About 200 people went down the river

Grant" in tow of the ''Little Round
Top" on the excursion given by Mona
ghan's band. The excursionists went to

there was a game OF ball between picked
mines from Ellsworth and Bluehill. Six
innings were played, the score resulting
IN tie. The band furnished music on
the schooner, and gave concert at the
band stand III Bluehill.
We really can't agree with the turf pa

H. Greely's colt Bingen, and which thinks
that mile in 2.21l y, which Henry litter
gave him at Mystic so early in the season,
is likely to knock him out. Let not thy
heart be trout bled "a colt which could go
quarters at 2.20 gait as yearling, and
which showed mile in 2.30 at Ellsworth
July 4, is all right for mile in 2.27ia or
2.2i p at Mystic, and one With engage
ments like Bingen needs little if work
to get him ready. We don't want the colt
to be "hoodooed by over-trotting, but as
he has been quarter in 81 seconds and
horsemen are reporting him as consider
ed OF more value than any horse at Mys-
tic, we're inclined to think him all right.
