 The races on the Foxon track Satur- day were very interesting and those present thorouehly enjoyed the sport i The weather was delightful, but the track was very heaycy, caused by the rain Thursday and freezing of the ground Friday night, making it muddy and slippery. When the time came to start the races five hcrses reported for the 2:30 class and one for the free-for- all. At the suggestion of MT. Futile one of the managers, he decided to start three horses in each class, taking Maud B. and Fanny Bell from the 2:30 class and starting them with Harry H. in the free-for- all, leaving Blue Light, Virgil E. and Jimmy Moy to start in the 2:30 class. About o'clock Starter George Perry of Providence rang the bell for the 2:30 class with A. A. Tanyane, Robert Meacham and w. A. Bright in the stand as judges. The horses appeared promptly on the track Jimmy Moy drew the pole, Vir- gil B. second and Blue Light outside. At the word go Blue Light and Jimmy Moy went to the front. followed closely by Virgil B., Jimmy Moy still at the pole and Blue Light at his saddle, each horse holding the same position till they swung into the back stretch the second time when Blue Light grad ually drew ahead and took the pole and passed under the wire about two lengths in the lead. The other heats in this race were very similar,
