 Poughkeepsie, N. r., Aug. 17.-The fifth and last day of the Grand Circuit meeting here was characterized by more close finishes than on any previous day of the meeting, especially in the 2:17 trot and 2:10 pace.
 With nine starters in the 2:17 trot the talent made no decided choice in the betting.
 Believing that the drivers of India and Totera had not tried to win the second heat of this race, the judges fined Eldridge and liter $1OO each and put Geers in to drive India in place of Eldridge.
 Rudy Kip, having won the 2:11 pace Tuesday, was favorite in the 2:10 pace to-day at $100 to $40. He won the race in straight heats, but Argot Boy gave him a hard finish each time. The sum- maries:

sale Of liquor without license. She is q
Polish woman, and keeps a boarding
house. charging her patrons 81 per week,
which includes either drink of whiskey
or glass of beer at one meal each day
On one occasion she had some relatives
visit her from Philadelphia, among them
being her husband, with whom she is moi
on the best terms. Because of this fact
she charged him so cents for half pint Of
liquor, not making the others pay for any
thing they drank on the premises. Tt
this one case of selling the defendant
pleaded guilty, which plea the court
would not accept. Later she PLEADED
guilty to all the indictments, and the
court imposed fine of $3.50 without cost
on only one of them, the others to be helt
against her. This punishment was i'm
posed to deter other foreigners living a
East Burlington from violating the liquol
laws. The husband of Mrs. Berkhouser
