when it seemed that Boone could win if
he was driven to do SO. Accordingly the
judges put up Jock Bowen, the veteran

There was large delegation of Port
land people in attendance as well as
many others to the eastward. Such are
the arrangements of the Boston & Maine
railroad that they have to wait at Old
Orchard depot about two hours. Finally
little old engine started towards Port
land with seven crowded cars, a large
number standing up, and the engine got
stuck ON the curve at the end OF the
bridge and wait was involved until
another locomotive could come and push
them into Union Station.
But the sport at Old Orchard was first
class in every respect, enjoyed by fully
five thousand people and enlivened by
music from the Biddeford Band.

SPORT At OLD ORCHARD.
The Fastest Race Ever Trotted in
Maine.

Nelson Shows u Good Mile, but Is OF
Good Time.
The. races at the Old Orchard kite
track yesterday, postponed from 4th of
July afternoon in consequence of the
sudden and heavy tempest of hail and
rain, were started yesterday under very
favorable conditions as to weather, but
the track had not fully recovered from
the deluge. In many spots it was sill
slightly muddy. The depression at the
starting point, which was always filed
with water during the rains of last year.
had its usual supply. This was RENE
died in the best possible, hasty way, by
hauling in sand. But the track, as a
whole, could not do justice to itself un-
der any such conditions.
Ah0Ht The stables were gathered the
usual crowds of horse admirers. the
largest number being clustered about
the stall of Nelson. Names peerless
trottlng stallion.
The afternoons sport opened with
about 5000 people in the grand stand and
scattered about the ground. The wind
was blowing fresh and the track drying
fast.
The first fun was the appearance of
Miss Mertie Peak of Baltimore, riding
her fine, LARGE. dark bay mare, Queen
Bess for lofty hurdle jump. The mare
cleared the heavy plank hurdles three
times, the third time SO clear and clean
as to elicit great applause from the spec
tators.
The races were then rung up by the
judges, ISAIAH ompilly, starter; DR.. Geo.
Il. Bailey, and P. H. Greeley in the
stand with Col. G. H. Osgood as timer,
and VIM. A. Whittier, recorder.
The first race called was the 2.21 class.
and 1t proved very fast one for Maine.
Five horses appeared and drew posi-
tons: Puck 1, Josie j. 2, vego 8, Early
Bird 4, and J. M. T.. s.
1t was pretty race between field of
four. but too fast for j. M. T., who was
distanced in the second heat. Early
Bird trotted in great form, but was
closely followed by Puck in the first
two heats and driven to the fastest time
seen in Maine. The first heat was in
Abb, the second in 2.l6s and, the third
in 2.l7, Early Bird winning in three
straight heats.
