able TO walk about with the aid of cane.
Unto each life some rain must fair IS
very true saving and it has been fully verlfed
in the last ten days. We have had rather 100
much rain and it has proven q setback 70 tne
farmers with their seeding. The ram OF last
Monday amounted almost to deluge ana the
county roads show the effects OF 1t IN many
places.
A large crowd of people turned out last Sat

Benson and DR.. Thomas Il. Emory, timers,
and Charles M. Pearce, marshal;
The track was in good condition and the
racing was interesting until about . O'CLOCK,
when two heavy showers came and stopped
the sport as the track was too muddy ana
heavy for it to be continued.

A ludicrous feature of the day was the mule

to nature, in which mule prefers galloping

than trotting race
1t required the three heats to decide the

entrance fees.
In the steeplechase there were four starters,

bee) second. South Breeze (MitchelD third and

The officers of the association gave the affair
their personal attention and the best of order
prevailed throughout.
A number of persons were present from Bel
air and many fine teams were noticed. One
automobile crept quietly into the grounds and
the driver understood his business so well that
he did not frighten single horse. If other
chauffeurs would follow the example of this
one there would not be SO many complaints
from drivers of horses. M.
