in New York. We are receiving calls to
donate Bibles for various missionary en-
terprises in the city. But contributions

Great Sport on the Lake Again-The
Favorite Trotters-Spirited Contests
SONS of Veterans-Surprise Party
ersonal-Accidents.
There was great sport on the lake yes
terday afternoon. EARLY yesterday tele-
gram was received from Meriden by J. P.
Stevenson saying that several of the speed
ers from the Silver City would be on the
lake in the afternoon, and to be sure and
have e. E. Hall with bis Robert 81. on
hand. Hall was notified and said he would
get there, and at once proceeded to get the
old gray in condition for the coming fray,
for it has been generally understood that
it was the intention of the Meriden horse
men to take away the laurels that Halls
gray has recently won on the course on the
lake, and it was calculated that W. A. Pen
fields Harry Ladd, which has shown up
finely in the circuit races last season, was
the horse that would do It, About o'clock
the horsemen began to gather, and in half
an hour there was the biggest turnout
of the season on the lake. From Meriden
came W. A. Penield with Harry Laid,
Alderman l.. ]. Gaines with his flyer Ned,
Frank Stevenson with Ned Warren, Will
liam Cashen with fine stepping chestnut
geldipg recently from the New York horse
sale, William Parker with his bay, Photog

Hodgkinson, E, G. and G. J. Morse, Harry
Guigere with two-year-old colt that
showed up we'll, and many others with
turnouts, besides large number of spec
tstors. The first race to attract the attention
of all was between PenGeld's Harry Lsdd
and Halls Robert II which was exciting
to the fuish, and was won by Robert II.
by one half length; time, 1:23. The Sec
ond heat was also exciting, and Penf-ld's
horse won by a neck. Both horses came
across the line on break. On the third
heat Gaines Ned joined and the two Meri-
den flyers headed Halls gray on the first
quarter, but on the homestretch the gray
forged to the front and won the heat by q
half length. Hall having won two out of
three of the heats, and satisfied the Meri-
den horsemen that the old gray skate was
to much for the Silver City flyers, he
started for his stable and gave the victor
an extra quart of oats. The next race be-
tween Harry Laid and Gaines Ned WAS
won by the former. Other lively contests
were INDUCED in until 4:30, when the
horses were started for home. The Meri-
den speeders will be down here again soon,
probably on Thursday afternoon.
