duration. While the exhibits were
not as varied, nor the number of ex-
hibitorS Is large as was anticipated,
yet the managers feel highly gratified
with the success which has attended
their efforts. The attendance was
large and the revenue derived was
sufficient to clear the association of
the balance of the debt which they
assumed when taking control Of the
affairs of the old association. Being
now free of all Indebtedness, and in a
position to justify the expenditure,
the managers, SO we are informed,
have decided to increase the pre-
miums offered four-fold or more, par
ticularly in the live stock and agricul-
tural departments. These increased
premiums will offer an inducement to
our farmers and Others to enter the
competition for the prizes, and will
add largely to the number of exhibits
and exhibitors. On the whole. the
managers are to be congratulated for
the untiring manner in which they
performed their arduous duties, and
well do they deserve the success which
has crowned their efforts.
The races on the closing day were
full of dash and vim, and resulted as
follows:
First Race, 600 yardS-Denial first,
The Lady second, Lizzie B. third.
Time "a.
Second Race, one mile, trotting or
pacing-Mercury Maid first, Eddy Hal
second, Hal Whitney third; time 2:19.
Third Race, half-mile-FriSco Ben
first, Tonteu second; time SO.
Fourth Race, n mile, novelty,
purse for every Quarter-Denial won
at first quarter; Jean Gravier then
took lead and was never headed, win
ming at the half, three-quarter and
finish; time 1.48.
The time made in the above races
was excellent and speaks well for the
condition of both horses and track.
