Pittsfield. Me-, June 25.-(SpeciaD.-
Saturdays races at Union Trotting
park were highly successful as on the
previous day and a very large crowd
assembled not only from Pittsfield but
from all the surrounding towns. The
weather was perfect, the track in as
good condition as could be wished for,
and every one was good natured as on
ly a crowd who have laid aside all cares
and are out for an afternoon of pleas
ure can be-,
The midway had attractions for the
small boy and it was noticed that sew
eral of more advanced age fingered in
that vicinity. There was lots of pink
lemonade and California triple jointed
peanuts and Uncle Treat, the clam
man. was on hand. \ midway wouldn't
he complete without Mr.. Treat. A gen.
tleman from over StetsOn way had on
exhibition under tent what he claim
ed to be the largest pair Of oxen in the
world. Every one admitted that they
were the largest ones that they had
even seen and this exhibit did a thriv.
ing business.
At 1.3O p. NJ, Starter Dorrity got ac-
tive and soon had the races in progress.
In the 2.15 class five starters came out.
They were Percy GilnIan's Dyspepsia.
Cure; Goddard's Gold1inder Boy,
Hume's Deacon; Hume's Strathbelle;
Ryder's Faith M.
Dyspepsia Cure was easily queen OF
the bunch" For second place Goldfind-
er Boy and Deacon had a lively COM
petition the former winning out.
Strathbelle was awarded fourth place.
In the 2.a7 class there were six start
ers: CoOrs Robert Y: Chase's Frank G;
Goddard's DR.. Clay; Ryder's Snip ID:
Fishers DIR. Jeff; Reynolds Travor. 1t
took four heats to win this race but it
was finally captured by Bill Coor 3
black stallion. 1t was stated that Sat-
urday was the first time that this
horse had been on the track this year
and had had no training at all for the
race. Considering this Fact 1t seems
probable that with the proper handling
the horse might do some fast work on
the track. The driver was Percy Gil
man of Waterville.
Fishers DR.. jeff evidently had an off
day and in the second heat ran around
the entire course, and was declared dis
tanced. Chase's Frank &, the winner of
Fridays 3-minute race took second
money in this race. Snip d was third
and DR. Clay fourth. Travor was drawn
after three heats.
chester Cook gave an exhibition milo
with the four-year-oli stallion Dobson.
with n record of 219 This horse is
owned by J. r. Mills, Portland.
During the afternoon Il little excite
ment was caused by the grand stand
catching fire presumably from a cigar
butt or match carelessly dropped. No
damage resulted, just smoke enough
being PRODUCED to keep of the Peltoma
mosqultCs for a few moments. The OIL
cials were the same as FRIDAY.
Colonel Morrill, stated TO the Journal
man thai ne should have another two
days race here in August, the dates
being Friday and Saturday, the Is and
10Th. This is good news to the horse
men anG others interested as there has
been some question as to whether there
would be another meet here this year.
