THE RACES AT CAMDEN.


driving park opened Tuesday afternoon,
Aug. 22d with fair first day attend
ance. The card included two trottlng
events, each of which furnished split
heats and surprise for the spectators.
In the 235 class first money looked
good for Brownett, owned by j. ii.
Goddard of Lewiston, but the mare
went bad in the third heat and was dis
tanced. The prize was then a clnch
for Prince Ohio, owned by Willlston
Grinnell of Camden, originally Bos-
ton horse. Helen Gould, owned by w.
F. Webb of Augusta, captured the first
heat in the 2.26 class, but after that 1t
was contest between Elmont, owned
by H. NJ. Bean of Camden, and Kate L.,
owned by George Redman of ROckland,
the former winning. A wagon race,
with four starters, afforded consider
able amusement 1t resulted in dead
heat, and a division of the purse be-
tween George w. Achorn and DIR. w.
F. Bisbee. The summary:

The feature of the second days card,
Aug. 23d, was the warmly contested
race in the 2.15 class, two heats of
which were faster than the track rec
ord. This feat was performed in both
instances by DR.. W. F. Bisbee's Decima
Deane, whose best time was 2.15 IL.
The previous record was 2.17 IA, held
| Jointly by Bessie Be Sure, Boccaro and
Nominee Prince. In the last heat of
this race the entire field went over the
course in bunch, and it was not until
the three-quarter pole had been passed
that the heat winner could be picked.
First money in the 223 class also went
to a Camden horse, Kassali, owned by
H. M. Bean. r. L. Beams 15-months,
Old Charles N. Van Trump trotted an
exhibition mile, one-eighth being at a
226 clip. The hose team from the At
lantic engine company made an exhi-
bition run of 900 feet in AZ las. The
ug-of-war between crews from the
Rockland and Camden shipyards was
won by the latter. The officials in
charge of the race meet were Frank c.

The third days events were not des-
tined to take place, for number of
reasons, chief among which was the
fact that the PIC class could not be fill
ed. The weather in the morning did
not look very promising, and with the
comparatively small attendance of the
previous days in view, the manage
