Saddle Horses at the Fair

There is an unusual interest hn
horseback riding and running races
throughout New England and prob
ably throughout the country. The
big fairs have arranged purses for
running races and Kentucky and Can
adam horses have already been book
ed. The Somerset Central Agricul-
tural Society will attempt to put in
races of this kind at its fair Sept.
&c. 81 and %.
Nothing will ever displace the
trotting races which have been so
popular throughout the north for 100
years, but in Kentucky and the South
horses under saddle have been the
fayorite for speed trial. Those who
have seen running races will remem-
Der that there are no waits or no
scoring. The horses come up to a
line and start from a standstill. They
know the game, and are just as anx-
ious to be close to the line and be
off promptly at the word as are their
riders. 1t is a very exciting sport,
and its addition to the usual racing
program is very much to be desired.

Arthut Totman of Fairfield ac-
knowledged it was 81 years ago he
entered the Eaton School and that he
was not ashamed of it either
Lyman, Walton of Skowhegan
thought it did US all good to attend
these reunions and emphasized the
fact that it was not so much the les
sons we learned at school as it was
what we stood for after leaving
school, that it was the duty OF every
Eaton scholar to be true to himself
and to the association.
Frank Wood. of Groyeton, \. H.,
said it was the first reunion he had
ever attended but he hoped it was not
the last He spoke of attending
school on the other side of the Ken
nebcc before the present building was
built.
Carrie lIutchins Of Fairfield dated
her love for the old school back "a
years and she believed the Eaton
School influence would never die, for
Inc DIIHClpltS lIlSlliltu lulO our
minds were sure to be passed on from
one generation to another. and in that
way the old enthusiasm would always
be kept alive.

read very appropriate poem en-
titled around the Corner and Mrs.
Florence Waugh Danforth urged the
Association to do something in the
way Of progress such as giving some
strong support to the Norridgewocll
schools of the present day.
Clarence Weston read letter from
Mr.. Eaton in which he spoke of his
strong attachment to his old Nor
rdigewock pupils and expressed a
great desire TO come once more to the
old familiar scenes of his early man
hood.
Mrs. Henrietta Wood former
teacher in the Eaton School, was
called upon but on account of the
lateness of the hour, spoke only of
her great pleasure in being able to
be there.
Several beloved pupils, unable to be
present, wrote expressing their re
greet, among them Mr.. Wellington
Kidder, of New York City.
The absent ones were not forgotten,
and those who were able to answer to
the roll call agreed to begin in season
next year to do their part in helping
bring the negligent ones back to the
NorridgcWock fold.
Meeting adjourned to meet next
year the first Wednesday in August at
the old Eaton School Building in Nor
