A Lively Trotting Race.

An exciting trotting race came off on
the track at the Fair Grounds at this
place, on Friday of last week, between
Frank, a small sorrel entered By Mr.
RObt. HOLMAN, of Now Market and
Ned, large bay horse entered by
Louis Apperson, For some reason the
crowd, especially the knowing horse men
with the exception of few loyal spirits
from New Market had picked out the
big bay for dead sure and easy winner
and 1t was almost impossible to get bets
against him at any odds, even the New
Market boys seeming to lose their usual
pluck under the overwhelming con-
sensus of opinion. The day was an ideal
one for race, the sun making AL over
coat oppressive, while the Indian Summer
like haze hung along the blue mountains
and over the landscape, a lovely one as
viewed from the grand stand. The
crowd which was composed oil large del
egstions from the upper end of the coun-
ty and every Woodstock man who had a
drop of sporting blood in his veins, was
good natured and jovial one and the
supporters Of the two horses chsffed
each other In the best of humor.
The track was in good condition with
the exception of part of the back stretch
which was muddy and heavy.
The judges were James Cox, of Belgra-
via stock farm, Saml. Moore, and Nj. NJ.
Moore. The latter was the starter. and
we believe we only repeat the sentiment
of the horse men generally when we say
there is no fairer or better one in the
State.
The horses were brought up amid much
excitement, Ned Seeley, the well known
driver and trainer behind Ned, and Lew.
Brooks driving Frank.
Ned, won the first half mile heat
hands down, the little sorrel really hardly
seeming to be in 1t. New Market squatted
way down under the blow, and only got
their breath in short gaps. They were
most numerically rubbed by the LIT.
jackson crowd. For the second heat Joe.
Hoffman undertook to drive the sorrel,
and the horses had hardly gotten off be-
fore it was seen that things had very ma
terially changed, the game little sorrel
coming under the wire a winner. New
Market again put their feathers in their
hats aud once more were game cocks all
over, while NJ. Jackson very reluctantly
pulled her flag down to half mast and
sung IN a lower key.
Wnen thelittle horse won the third
and winning heat the sulphur pulled up
as if some one had pulled the lid off of
the lower region and the price of shave
ia Mt. jackson at once doubled
Bob Hoffman ran around as If be had
as many legs as centlpede for he had
right to feel good all over, while the
other New Market boys who had stood so
Loyalty by Bob and the little sorrel were
so happy that they did not stop smiling
even after they reached the hotels in
town.
The race was a fair one and was much
enjoyed
The time was as follows:
FIRST heat in 1888 Second 1871, Third
1,324.

A Negro Severely Punished.

A negro named Matt Magruder in
censed the citizens of Broadway one day
last week by making an insulting remark
in public about a young lady who is
popular in that town. A party of her
friends organised to lynch the brute, and
after a warm chase, in which a number
of shots were fired, the negro surrendered
himself. There was great Indignation,
but it was deemed best merely to admin
lister a severe flOggIng. This was done,
and the negro was ordered to leave the
neighborhood aud not return uuder pen
atty Of death. He promptly complied
with the terms of his release, and was
accompanied by his brother who had also
made himself Obnoxiousin the community
and was ordered to leave the town.

We return thanks to the Baltimore Sun
for a copy of its more than valuable
almanac for 1894 1t is really au encyelo-
pedIa of just such information as is
oftenest wanted, and is whole library
in itself and is furnished to its subscri-
bers free. 1t is hardly necessary for Us to
say the Baltimore san is regarded in this
section as the paper to swear by and
when you see it in the Sun, it goes every
time with our people.
The Richmond correspondent of the
Winchester Times says: ut gives me great
pleasure to record the Honorable NJ. IL.
Walton, of Shenandoah. He stood by
Barton to the last and allowed no selfish
considerations to dissuade him from his
duty and the obligations OF his promises.
/ He was faithful to his section and to his
word. he was shoulder to shoulder with
Frederick county anl this should not be
forgotten in the day of reckoning"
Monday last bting court day brought
a considerable crowd to town, the num-
Der from the upper end of the county
being particularly noticeable. Business
was only fairly brisk the people SEEM
ingly being anxious to hold on to their
money, aud only buying such things as
they must have. The fancifully dressed
"soap" man with his figure of Punch
without Judy, was on hand at his old
stand near the court house, He drew a
large crowd, and as the American people
would sooner deal with a travelling faker
laGytime than with some we'll known
home dealer we suppose he raked in some
shekels. His soap seemed to be a pretty
fair article and we guess all parties are
satisfied, The horse market was almost
nothing, in fact excepting a few home
sales and trades nothing was done in thi;
line.
The crowd was an orderly one as Shen
andoah crowds generally are, and Oul
police force wore good natured smiles all
day. We suppose the usual amount 0
fire water was swallowed, but as it wa
well distributed 40 one got more thar
