of the annual convention of the YER
mont State Teachers Association 10
be held in the State house at Mont
pelier beginning Oct. 18th, it is noted

Saturdays papers were scanned
anxiously to note the outcome OF tne
race at Detroit, Mich. Friday, in when
Frank Lang of this place was to race
Ecstatic in the 2.06 class. From the
reports in several different papers 1t
is impossible to draw conclusion as
to the exact condition the favorlte
was in. In the pools it seems that
Ecstatic was the general favorite,s sell
ing at 100. The following is taken
from New York paper which sums
the matter up: "Ecstatic, y a hot favor
ite in the 2.O6 pace, finished sixth ana
fifth respectively in the two heats.
After the first heat the judges decided
that the favorite had not been driven
out and declared all debts off. The
race was called at end of the second
heat on account of rain.
