Two professional bicycle riders from
abroad appeared, and entered for the one
mile open race. They were l.. P. SWEET of
Norway, who won at Monroe, and N G.
Snow of Orono. Mr.. Snow gave an exhi-
bition half mile in 1.12 IL. In the race the
first two heats were from standing start
and the third from flying start. Mr. Snow
took the lead in each heat and kept it until
near the finish when Mr.. SWEET shot past
him and came in winner. The time was 40
2.41, 2.3S.
There was but one entry for the premium
offered to the lady who would harness a
horse, drive around tie track and unharness
in the shortest time, and the trial was de-
clared off
The only accident was near the close of
second day, when man who was driving
wildly on the track between heats collided
with some boys on horseback. A horse was
thrown and tangled up with the carriage,
but no serious damage was done.
The success of the last afternoon put the
managers in better spirits and offset the at
tack Of blues which they had Tuesday, The
weather was all that could be asked for, the
dust on the track being the only draw back
to a full enjoyment Of the races.

The trustees of the society met at the
Court House Saturday afternoon to audit
the bills and adjust the business Of the fair.
The finances We're found to be more favor
able than at any fair for several years.
Enough money was received to pay all bills,
purses and premiums in full and leave a
small balance in the treasury. The society
charges no entrance fee in any class except
trotting horses, but deducts 10 per cent.
from premiums in lieu of entrance fee.
