The fall meeting of the Manor Glen Racing
Association was excellently conducted and
the racing was good. The steeplechase and
fiat races were especially fine.
The Foxhound Derby was won by Mac"
owned by Mr.. Walter Hutchins. The prize
was handsome sterling silver cup, donated by
Mr.. Redmond G. Stewart, and $40 by the
Manor Glen Association.
The fiat race-a mile dash-was won by
Dolly Blue. She lowered the track record,
the time in the last half mile being 81 seconds.
She was ridden by bob" Leach, who made
riding in three winning races, in two of which
be won first money, and one second place, be-
sides lowering the track record.
Many of our people went to the farmers
picnic at Mt. Carmel and enjoyed the outing
very much. Farmers and their families need
the social intercourse of such affairs.
A serious accident occurred at Monkton on
Wednesday afternoon, when an express train
struck and killed two horses attached to Mr..
James M. Shepherds butcher wagon. Mr..
Shepperd and one of his children were sitting
in the wagon which he had made an effort to
back off the track, when someone shouted that
the express was coming. 1t was fortunate
that he got the wagon off far enough to save
his and his little sons life. The wagon was
loaded with blacksmith iron for Mr.. Harry
Harris, who runs the Monkton shop, and it is
thought that the rafting of the iron prevented
Monkton is dangerous crossing and should
have either gates or fagman.
The N. G. R. R. has become so impoverished
that it has had to take off about 20 different
trains in the last week, which necessitated
change in schedule making the trains run at
different hours.
