THE RACES.
Good racing on a good track-that's
what they had at Canton. Some OF the
most experienced horsemen In the state
declare the Canton track to be the best
half mile track In Maine. Ed. Thsyer,
the veteran South Paris horsemsn, says
Of IL: "This Is the best hslf-mile track
ever stepped on" This always good
track was In the pink Of condition last
week and the races were what might
be snticipated-first class.
Wednesdays races were the least In
teresting of the fair. They we're the
class for green horses and three-minutc
classes. The first was won In the
second, third and fourth heats by the
bay mare, Mollie NJ, by Red jacket.
