 Interesting Track Events.
 The closing feature of the fair was the horse racing, starting early in the afternoon. Considering that the track at Woodstock is only third of a mile, to the circuit the showing made by the fine string of horses entered was very good. There has been some talk this year that by the time for holding the next fair a new haIf-miIe track would be built at Woodstock, but this was denied Wednesday by fair off cia1s, who declared that the changes necessary for building a larger track would be of a prohibitive nature. and furthermore, that the society does not make a speciality of horse racing to attract patrons, but of other things that have always proved entirely satis factory.

 Thrown from Carriage. ] A second accident at the fair grounds Tuesday night was one in which John Spencer of Pomfret and his sister, Emma, were thrown from the carriage in which they were riding as their horse was being driven out the main entrance. where there was a blockade. An automobile stopped suddenly in front of the spirited Spen- cer horse The animal reared and then as his opportunity came, plunged ahead pulling Spencer out of the carriage and causing his sister to fall out Spencer's leg was so badly injured that he has since been removed to the Day kimball hospital.
