quite last going down the back stretch. as
one of the skates was hanging on t0 his
long way out in the lead. aud Mr.. Ellis
worth's chances looked Ike one IN a
thousand.
Jockey "JIm'' did not despair, however,
but kept at his mount. and riding with hand
and heel was in position at the head ofthe
stretch where he had a lighting chance.
From there on he slowly but surely moved
down the horses in front Of him, and as the

HARRINGTONS GHOSTLY RIDE.
Outside of this grand finale to the days
sport there was nothing of particular note
took place. Five favorites landed the
money. Hutchinson put up an Al finish
on Herndon, who only beat DR.. Walters
BalliDasloe by neck, and Jockey Har-
rington pulled Westuver. At least those
who bet on the horse said that he did,
and they were certainly the ones who
should know.
The first winning favorite was Tommy
Brophy. He was n to chance when
the talent got through betting on him.
Brophy made all the running and won
bandily from Westover. who was under
strong pull all the way down the stretch.
Alv2 was third, eight lengths away.
Ceremony carried the 'uUugh' OF the wise
people in the second race, but she could
not sio the trick. Granger, n to ] shot.
acted as pace maker after going the first
quarter and eventually won, somewhat
haudily, from Bonneville, with the favorite
third.
NOTHING BUT FIRST CHOICES.
From then on there was nothing in sight
but favorites. Miss Elizabeth, at 3 to 3,
beat Electro and Psyche In the third
event. The former was I o to / chance
and the latter closed at thirties.
Deceitful was played from Z to B TO
3 to 8 in the fourth, and after making
all the running, landed the money by five
lengths from Berwyn.
Herndon was the only one faDcied in
the fifth, and opening at 10 3. went to
the post an IL to 20 favoritr. After a
little tilt with Ballinasloe he managed to
win by neck. Airplant was Il very poor
third.
The closing race was the Ellsworth
affair. He opened at 3 to o, went up To
6 to 8, and was finally hacked down to
his first price. Renaissance was backed
from his original price OF threes down To
6 to 8 and then went back to 2's.

Much Ado About Nothing.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
BEANCREEK, May 22.-Having heard
several evil reports that have been
circulated in this neighborhood con-
corning Mr.. L. NJ. Woody in regard to
locking the school house door against
Miss Lily Hendrix and Miss Cords
Richardson, two blind girls, and /, be-
ing a director and fully acquainted with
the circumstances, think it my duty,
in justice to Mr.. Woody and the pa
irons of the district, and other dis
tricts also, to correct some statements
made.
The facts in the case are as follows,
viz:
First-Mr. Woody advertised the
entertainment by distributing circu-
lars to the pupils.
Second-The ladies sent Frank Wis
dom to the school house, but failed to
ask for the key and consequently the
teacher locked the door, as usual; but
when called upon delivered it over ut
once. When l arrived, some time be-
fore the exercises began, l found the
ladies comfortably seated around a
good warm fire, and not locked out in
the cold. II. j. ARMSTRONG.
