AT THE COIIATY FAIL

The Sttn Dried the Track and Many Saw the Races.

IT WAS A RED LETTER DAT FOR

THIS POPULAR SHOW.

iLong Jjigv oi Premiums Awarded—Some Beautiful Exhibits in the Art Depart- ment—The Pulling Oxen—Today’s At- tractions.

Yesterday was a perfect “fair” day at

Gorham, and early in the day the crowds began to pour into the grounds. The buoyancy of feeling caused by the re-

newal of good weather after the depres- sing rain of yesterday, was very encour-

aging to everybody. One feature in the exhibition building

that should not be overlooked is the art room, under the charge of Mies Johnson and Mrs. Wilson, in the third story. In here can be found a choice collection in oil and on china. Two oil paintings of winter scenes, executed by a ten-year- old laa, Seth Soule of Gorham, are considered phenomenal. There is a

beautiful panel painting, in oil, of tulips by Mrs. Hunt of Gray, and the two col- lections of china painting owned by Mrs. Wilson of Gorham and Mrs. Holland of Portland, especially the exquisitely tint- ed Beleek china cup and saucer belong- ing to the former, are a feast to look up- on. The following exhibits were added yesterday:

Four jars fruit and flour bread, Alice Doug- lass ; 1 splasher, Miss Hattie Cressey; flour bread, Helen Newcomb; jelly, Mrs. A. K. P. Libby; peaches, Mrs. Julia Cressey; exhibition of handwriting, Mrs. Marlon Newcome; 1 knit rug, Hattie M. Chaffin; 1 rag carpet, Mrs. Ezra

The Races.

The track was in fine condition in the afternoon, quite speedy, and evidently much improved by the rain. The grand stand was filled to overflowing, and

about 5000 people were on other parts of the ground. The Standish band fur-

nished music between heats. The judges were Isaiah Pompilly of Auburn, W. A. Whittier of Old Orchard and Edward Cobb of Portland.

The 2.28 class was the first to be called in the afternoon, and it proved to be very exciting. Of the seven entries five appeared and drew positions as follows: Black Nathan, Bird, Dan Berry, Cunard Jr. and Fannie W. After scoring eight times, they got the word. On the half, Dan Berry had the lead, with Bird and Fannie W. close behind. On the back Stretch Bird forged up and came down the home stretch, flying under the wire half a length ahead of Fannie W. Dan Berry finished third, Black Nathan fourth, and Cunard, Jr. fifth. Time, 2.27*.

In the second heat it took five scores to get away and the order was. Fannie tW., Black Nathan and Cunard, Jr., to the half, where Fox pushed his horse by Fannie W., but on tlie last turn he broke and lost his place, The finish was made with Fannie W. ahead, Dan Berry and Baird close behind, and after them Black NathSn and Cunard, Jr. Cunard was up four times and Berry twice. Fannie IV. lowered her record iu this heat from 2.28* to 2.26*.

The horses were prettily bunched | when they got the word in the third heat

and they went around in close procession. The order at the half was Fannie YV.,lJan Berry, Cunard, Jr.. Bird and Blank Na- than. The finish was the same as in the previous heat. Time, 2.26,

Six scorings got the horses off in the next heat with Cunard, Jr., withdrawn. Dan Berry took Die pole with Bird see-

[ ond, and they went hv the stand with Berry in the lead, Fannie W. second, Black Nathan third aud Bird fourth. Nathan went up on the hack stretch, hut did not lose his lead. All came home in a hunch, with not a half a length between them, Bird, second, Dan iieiry, third,and Fannie, YYr. fourth. Ira Woodbury had replaced Hr. Bussell as the driver of Black Dan and he drove a pretty heat. Time, 2.28}.

In the fifth heat, Blaek Nathan lead, with Dan Berry close behind. The finish was made as in the heat before ex-

cept that Berry and Bird changed places. The sixth heat was close and exciting.

Blaek Nathan, Bird and; Fannie W. were all to themselves as Dan Berry who had not taken a heat was put out. The horses were well bunched and m&de a

pretty procession with close ranks which lengthened out on the back stretch but closed up again on the home stretch and came in all three together with Black Nathan leading by half a length. Not a break had. been made and it was as

pretty a race as one wants to sec any- where. Time. 2.30}. Black Nathan won first money, Fannie W. second. Bird third and Dan Berry fourth. The sum-

mary : 2.28 class—muss $250.

gleamland second, Zoe third, Dandy B. fourth and Topsy A. fifth.

They got away on three scorings and immediately strung out, and they went by the stand with Gerty B. considerably nbnnd TY rtnrlir TJ numb navf Onrl tllO

other three horses were bunched. The finish was made in the same order.

Dandy B. got in two skips, Gerty B. three, Westgleamland one and Zoe two. Time 2.35£.

The second heat in the first half was a

struggle between Gerty B. and Dandy B., both horses going into the air on the turn, but the finish was like the first heat, as Gerty B. was altogether too fast for the others. Time 2.34$.

Two heats out of three took this race and so Gerty B. got first money, Dandy B. second, third and fourth money going to Westgleamland and Zoe. The sum-

mary: THREE-YEAR-OLDS—*100.

The two-year-old was the next race on

the card, and of the seven entries four

horses appeared and drew the following positions: Little Pete first, Carroll sec-

ond, Ermine third and Daisy Knox fourth. Ira Woodbury, who drove Daisy Knox, took the pole at the first turn and at the half he was just one-half a head in the lead of Ermine. On the back stretch Ermine came up again and finished one-

half a neck ahead of Daisy Knox, Car- roll third and Little Pete fourth. Daisy Knox made the only break of the heat. Time 2.54|.

In the second heat there was another fight between Ermine and Daisy Knox, and it was won by the latter. The other two horses would have been distanced if the flag had been used. Time 2.51|.

sion, as the horses came in the same order and Daisy Knox got first money, Ermine second, Carroll third and Little Pete fourth.

In the 2.2S class Black Nathan was the

only horse without a bicycle sulky; in the three-year-old Topsy A. was alone with the ordinary sulky; in the two-year- old Little Pete and Carroll hauled the high wheels, while the others had the bi-

cycle sulkies. Mr. J. F. Barrett of Deering exhibited

a fine string of horses. Among them, Westland, 2.29L Colonel West, Kaleen, a fine three-year-old filly, Lew Westland, a brown yearling, Lucille, one-year-old bay filly, Fedora, Delder, Karenina, Ivy Maud and Ermine.

Between the races Mr. Steward drove his horse General Mack, by Glenarm, an exhibition half mile in 1.18*.

Mr. L. P. Hawkins had his fine three- vear-old stallion Ocean Wilkes, by Bour- bon, on exhibition. Miss Wilkes, his dam, lias a record of 2.29*.

The yearling colt Lucille was started to beat 1.45 for a half mile with a bicycle sulky. The time made was 1.37.

The yearling Lou Weston was sent around half a mile to beat 1.40, and made it in 1.38*.

Next Saturday Yon Helmont, by Har- binger, and Silver Street, by Nelson, will trot in the 2.25 class.

Jack Spratt, the famous trotter bred by Simon Black of Buxton, will also trot an exhibition mile to beat his record of 2.22*. _^_ A Famous Trio In Court.

Boston, Mass., September 15.—At 12 o’clock today Messrs. Potter, French and Dana, the famous Maverick Bank trio, made their appearance again in the United States Circuit Court to answer to the four fresh indictments found against them by the United States grand jury. Two of the indictments were against Mr, Potter and one each against Messrs. French and Dana. Today had been fixed for the arraignment of the prisoners.

Their cases were each called, but the counsel for each stated that they had filed demurers, so that the defendants did not plead. The demurrers took the

ground that the new indictments were

not sufficient in law. Judge Putnam fixed October 12 and 13

as the”dates for the hearing on the demurrers, The government will be al- lowed one day and the defendants the other.

learn attempted suicide by shooting himself with a pistol, the ball taking effect in the left breast. At last ac-

count he was in a very critical condition. Mr. Robert Milliken, quite an aged

man, of Freedom, N. H., died from a
