Brooks Of the Horse Breeders Assocla-
ton, and mono were missed nom th<
crowd that gathersd about the fAksrI

The races; well, the crowd saw q
least ono that entertained them. Tn
- class was not that one ~ there wers
only three horses started and u yery
soon became evident that the little blacl
marc Patience BY Maine JefIerson, own
ed by Young Brothers Of South Paris,
had too much speed for the others and
she logged under the wirc an easy win
ner. Tho second heat was In l-3-'
order. In the third heat the bay mar
Arthurette by Artemus, Jr., owned By
J. A. Brooks Of West Paris, showed {
good burst Of speed and came Init
second place-in fact came under thu
wire first, but she had broken and VA

The 2 1884 class was the race OF Wed
uesday. Five heats were required e
decide Il, and every heat was horse
race. The contestants were Glen EagIe
by Glenarm, . gray pacing stallion IRON
Casco; Capt. wedgewood oy Wedge
wood, q well-kuown Norway stallion
Adye, chestnut mare OF great speed

fayorites; Rolfe X, q handsome blacl
eeldlug owned by Waterman q Jordan
OF Mechanic Falls, aud sired BY Blacl
Rolfc, and Perry Farrington's 3-year-old
Nichols, the Arlon OF Oxford County.
In the first heat Rolfe X, driven BY
one of his owners, Mr.. Prince A. Jor
dan, drew the pole and by good and f,s'
work kept Il and came under the wire
winner Of the heat In 2:I. HIS posi-
ton was closely contested every Inch OF
the way, however, by the little 3.year'
old Nichols, driven by Emerson Ames
Nichols was good second and Tommy
C. 1. a close third. The gray PAGER,
Glen Eagle showed lots OF speed bu'
was very rank and unsteady.
In the second heat Rolfe n. threw
shoe while scoring aud delayed tns
race some. Capt. wedgewood, driver
by Thede Thayer, made nearly sue
cessful effort to come Into hrst place
but the finish Was q great race between
Rolfe X, and Nichols. Both drivers
used the whip freely coming. down TN
stretch and Nichols was gaining on TIM
gelding when Rolfe. n. put MS nose
under the wire BY q lead OF only a rev
inches. Capt. Wedgewood was Close
third, but broke In the stretch. Excite
ment now ran high and the audienct
became noisy. Nichols was evidently
the fayorlte, and q deserving fsvorite III
the next heat showed.
After getting the word for the thirt
heat the two leaders went around close
Nv Tapped and fighting every Inch until
Rolfe X. made a break and lost the poll
10 the three-year-old Nichols and tha
little Oxford County sensation was MOI
again headed, finishing out the mile u
the remarkable time Of 2:32 -, anf
making half mile In :l5 ON this SLOW
track. Rolfe X. was good second. IL
this heat the excitement was Increased
by A runaway accident. The driver o.
Tommy c. I. was crowded against tn,
fence by the driver Of Glen Eagle ant
thrown from his sulky, and Tommy tool
a half mile run just for exercise, and
looked at times rs though he was bound
TO beat the trotters and 90 through
them at this gait. lie was finally stop
ped with no damage except increased
iameness to himself.
We have already told you that Nichols
was not headed again In this race. 1t u
also true that he was closely pressed BY
Rolfe X. 10 each of the last two heats
and whips were freely used coming
down the home stretch, but the geldinl
made several bitches aud gaining breaks
Nichols was loudly applauded when m
reported before the stand at the close o.
the five heat race. He Is owned oy u
T.. Harrington Of L0ckes Mills and
driven by Emerson o. Ames OF Dixfield
He's sure candidate for the "charmct
circle" this year. Mr.. Harrington hal
contributed much on many occasions e
make the entertainments ut this tract
rood, and his horses are always favor
ties here. They are all the get OF MI
valuable stock horse, Victor Patchen.
