district. The wonderful enthusiast
and eagerness TO work for the elec-
Ion of John A. Peters of Ellsworth,
which was displayed by the Kennebec
committeeman, last Thursday, clinch-
ed the matter.
Since that meeting the men in
charge of Mr. Peters campaign have
been receiving assurances of Demo-
cratic and Third Party support from
all quarters. Those who did not want
TO throw away their votes, and had
been misled by the extravagant claims
of the Third party leaders, were I'M

county meeting revealed the real
strength of the Republican party in
the county that the Third party had
been claiming as it's stronghold and
convinced the protectionists that Mr..
Peters would win.

Peters, Friday, and demonstrated to
him that he has nothing to fear there.

produce, was not over stated in the

Detroit. Aug. 11.-Racing atthe open

tame. The only real contest was in the

Dewey the 2.15 trot, all in straight
heats. ~
Dillon Axworthy was by far the best
among the 10 starters in the Matron
trotting section. In the first heat, Ser
rilI held the colt back in the field until
the far turn was reached, and then
easily took the lead from lima Jay. At
the finish he was a couple of lengths

Johnson had fine brush down the
stretch for second place. going under

heat the Axworthy colt was never

positions after the word was given. It
took Margot Hal some time to get
going in the Board of Commerce stake,
but when she finally found her stride,
she made show of her opponents. Del
Rey, making his first start since the
Buffalo meet, made a fine bid in the
first heat of this event. He led to the
half, lost his position to Holly Brand
at the far turn, forced the Tidal Wave
