DAYS sport were never seen on the grounds
anu the grand stand, filled from top to
potion, had the privilege OF enjoying two
uays oi splendid racing. Tie Glasses were
well filled and fine field of horses showed
up at every race. There were few disap
polni ments and the sport passed off sue.
cesslully and in way most creditable to
the managers.
Chester Pike, Jr, of Cornish, n. H.. Off
clated as starter most satisfactorily. The
Judges and timers were L. ID. Harpin OF
windsor, j. X. Murdoch and DR.. ii, II
/ Symonds of Woodstock, f. B. Wilson OF
Eoston and Fred Savage of Windsor. and
The decisions from the judges staud were
invariably received with noisy approba-
tlon by the enthusiastic grand ISLANDERS.
Inc 2:4O class brought out four starters
ana u LOOK five heats to decide it, Richard
X taking first money.
seven horses started in the premium
race for hve-year olds. This was George
INV likes first race and in his initial per-
tormance he showed himself to be a very
promising candidate for honors i'm any
contest he might enter. He is owned by
Dr. Logan and was driven by Henry Sim.
ser and his speed and behavior made a dis
tlnct impression on the horsemen present
During one of the heats tug on Clossle's
sulkey dropped but Raymond grabbed it
ana turned the track holding it in his
hand.
The BradIaughs did their famous sire
proud in their special race, and as usual
the contest was one of the events OF the
iair Bumblebee in the hands OF John
Moore proved little faster than his rivals,
three straight heats telling the story.
In the opinion of all who watched the
sport until dark, the third days races were
the best ever run on the track. The chief
interest centered in the free for-all, OF
course, and every time Robert b. led the
field under the wire Charles Taylor, the
veteran driver, won roaring shout OF ap.
plause. Twice he was carried from the
track on the shoulders Of excited specta-
tors, and once he bore a bouquet trium-
phantly from the field.
The other events were nearly as excit
ing, one or two incidents adding to the
interest in the sharp contests, and the
summary shows that good time was made.
Hudson was fined for striking Putnam
at the conclusion of heat ia the 2:50
race, Hudson claiming that Putnam struck
his horse on the turn.
