our fair continues to grow as it has in the
past few years, must be enlarged. 1t COM
mands an unobstructed view of the entire
track, and is so solidly constructed that it
may be crowded to its utmost capacity with
perfect safety. Two good races were on the
card for the afternoon. In the 2.25 stake
Hazelwood, 216f, was the favorte, but
after putting up game fight in the first
heat Bobby Wilkes beat her through the
stretch. In the following heats Bobby
Wilkes had things all his own way. Frank
s., the favorte in the 2.1s pace, was pressed
hard by Salnus and Graduate. The sum-
mary:
2.25 class, trot and pace, purse $500.

Between the heats the 2-year old colt j ohm
Ward from the stable of Horace Chenery
trotted an exhibition mile in 2324. The
colt is a beauty and went around the track
like veteran racer.
The starter was Guy Murchie of Calais,
and the judges DR.. E. D. Tapley of Belfast,
Capt. G. d. Pendleton of Islesboro and
Stephen j. Gushee of Appleton.
The Belfast Band was il. attendance Sat-
urday afternoon and its fine music was
much enjoyed.
In connection with the races it may be
well to state here, to set at rest much un-
founded gossip, that Mr.. NJ. B. Smith, pro-
prietor of Pearl Brook Farm, has since the
fair called upon Secretary Ellis to express
his appreciation Of what the managers
had done, and in token thereof he wished
them to accept his share of the purses, feel
ing that they must have been losers by the
unavoidable pOStpOnementS. When Mr..
Ellis demurred at this, MIR. Smith said that
he had had the use of the track and sheds
all summer and felt under obligations there
for. MIR. Smiths attitude is of co6rse very
pleasing to the managers and will be
heartily approved by the public generally
The management of the Waldo County
Agricultural Society wish to extend their
heartfelt thanks: First, to the people of
Waldo county for their hearty support and
liberal patronage; second, to the business
men of Belfast for SO unanimously closing
their places of business Friday afternoon,
thus giving the society what was almost d
life-saving benefit. A continuance of this
encouragement and support will undoubt-
edly make oul fair a credit to the county
and the State, and the interest manifested
this Year shows that the public appreciate
the vast amount of labor and the many de-
tails involved in making such an institu-
ton success. Only those closely aSSoci-
ated with him can appreciate the untiring
labors of Secretary Etlis, iii which he had
the earnest support of Mrs. ElliS-labors
that were made the heavier ana more vexa-
u0uS by the necessary postp0neBlentS, and
particularly in pulling off the races, with
horses dra wing out or going away.
At meeting of the trustees of the Waldo
County Agricultural Society Monday even
ing w. A Mason was elected assistant
