wind that prevailed.
The races on the card were the 2 40
and 220 classes, the first having -four
starters and the latter only three. Ii
WAS easily seen that the little mare
Crown Duchess had an easy victory in
the 2 40 class which left that race devoid
OF interest, but after the first heat of the
2.20 class In which Raven Wilkes and
Netty w. made game race from wire,
much that was exciting was hoped for,
but the other heats saw the black horse
win out handily In pretty manner.
The unfinished 2 20 class only required
one heat to close it up as Snip d, had
two heats to his credit and won the final.
Much dissatisfaction WAS expressed by
the crowd in the way Starter Chase
started the field awsy In this heat, the
fayorite, Miss Archer, being three
lengths back and just ready to break.
Ii WAS dead wrong, and her owner had
the best of grounds for being highly In
dignant.

The foot ball game between the
Coburn Classical Institute team of Water
vile and the Skowhegan High school
was quite 4 one-sded affair, the home
boys being out-elassed in weight, skill
and courage. The result was 16 to O..
The ball game between the Great
Northerns of Madison and team com.
posed principally of shoe cutters at the
local factory was pretty exhibition up
to the seventh ming, when the locals
went to pieces, and afterwards were not
able to recover their lead. The result
was Madison 8, Skowhegan 5.
Even the sham battle by Co. E. did not
arouse the enthusiasm expected 1t
occurred on the skirmlsh line near the
fence at the back of the grounds. The
firing was distinctly heard by the crowd
but otherwise it was devoid of interest.
