The record-union., 1899-09-17


their evening shadows well across the
field. The attendance was second only
to that of Governors Day, when the
stands contained as many people as
they would hold. 1t was fitting con-
clusion of a. remarkably successful
meeting.
Some persons have asked what the
Agricultural Society is to do with the
money it has made this year over and
above it's expenses. It may not be gem
orally known that the society has not
been out of debt in many years, and
often the individual notes of the Di-
rectors have been held by the banks
for thousands of dollars advanced to
meet the societys liabilities.
Director Wilson said yesterday that
another fair as successful as the one
that has just closed would place the
feet again and clear of debt. 1t may
be, however, that after the next bal
ance sheet is struck that feat will be
nearly, if not fully, accomplished.
The opening event was for the 2:26
trotting class, purse $1,000. The pools
on the first heat sold at even money
on Psyche, 1 to 2 Lottie, to 1 each
Lottie Parks, Eleanor Ann and Maud
Newman, and 10 McNally.
Eleanor Ann led from the quarter to
the far turn, where Lottie passed her,
and Psyche, which had broken on the
first turn and sailed along toward the
rear, came on and challenged Eleanor
for second. In the stretch Psyche
passed her and finished three lengths
behind Lottie in 2:191a, Eleanor Ann
third.
For the second heat the odds re-
mained the same as before.
Lottie took the second heat by
length from Psyche in 2:2112, McNally
third. Psyche left her feet on the first
turn, as in the other heat. and made
no showing until on the far turn, where
she went on with a rush and got into
second position. One of the tires on
Lottie Parks sulky came off during the
heat.
For the third heat it was even money
on Psyche, and to 5 Lottie, the others
selling at 10 to l each.
Lottie won the third heat easily by
several lengths in 2:20, Psyche second,
and Eleanor Ann third.
The free-for-al1 pace for $1,000
purse brought forth six old campaign
ers. For the first heat the odds were:
Don to 8, F1oracita s to 1, Al. Gregor
5, Fanny Putnam 3, Much Better TO-
Beachwood 8.
Al. Gregor and Fanny Putnam had
a. little fun with the rest of them till
the far turn was reached. where Don
passed Fanny while she was doing a
cake-walk. Down the stretch it was a
hard brush between Gregor and Don,
but the latter got the heat by a half
length, Beachwood third. Much Bet
ter was distanced. 1t was reported
that she suffered a rupture, but this
proved untrue.
In the second heat Don was / to 3.
Fanny Putnam and AL Gregor and
Beachwood each 4 to 1.
Beachwood led from start to finish,
with Gregor second to the last quarter,
where Fanny Putnam moved into sec
ond place and finished a bare length
from the leader. Floracita got third.

turn and could do nothing.
Don was 2 to for the third heat,
F1oracita s to /, Al. Gregor 10, Fanny
Putnam 6, and Beachwood 2.

with FIoracita at his wheel, but there
Don shot to the front and opened
a gap of two lengths Around the
turn Floracita was second, Beachwood
falling back and Fanny Putnam third.
