THE RACES.

THE RACES.
The races were a great disap-
pointment. This was due to the
fact that many os the best horses
that had been entered were unable
to get here owing to the damage to
railroads by the big storm of the
previous week. The finishes in
some of the races were close, but
the absence Of so many Of the good
horses cut down the starters, and
the first heat determined the race.
In the ,:2I pace on Thursday,
the driver of Amblem was thrown
from his sulky just after the race
started and was severely cut and
bruised abont the face. The horse,
dragging the sulky ran twice
around the track and leaped over
the fence at the three-quarter pole,
but was uuinjured.

The attendance was the largest
in the history of the society. The
exact number, of course, is not
known but is estimated that at least
IS 900 people were on the ground
on Thursday and Fridays crowd
was even larger.
{. The trolley road did rushing
business. They collected about
IS 900 fares during the last two
days. In spite of this heavy traffic
they handled the people remarka-
bly, we'll, and not single accident
occurred.
The music was first class. The
Catawissa Band was present on
Wednesday and Alexander's Ninth
Regiment Band of Wilkes Barre
