at Bethel has just been made. 1t is the
sale of the Mason farm, on which is the
Riverside Trotting Park. Three years
ago, a company was organized in this
village, and leased Of Mr.. Mason the

conditions were that the company should
build the track and give him rs per cent.
OF all the gate money and what he could
make outside, and at the end of ten years
the track should revert to him or the
owner of the farm.
Saturday Mr.. Mason sold his entire
farm and track to Charles Ryerson of

Great Good Done to the Crops Yesterday
Morning.
About two o'clock yesterday morning
there was another thunder storm. For
a short time rain fell in torrents, and
after that q gOntlo shower continued
until about 1850. The telephone wires
were struck by lightning several times,
and a few instruments burned out.
Several sewer openings were choked
up, flooding the streets, ana the usual
piles OF debris were left at all the street
Intersections leading down from the
hill.
In 40 minutes or so forty.hundredths
OF an inch Of rain fell, by @. %schnept's
Official guage. In the country where
the moisture was most needed tho rain
was not SO heavy, but it lasted longer.
Ug tho Little Wheeling creek, where
everything was parching for lack Of
rain, the ground was we'll soaked and
vegetation wonderfully revived. Tho
creek, which was almost dry, was filled
nicely, and the benefits OF the shower
were almost incalculable, the former
heavy rains within the past week hay
Ing all missed that locality.
