everywhere observed, not too noisily,

were neatly and handsomely decorated,

The program arranged by the com.
mlttee was appreciated by everyone and
passed off smoothly and without COM
plant. There was a crowd at the race
track in the afternoon, and from 2
o'clock until nearly 6 were they amused
with racing and kindred sports.
THE BICYCLE RACE
was first upon the program, and it is to
be regretted that an accident prevented
this from being a fair test of speed. F..
f.. Moorhouse and DR.. F. T. Edwards
we're the only contestants, and as the
two came nearly to the wire just before
the start, Logan's sulky backed into the
track, upsetting Warehouses; wheel,
1ammine it up considerably, and caus.
ing the race to be put off. 1t was run
later and was pretty ever until about an
eighth of a mile had been Travelled, when
the handle bars of Mr.. Warehouses;
machine, loosened by the first accident,
caused him to fall. Doctor Edwards
was declared winner, making the half
mile in 1:4119.
THE FREE-FOR.ALL TROT
was next and in this there were four
entries, Murl Gothard, by F. D. Kend-
rick, Dock, by G. A. Bentley, Prince
