HARVESTING

Of Tobacco Crop Begins in Earnest.
 The East Hartford correspondent of the Hartford Courant says: The far mers in this vicinity were pleased yes terday with the prospects of good weather this week, and the harvesting of the tobacco crop will be started to- day in all sections of the town and pushed as rapidly as possible. The crop is large and a better one has not been grown here in a number of years. The heavy wind and rain some weeks ago did not do as much damage as was at first supposed, and hardly any eff fleets of the storm are now visible. The larger part of the crop this year is broad leaf, but there are many acres of Havana seed, for which there seems to be a demand. The wet weather of last week it was thought would damage the crop, but this does not seem to be the case except in extreme low land. In fields where the tobacco was dead ripe" and needed cutting it is reported that some oft has deeaysd in the

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES,
Dtrectum Kelly Defeats the Much

Dtrectum Kelly Defeats the Much
 Praised Mare Mattie Patterson.
 Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-The boast of H. M. Hanna and other Cleveland friends of the western mare, Hattie Patterson, that no one could tell how fast she could go, was short-lived to- day, when Directum Kelly, the four year-old Direct colt, took her measure in the S5,OOO Queen City stake, 2:16 trot. The Vilander mare had heat in 2:14 to her credit before the rain on Wednesday, but Directum Kelly won a hard fought heat in 2:OS IA, followed with two more heats in 2:10 IA and 2:10 1-2, the second being a beautiful drive by Kelly and a great burst of speed by the colt after a disastrous break, putting him many lengths back. The Cleveland party lost barrel of money, Hattie Patterson having sold favorite in the early pools $25 to $14 on the field. James Butler, owner of Di- rectum Kelly, won handsomely. The pOol boxes held about $50,000 on the race, making it the best played of the season. The judges fined Saunders $100 for pulling up Hattie and allowing Big Timber to pass him after he saw he could not beat out Directum Kelly. All bets on the heat were declared off.
 This was the first of the big stakes of the Buffalo Grand Circuit meeting trotted on the Fort Erie track. There was big crowd out. Lady of the Manor, the favorite, easily captured the unfinished PIP pace, in which Indiana had taken heat on Wednesday,. The Abbott scored the second victory for Village Farm, when he bowled over the others in the PIP trot in impressive style, a prohibitive favorite, after his chief opponent, Hans McGregor, had tangled up in bad break and was distanced.
