BANGOR, September 1.-The weather
was perfect for the third day of the East
ern Maine State Fair. The races in the
afternoon were seen by $4,000 people.
Miss Myrtle Peek gave a great exhibi-
ton of Roman hippodrome riding. She
rode standing on two horses half mile
in 40 seconds. The PAGER Bunco, Jr.,
which is to be in the $1,000 pacing and
trotting race Friday, was driven by his
owner, Mr.. Newhall, an exhibition mile
in 2.23. EARLY Bird, by Jay Bird, was
driven quarter in "a seconds, a PIG
clip. Myrtle Peek drove her PAGER. Silver
Tail, with running mate to beat 2.1O.
The mile was made in 80, LOS, 1.38, 2.10.
Friday Nelson will start again to beat
the worlds half mile trotting record of
2.13a, which he now holds.
The races today were fully as good as
on Wednesday. In the 2.45 trotting
class the winner, Conkling, is stallion by
Nelson. He has trotted a mile in 2.26
and is a great going colt. In the 2.31
class the winner, Silver Street, owned by
( A. r. Bates of Waterville, is by Nelson.
She can easily trot below her present
record. She is likely before the season
is oyer to trot in the 2.20 list. This af-
ternoon Conrad, three year old colt by
Nelson, was given an exhibition mile in
1884. 1t will be seen that the colts of
the great Maine stallion are showing up
well. In the free-for-all pacing race
Erwin NJ, the winner, is by Lothair, Jr.
He is the handsomest, stallion in. Maine
and only five years old. He is a candi-
n LOFT fn, 8 Tn ,ic r.aa
thought Patrol might have won. He is
only five years old and is by Constella-
ton. 1t was never known he had any
speed until June and he was then for the
first time hitched to a sulky. A year
ago he sold for $125, His owner now re-
fuses an offer of $4,000 for him. Friday
occurs the great free-for-an pacing and
trotting race. In it are Bayard Wilkes,
Daily News, 221a and other horses with
records below 2.30. There is much in
terest as to the outcome as in Bayard
Wilkes and Daily News Lewiston and
Bangor will be pitted against each other.
Today the stallion Also and several of
his progeny will be shown before the
grand stand. These horses are owned
by M. T. Pooler of Skowhegan and they
