SAco, September 21.-The second day
of the York County Fair witnessed some
! good trotting, although the colt race was
a little tame, being walk-over for Ger
tie B. The crowd, however, was fa1
from being large one, and numbered
about 700 persons.
Charles Drew of Great Falls, the well
known Mystic starter, acted as starting
judge today, and his associates were c.
E. Sawyer and A. A. Doliff.
In the PAP class there were five start
ers. Country Boy won the first heat in
an exciting finish. Lookout, who as well
as Country Boy was driven in pneu-
matte sulky, made good fight and came
in close to D. J. F.. which was second.
In the second heat Lookout and Couli-
try Boy took the lead. with D. j. F. and
Charles A. pushing them close behind.
Country Boy went off his feet after pass
ing the three-quarters, and lost first
place to Lookout
In the third heat Lookout took the
lead at the back stretch, but broke at
the half and was left in the rear by
Charles A. and Country Boy.
The Gamey Gray Gelding,
however, managed to finish second,
Country Boy again getting first in a
close finish, with Charles A. well up in
third position.
The fourth and last heat was between
Lookout and Country Boy, and the lat
got there by a small margin. The sum-
mary:
2.42 CLAss-PURSE $3.50.

Two Portland Horses
won first and second money in the 2.33
class. They were Dolly H., owned by j..
Scott Jordan, and Winthrop Pilot, owned
by the veteran Ramsdell of Woodfords,
who handled the reins over his favorite
himself. Although the race evidently
lay between these two, it was well
fought through out. The other starters
were Albion Towle's J. Alba, Catelle, be-
longing to Henry George of Lewiston and
driven by John Haines, and Ned Allen.
The latter made things quite interesting
at times for the two favorites, and kept
them moving. J. Alba was distanced in
the second heat Dolly III. got first mon
ey, Pilot Second, Ned Allen third, and
Catelle fourth. The summary:
2.33 cLAss-PURsE 5000.

The race for four-year olds was
A Soft Snap for Gertie B.,
who won last week at Gorham in 2.3433,
and afterwards trotted an exhibition
mile there in 2.2s. She is a pretty bay
mare, three-year old, bred and owned
by Andrew Chute of Naples, and driven
by Eddie Chute. She is small, but well
built, and a pretty and speedy trotter.
She is by Maine Prince, by Prescott,
dam full sister to Fannie W, 2.264.
The mare got away with the first heat
so easily that the others agreed to let the
race be best two in three and young Chute
agreed to send his mare for an exhibition
mile afterwards. This she made easily
in 2.34. The last heat was trotted in
2.4S, Chute holding back a little for
Lewis, which showed good speed for
most of the mile, but went off his feet at
last. The summary:
FOUR-YEAR-oLD CLASS-PURSE $10O.
