Litchfield stock farm in New Braintree

of fast horses in town are going TO take
their speeders to the track to settle old
arguments and decide if possible who
owns the fastest stopper in North

fun of the thing, and those of the mi
tiated say that arguments will in all
probability fly thicker and faster after
tomorrow afternoons meeting. There
is scarce a town in Worcester county

so good natured between horsemen as

keener than ever

the speed he can get out of Lady Gold
rock, which is better known by the less
