Excitement Among Horsemen
THE SEPTEMBER RACES.

The SEIIhmBEh hACES.
The Farmer thinks the September
races at Nutmeg Park will be record
breakers, both in point Of attendance, in
number of horses that will take part and
in fast time. Secretary Wilson of the
association has received LOG entries for
the three days meet, some additions
from the list originally printed and the
contestants are arriving every day.
There ia already respectable sized num-
Der of horses and men at the park, and
the working out process is being gone
over every day. Saturday afternoon
there was lively brush between Henry
Carstesen's Lent, Dave Armstrong; En-
peror, Charles Wilson's Sloppy Weather,
Charles Lees Frank g., Daniel Pickett's
Bessie Wolf and F. 81. D0dge's Dutch
1t was a pretty race, and the horses were
| in bunch till the last turn, when Lent
| won out by a head in 2: 27 IL. r. G.
| Tousey's sor1eI, little Dan, was idriver
for half mile in l :08. Regarding the
fall races, which will take place Sept 2, 3
and 3, the local ASSOCIATION has the great
| est hopes. The track is now down TO q
| fine condition, which was not the case al
the inaugural meet last May. The trscl
record at the firts meet was 2.16 l-2 bu
it is safe to say it will be lowered to 2 II

The excellent New England Home
stead, in its last issue, makes a strong
plea for clean fairs, which may we'll be
needed by fair managers Throughout
New England. IC is go timely we print it
entire. Says The Homestead "Give US
clean fairs Let not the agricultural fair,
whether local, county, district or state,
be turned into school of vice. That's
inst what some of the so-called agricul-
tural exhibitions are. They TEEN with
devices to swindle the unwary, that cause
many to distrust reputable exhibitors and
dealers and thus iniure the material
interests OF the whole exhibition. But
robbng people of their money by fake
schemes Is unimportant compared to the
robbery of innocence that is boldly per
mitted at many fairs. Impure or outright
immoral ATTRACTIONS" are allowed at too
many fairs. Many youth can trace his
fall into sinful ways to such influences
at an agricultural fair" Many a girl
has been enticed from the paths of virtue
after witnessing the glitter of immodest
women in some midway side show"
To thus mar the purity of youth is a
wrong that all the good done in other
directions by fair can never compen-
safe for. We certainly voice the senti-
ments of the great people in depouncing
all such shameful adjuncts, and in
demanding that the fairs be held to a
strictly moral standard. There are in
fluences enough at work to drag down
young and old, without engaging the
fairs in such iniquity. ALI our editorial
representatives, correspondents and sub
scribers are requested to report to us
promptly any Objectionable features at
the fairs they may attend. Let us create
q sentiment against such nastiness that
shall purify the fairs. One method will
quickly put stop to all these evils. Let
the people who don't approve of such
things keep away from the fair that
countenapces them.'
