The Connecticut River Stock Farm
Of Hatfield, Mass, which exhibited in
Brattleboro this wear for the sixth con
secutive season, graced the fair with
a better exhibit than ever, statement
which is praise enough in itself. This
farm is renowned for its extremely
high class driving horses and also has
bred some exceedingly fast racers. Dur
ing the past year two of its matched
pairs have been sold for $500 each. At
the head OF this exhibit was the ia

THURSDAYS Races.

Split heats and driving finishes were
the rule in the racing of Thursday and
there was enough excitement to satisfy
the most ardent follower of the track.
Only one race was finished owing to
the number of heats which were neces-
sary. On account of the rain the two
classes which were finished this morn
ing were called off and the money di-
vided according to positions.
Only three horses came to the wire
in the , :12 class Light Star having
the pole with Elmer ID. second and
Walter u. third. The latter started in
we'll but broke on the first turn and
lost some distance. On the half the
Troy horse was gaining rapidly and
made game attempt to beat out
Light Star at the finish but failed by
few feet. Elmer D. was third. Both
Elmer d. and Walter II. broke on the
start of the second heat and gave
Light Star lead which could not be
overcome. Walter H. acted better
in the third heat and was leading
second. The latter broke Just before
reaching the third quarter, however,
and Walter II. won with Elmer ID. sec

were started with Light Star so far in
the rear as to raise loud protest from
the grandstand. The chestnut gelding
made a game fight to win but could
not overcome the handicap although
he managed to beat out Elmer D. for
second place In the fifth Walter II.
and Elmer ID. went into the air togeth-
er and gave Light Star the lead but on
the stretch the latter could not stand
the pace and was beaten out by Walter
H.. which won easily.
The , 30 class had 10 starters, an un-
usually large field, and it was in truth
a horse race. After some difficulty in
getting the bunch started ii finally got
away with Henry y. in the lead. This
horse was never headed and won with
apparent ease, The Judge being second
and Delgula third, the latter having
worked up from ninth position at the
half. The Judge took the lead in the
second heat and led to the three-quarters
where a slight break gave Henry \. the
lead and alse the heat. Della Benton
took second and Delgula third by an
other bit of hard driving. The third

Wednesdays racing was not what
could trutbfully be called exciting in
that straight heats prevailed in two of
the classes and the finishes were not of
the hair raising order. Seven horses
took the word in the first heat of the
2:l1 class with Hugh Mack, an old
Bratlleboro favorite. at the pole. The
Keene horse held the lead until the
last quarter when he was passed by
Aristocrat. On the stretch Lady
Sleigh came up strongly outside and
won by a neck from the Nashua gel
ding. The second heat looked as if it
belonged to Walter II. until he went
in the air on the back stretch. Lady
Sleigh finally won out although hard
pressed by the Aristocrat and Reed

heat was the sensation of the day. AT
the half all 10 starters were punched
and it seemed to be anybody's heat.
On the last turn l'enry n, which was
in the lead was seen TO swerve sudden
ly toward the pole and then came
miX-up in which three drivers were
unseated The accident was caused
by Della Benton's stepping through
one OF the wheels on Henry n s sulky,
and the sight of horses and drivers be-
ing piled in heap caused mighty
cry of horror to arise from the grand
stand. Thomas Blanchard. the driver
of Henry n, was thrown to the ground
as was also George Draper, the owner
and driver of Della Benton, and J. NJ.
Maxim, the driver of Mary Crittenden.
Delgulas sulky was smashed on one
side and she finished with only one
wheel, The Judge finally won the
heat with Redondale second and Della
Benton. driverless, third. Blanchard
was badly cut over both eyes and he
had his nose fractured.
He was taken to the Springfield hos
pital on the afternoon train. Dennie
Sullivan, bystander. who Jumped
from the fence and stopped Mary Crit
tenden was badly scratched but not Sc
riously injured. On account of an un-
avoidable accident none of the horses
were called distanced. After finishing
third without a driver Della Benton
paced around the track and finally went
to her barn.
The accident necessitated a change
of drivers for Henry n, and there was
decided change in the result of the
fourth heat. Della Benton finally won
though closely pressed by Redondale
and Juno both being within a few feet
of the winner. Della Benton also took
the fifth heat. Delgula beating out
Juno for second place with apparent
ease. Della Benton was awarded first
money, Henry \. second and The Judge
third, no fourth money being given.
Only one heat was run Off in the 27
class and the money was awarded ac-
cordingly. 1t was a pretty race betwe
Susie Fox and Ruby, although the fl
mer won.
