and the New England fair closed in a
down pour, which interrupted the trot-
ting and prevented Johnsons attempts
against time. Notwithstanding the
weather, the crowd on the grounds was
numbered by thousands. Gov. Cleaves
Mayor Baxter and members OF the Port
land city council, were present as guests
of the management.
The trotters managed to finish the 2. IA
trot and the race for the two-year olds.
Only two heats were got off in the 2. 16
trot, and it had settled down to look
| like sure thing for Candidate when the
rain came on and spoiled the sport
| Money was given as the summary stood.
The 2 25 pace and the e.25 trot were de-
clared off. The summaries:
