MAILING FORD,

Yesterday a number of horse owners
 were out on the track practicing their animals preparatory to the running races. Linus H. Hall had quite a prom ising speeder, and after a practice run
 with the others the horse was speeded | around the track to see what time it
 could make. As it was coming under the
 wire N. F. Ingraham who was in the
 judges stand, spoke to the boy who was
 riding, and as he turned he pulled the
 rein and the horse turned just enough | to strike against the railing by the entrance to the grand stand and he
 was thrown inside the railing on the ground. The driver escaped serious in- | jury, but the horse was badly cut on the side and legs, making several ter rible wounds, which will disable him for a time, if not forever. o. Vincent Coffin, the republican nom- inee for governor, passed through here on the 4:38 train for New Haven yester-
 day afternoon. J. Walter Mix recently stated to a | friend that he was not candidate for selectman this year, and would not
