strike of the ore-bearing rock was
found to he at nearly right angles to
the general trend of the strata in the
mountain, and the dip, which is
nearly vertical, is to the southwest,
speaking in general terms. The

and nois,est days. The heat was
almost unbearahle, the long-wished'
tor rain not coming until the eNclt-
ing events were over. But every.
thing passed off finely without a
hitch or break and aside from the
discomfort endured by the crowds
with patriotic patience the day was
successful one The program was
a long one, beginning with the gun
salute in the morning. This, by the
way, kept up for nearly "a hours,
and with the accompaniment of tin
horns, torpedocs and cannon crack
ere, was enough to shatter the
nerves of even those not ordinarily
disturbed by this annual racket.

and was sufficient to prevent sleep

Al TIE FAIR GROUND.
The program of horse and bicycle
races at the fair ground began about
$50, the heat intense and no sign of
reliet, but with Zig crowd In attend
ance. The novelty Of celebration
in Woodstock attracted hundreds of
visitors and they had Il good time if
it was trifie warm.
THE HORSE RACES.
Dust and heat were against good
racing but the trotting events were
all run off successfully. Fast time
was not to be expected under such
conditions, clouds of dust obscuring
the track and horses at intervals and
seriously interfering with the pleas
ure of the spectators and contestants
in the friendly trials Of speed. The
most interest of course was centered
in the-race between some of the best
of the local trotters but the second
race, an impromptu affair, furnished
good sport, too. "Swanton Boy"
took his race easily, as was expect
ed, making the circuit of the track
us steadily rs a clock without Il
break. He was driven by his own
or. Cleo &. Coke, and was not
pushed at any time. a brush in
one heat between Mig and Hot
Tamalc, two well known rivals on
the snow path, was a feature of the
race.
John Gilman, with Lord Sails
bury, took both heats of the second
race without any trouble and Lord
Salisbury could have done much
better if he had been asked to step
out lively. However, Prince and
Jerry both did good work.

THE BICYCLE RACES.
The four bicycle races were all
interesting contests and the riders,
kids" and all, deserved all the APP
plause they got for pushing their
way through the dust on Il heavy
track. Bridgewater sent down
Hathorn as Il representative in the
two mile race and his good work
won the first p'ize, Fraser OF Wood
stock, promising rider. being
close second. The crowd watched
the "kids" with quite as much en-
thusiasm as they did any of the
dusty riders.
