good Judges and an A No. l starter
can make the year success it certain

Old faces could be seen in the
Judges stand yesterday, fore
most among which was that
of Chester f. Pike OF Claremont, N.
H., the prince of starters who did his
duty yesterday just the same as usual
and withouta hitch. He had the dri.
vers with him, the consequence being
all heats were good starts with very
little scoring. Another familiar face
WIS that genial one of l.. W. Morris Of
Brad tnrd ml1o filled the place Of one
of the judges last season, and that Of
DR.. D. j. Smith Of this city. The new
Judge this year is A. H. Carter Of
Lebanon, N. H., and, according to
the manner in which he performed
his duties yesterday the management
are to be congratulated on the ability
Of the three men filling these posi-
tions. A. A. Stimson carried the dis
tance flag as Of yore. 1t was not un.
til after 3 O'Clock that starter Pike
called the horses for the first race,
which was the 2 so class. e.
This race was a hotly contested one
after the first heat but Davis proved
too speedy for the Others and won the
three heats handily The actual con
