 There was only one harness event in the racing at the fair yesterday, and one running race. The latter was between Gold Star, Cherry Prince and Lament, they finishing the three quarter of a mile dash in the order named. Gold Star was held well in until the upper bend was reached when his jockey gave him the rein and he left the other two horses with ease.
 Harness Event. The harness event resulted in the best , time yet seen in a race at this meet. It was the 211 pace, and it was not com pleted, owing to darkness. Two horses have each two heats to their credit. and the deciding heat will be paced this after noon at o'clock.
 The judges were forced to take three of the drivers out of the sulkeys, belev- ing that they were not driving their horses to win and that the race was fixed. In the first two heats Stratmeath owned by William Moughon, and driven by Cap tain Mourson. won easily This aroused the judges suspicion. as Barney l.. was considered faster horse. A rumor reach ed the ear of the judges that the race { was fixed for Strathmeath to win, and they warned the drivers of the other three horses after the first heat that they must drive to win. The second heat went the same way as the first, and Driver Brften- field was taken from behind Barney l.: Driver Reeves from Gold Call and Driver Brewer from Eddie Hal The change re- suited in Barney L. going out and taking the next two heats with ease. In the places of the drivers removed the judges put Deevell behind Barney L., Traynor behind Gold Call and Wilson behind Ed die Hal.
 In the third heat Captain Mourson claimed that Driver Deevel fouled him twice and demanded the heat of the judges.
 The judges considered the demand but refused to allow a foul, claiming they did not see it and taking the statement of Driver Deevel that he had the faster horse and easily passed Strathmeath. The fourth heat proved that Barney l.. was the faster horse.
 The results of the heats were:
