Contest.
The Pleasant Hill fair was at it's best
Yesterday. There was full attendance
of tbe gentry of Cape Elizabeth and
Scarboro. with q large addition from
Portland. The road to the fair ground
was full of teams, many Portland
families driving out. The attendance was
about 1000. and Secretary Stephen Scam
man and Treasurer Henry S. Jones think
the fair will this year pay all it's bills,
which amount to about 5000. 1t general
ly does this every year, and is out OF
debt. like the fine old institution that 1T
is.
The races were the Q. 40 and z. 35 classes,
and were fully up to the usual exhlbl-
tions on this track. There was a good
field of horses, and the races were well
contested. The attendance was large,
surprisingly so, when it is remembered
that there were races yesterday at Saco
also.
The first class called was the three
minute. Mr.. George M. Standwood acted
as starter. with Messrs H. W. Ilsley and
J, G. Munroe as associate judges. Inc
three minute race was in the first two
heats a hotly contested struggle between
Dan C. and Daisy, the latter leading
SLIGHTLY on each heat, and the former
pushing her closely, but making more
breaks. In the third heat Dan c. appar-
entity did not try and the feature was the
militant spurt Of Ethel F., which trotted
steadily and fast and pressed Daisy
closely The summary:
