 Kelsey to me with the demand that put up $1O0 with the referees so that the racers may be sure of their money before the race begins. The rules of the National Cyclists association say that any one entering race of the assocla- 1 tion shall come to the scratch when called. These gentlemen have refused to do so and shall endeavor to have their names stricken from the list of licensed riders.
 The crowd took the disappointment very good naturedly, also showing their approval of Mir. Fiske's action by viz orous applause"
 The rest of the racing programme for 1 the day went on as usual.
 The sports gave various reasons for the action of the riders, one being that they wished to ride at Valesburg, N. J., to-day, where they have better inducements. And as they couldn't very Fwell ride in both they took that way out of breaking their contract with Ffske. Another theory is that they I really doubted whether they would re- ceive their prizes, but as no former &C., tion on the part of Mir. Fiske would i lead to such a supposition, this theory did not gain ground.
 MT. Fiske will proceed against the racers under the following rule of the NJ c. A: Any racing man. trainer, manager, or any other person who, in at the judgment of the Board of Control, is guilty of blackmailing money from race promoters, or any other action which shall be deemed detrimental to the racing interest of the N. c. A., may be ruled off all tracks and may be pro- hibited from exercising his vocation or appearing on track. Any promoter per- uniting an infringement of this rule may be punished by the withdrawal of permit privileges. and a suspension may be placed on racing men accepting service from attendants under suspi- cion.''
 The fair as whole, judging from the opening promises to be 8 success in spite of this little unpleasantness, The natural beauty of the park is greatly enhanced by the numerous artistic dec- orations. The walk from the gate to the race track has on either sire of it golden Ionic columns supporting streamers of the national colors To the left is an electric tower fashioned after the one in the White City. All the structures, including the club house. grand stand, judges stand, and Ieyn fn1 1.At ilsr the color scheme throughout being red, white and blue
 Most prominent among the exhibits is the woman's industrial department, which, without doubt, does great credit to the fair sex of Branford and vicinity. Among the articles on ex- hibition are laces, doylies, sofa pillows, knit and crochet work, paintings, bread and biscuit, pastry, preserves, jellies and pickles.
 In the poultry tent may be seen more fowls than than the entire Connecticut baseball league made this season. And there are several fine speciments, too.
 In the dog exhibit there is fine ca- nine collection, but an unfathomable mystery is why an alligator should be eXn1blLeQ III TnlS class.
 The last place to butt" into is the goat exhibit. There are nearly a score of the "billies and nannies" in that tent. Under the same roof are also many creditable bovine and equine specfments:
