Although the sky was very cloudy the
people crowded to Meriden fair yesterday |
just as they did the day before, and by 2
o'clock there were fully 5000 people pres
emit. The racing, az usual, attracted the
most attention, and the track managers
were, a. usual, very slow. They were
fully half hour in getting the horses off
in each heat, and instead of running the
heats of two races alternately, they ran off
one full race and then another. Halidan won
the postponed heat in the race..for two-year
old colts in 3:O0a; Sa1ony King was second,
and Claystone third. The following Is the
summary:

In the 1888 class Miss Albert showed a
clean pair of heels to all the others.
| Mary Karr, Hubinger's mare, showed
good speed, but Miss Albert was too fast
for her. In the first heat it looked as
though Miss Albert was going to distance
the field. This was impossible, the field
was fast. The following is the summary
of the races:
