NORRiDGEWOCK RACES.
Evelyn. Hipponna and st. Crcix. Jr.. Winners
The Favoriies Defeated.

NoRRIDGEwoCK, Aug. S.-(SpecieD -
There was good attendance at the first
lay of the August meeting at Etmwood
trotting park, this afternoon.
Two of the three events trotted were
close and interesting, but in the other one,
the 25 pace, there were but three starters,
two of which were taking an off day, and
Evelyn led the procession in each heat,
Jogging home in 230 in two heats, and
driven in the last four seconds faster by
Ned H., who got his best foot forward in
that heat.
Badoura was the favorite IN the 227,
two to one against the field of six starters.
But all the way through the race the mare
acted badly and only succeeded in getting
fourth money. The first heat was won by
Gre nader, and in an exciting finish with
three horses abreast on the home stretch,
Hipponna stole in and took the heat, and
the next two were easily won by her.s
There was fun in the 242 @class.
Black Beauty was the favorite before
the race was started, ard many were
disposed to believe that this mare had speed
enough to have won the first heat at least,
but she didn't, and st. Croix. Jr., with his
big driver, led the Fairfield horse by a
length. Then in the next heat Mr.. Waite
wanted it. He made hard drive for it
and finished second. He drove harder in
the third but his horse made two dreadful
breaks by which great amount of ground
was lost and the horse did well to get back
to third place. St. Croix, Jr., is a hand
some 3-yea, sold, a perfect second of his
illustrious sire, and if he had been driven to
it in the first heat would without doubt have
entered the 220 list.
The judges were o. M. Sibley, Oakland !;
Charles Milliken, Augusta, and +. Watts,
South Norridgewock.

Jadet said that he was strolllng
along the Rue Concorde when he saw
an officer of the army, a young man
in full uniform, struggling with
young girl. Anxious to see more and
always chivalrous to defend innocence
and beauty, he fastened forward to
see the girl disengage herself from
the officers grasp, and before break
ing away, deal him several blows
with little whip which brought the
blood, for the tiny lash cut like razor.
''That for the 18th of July, and this!

at each stroke, and when she ran off
