with a running horse and made it in

The weather was warmer than usual
I but not uncomfortably so, and the at
/ tendance excellent Neale's Band kept
the people applauding between the
heats, and the general verdict of visit
/ ors was that no such music had ever
before been heard at the track.
The Judges for the day were Dfrec-
| tors Covey Boggs and Fox, and the
timers were F. c. DeLong, II. f. Ag-
new and P. Brandow.
+ Occasion may be taken here to say
that ever since the fair opened the
best of order has been maintained at
both Park and Pavilion by Morse's
officers under the direction of Captain
Callundun. They know all the promi-
nent crooks and sure-thing men and
have greatly aided the local officers IN
keeping out pickpockets and bunco
sharps. The men are, moreover, cour-
teous and gentlemanly toward all, and
! certainly deserve credit for their good
work.
