Race and Premium List.

Race and Premium List.
The Springfield fair came to a sue
cessful close, with the largest attend-
ance probably ever known on the last
day. There were three interesting
races on the track. The summaries of
the first two were given in The TIMES
last week, the last one not being fin
ished in season to obtain the result.
This was the free for all in which there
were six starters and was decided in
three heats as follows:
Glenday G, Charles Haskey, Troy,
N. H...... .........................1 I I
Logan 5, II. r. Brannock Brownsville,
Dennis H. blk s. Roswell sherman,
Harry W. CHI g, E. L. Putney, Newport,
| n H.. .........................5 4
Belle Sargent IN. j. Churchill, New
Champion Jr. s, G. H. Ellison, West
Minister Time: 2s7 - 2,5s lass. dr
The accident to the balloon prevented
the ascension and caused some disap-
pointment but the crowd did not seem
to lack for amusement. Considerable
entertainment was afforded by the eX-
hibition of J. A. Wilson's trained
hound, Jack, (" who performed large
number of amusing and difficult tricks,
some OF which were equal to any ever
shown by professionals.
Below is the list of premiums award
ed at the fair, which for the first time
in its history we were unable to obtain
in season to publish the same week.
