LEWISTON, September 9--The feature
of the forenoon was the grand parade
and cavalcade witnessedSby Governor
Burleigh and other distinguished guests
suid to be the finest ever seen on the
grounds. The parade was headed by a
platoon of police, followed by the Brigade
Band of 2S pieces, which, as always, dis
coursed most brilliant music. Then
came coaches, and behind them every
creature that won blue ribbon at the
Fair.
The afternoon attendance was large for
the closing day. There may have been
ten thousand people on the ground, and
there may not, but it was big crowd
and intensely interested in the races,
which were indeed the most exciting of
the series during the week.
The Colt Race.
In the postponed stake for foals of 1889,
started at 12.30, there were five starters
out of six entries, Easter Maid at the
pole. Beran at once took the lead with
Calcalli a close second and Johnosca
somewhere in the rear, the rest nowhere.
This relative position was held to the
third quarter, when the leaders tapped,
and on the stretch Calcalli worked to the
front and won by a length, winning in
1894. The second heat was substantially
repetition of the first, the horses finish
ing in the same order. Time, 2.351. The
third heat was procession to the first
quarter to the half, to the third, but on
the upper turn Beran made rush and
collared Calcalli. The two came down
the stretch nearly neck to neck, but Cal
CALI passed under the wire first. Time,
2.36a.

Foa1s of 1888.
For the foals of four years ago there
were three starters, Granieta at the Pole
and Milk Maid outside. The pole horse
won with ease in 2.354. The Maid held
second place to the half, but was passed
on the lower turn by Narka, who MAIN
tanned her lead to the finish. In the sec
ond heat Granieta let herself out and
went into the charmed circle with rush,
making magnificent mile in 225a. The
quarters were 364, 1.11a, 1.4S, 2.255.
Granietas performance is believed to be
the finest of the whole fair. She is the
first of Rockfeller's get to 60 into the
2.30 class and is a granddaughter of
Electioneer.
