THE RACES.



The racing of Friday, the last day of
he fair was fully up to the standard set
on the two previous days. The track has
not hoen in the best of condition ana the
time has not been fast. The grand stand
was fairly well filled and the weather
somewhat warmer than on Thursday,
which added much to the comfort of those
I'm attendance
The 2:12 trot and pace being the most
interesting race of the day. was started
first. Four heats were trottcL with tie
three starters from the field of six from
which pansv blossom, Coy. Holt and r.
l. c. were missing Those remaining were
f. r. Knott. Goliath and Carrie -. There
was considerable local interest in this race
from the fact that Knott and Goliath
were both in to win and they were quite
evenly backed
Carrie D., had the pole for the first heat
and the three horses got off with Knott
some distance in the rear but Brewster
who drove Knott, was satisfied and the
word was given. Goliath took the pole
from Carrie d.. and led Knott by a hale
length at the first half mile but fell back
at tho three-ouarters mole and lost ground
Tho bunch did some lively work coming
under the wire but Colbath's driver swung
hin, from bis nosition 70 the ri1dle Of
the track and he was set Back to third
nloce for changing his position This gave
carrie d.. first place. with Knott second.
Colhath's time was 215t, but the time of
the winning horse was taken for the heat,
