 In the three-ysar-old trotting class the sensational chestnut colt Crescent, 2:21A, was the choice at s10o to s30. The pacing race was soon decided, the fa- vorite played with the fisld, taking the lead at the word and keeping it to the wire.
 The race of the day was the 2:24 class, and the favorite had a close run for the money.

In the second heat Georgena led to the half and broke badly, but at the distance pole Emily came down the hill like streak and in a dashing race in the home stretch won by three qudlleTS Ol d leIlS LII. 1SofSeud SOI lHe third heat. In the fourth Georgena, Emily and Quarterstaff came up on al- most even terms and they passed under the wire only noses apart. Georgena appeared to have a head the better of 1t, but the judges saw Emily first and the heat went to her. She won the next heat with ease.
 The 3year-old race was soon settled, as Crescens led from start to fini h, though the Village Farm Ally. American Belle, never gave him a chance to make a mistake. Crsscens was bred, trained and driven by his owner, George II. Ketchum a wealthy banker of Toledo.

Narrow Escapes.

Adam Nandeyer, one of the original
settlers Of Tallulah, Georgia, was a ia
nous hunter and trapper. The histor-
ian of Georgia relates several of Mr..
Vandever's hairbreadth escapes, from
which we select the following:
At one time Mr.. Vandever was en-
camped on lofty mountain in Union
County. TO make an observation of
his surroundings he climbed upon an
immense boulder which stood on the
brow of a precipice. Just then he
heard the howl of wolf in the woods
below. He stepped to the far side of
the boulder, hoping to get a glimpse
of the enemy. As he moved, the great
rock, which CHANGED to be delicately
balanced, began to roll and an instant
later it was plunging over the preci-
pico.
Fortunately an oak-tree dropped over
the boulder and in that moment of
peril the wOOdsman gave an upward
leap and grasped one of the branches
and hung suspended in mid-afr while
the great stone went crashing down the
mountain side.
Il felt my hair turn white" said the
old gentleman afterward, when real
lied how near I'd come to going along
with that rocking stone. The limb |

swung back from over the cliff and
dropped to the ground l felt as weak

were formerly used for this purpose.
Large ambulance cars, however, have
