The
