was sick and he made no farther effort No one believed that anything ailed him They started together again and lora went around in 2 :23 Ethan coining in leisurely The result was a disappointment but it was I all that coold be done The track was In a con I dition that no horse could do his best upon sand 1 and dust plowing op at every step and consider able wind blowing I think Ethan was really in

and At bott streets Eloquent speakers win bo in attend ance and a general aaemblago et the democracy Is expected rom Our Own Reporter Sept 15 The last day of tbe Hone air was distinguish ed by one of the most disagreeable tics possible to imagine The previous dry weather together with the assiduous efforts of some two horses and drivers had re duced the track to a state of pulverization which would be difficult to beat If anybody wu disposed to undertake the Job and on riday "when the stormy winds did there wu a delightful time of IL Such a heaving up of earthly ingre dients such a conglomerated mix of atmospher ic dirt such an insinuating prevalence of mun dane particles never wu People breathed dust from morning tni night varying the performance by despairing looks at their good clothes and resigned themulvu to tho in fliction Not the least annoying feature of tills condition of affairs wu the apprehension that the track would be in such a state to day that lora Temple and Ethan Allen would fail to make such time hu been expected of them A body of men wu set to work laat evening how ever who labored all night with scrapers and sprinkling wagons and hae it is thought got the track into admirable condition It wu expected that the trotting yesterday would be nearly equai in interest to that of to day but unforeseen occurrences rendered it other wise The arrangement wu for a trot between Magna Charts and one or two other fut horses who have been lying in wait for him One of these a Vermont horse called Mor rill Boy one half of whom is owned by Mr Holcomb the owner of Ethan Allen is a prime animal full of speed and endurance and capable oi giving Magna Charta a hard pulL The owners of the latter horse deposited $1000 the As sociation in addition to the regular $1000' pre mium an inside stake and had he not met with an accident would haVe had him here to contend for the prize which if the conditions of their proposition had been carried out have been the handsome sum of that is a regular premium of $1000 and an inside stake of 5)1000 from three competing horses He split his hoof while training on the Coldwater track and is laid up for several weeks to come so that tha whole arrangement wu upset The horses that trotted against Morrill Boy were unable to com pete with him and he was consequently urged very Hille so that the time wu not by any means what was expected I see by the way that some body 4ho does the Associated reporting promised race which should exceed known stallion time a fact which either shows a great want of knowledge of tbe capacities of the horses or a desire to misrepresent The best time that wu made wu 2:39 which is made every day in the year and very little thought ot The compe ting horses were the Vermont horse Morrill Boy the Chicago horse Black Bird a Waukegan hone Black Weaul and the Rochester horse Old St Lawrence They got a fair start tbe Weaul taking the inside and Morrill Boy getting tbe lead on the first quarter a position which he kept easily through the heat He came in in 2:39 Black Weuel second and St Lawrence third The winning horse had nothing to nrge him and might have made several seconds better The second hut wu identical with the first except that Black Weasel broke badly and lost several rods on the back stretch He rallied on the home stretch and doting a gap of ten roda or more passed St Lawrence euily and came in second St Lawrence usual ran a large por tion of the way and killed himself by the effort He died before the next morning It is well enough here to say a few words about thia horse He hu been In his time a good trotter although his build is anything but that oi a trotting hone and is marked in the racing record low as 2:36 He is now twenty two years old and hu been in tbe charge of Mr Axtell of this place for some time a stock horse With a view to keep up hia reputa tion as a fast horse hie age was pat at fourteen and various absurd statements have been in con stant circulation about hia trotting feats Rea sonable people would think that a horse twenty two years old might be allowed to rest on his laurels but such has net been tbe fate of Old St Lawrence He hu bun paraded at several fairs a fast trotter and hu been put through his paces with an assurance that left nothing for surmise I saw him trot at Jackson when the time wu announced from the stand as 2:36 His teal time wu some where about 2 :42 perhaps several seconds higher but nothing lower I uw him trot at Coldwater where he wu run around the track In an unmerciful man ner to keep up with Magna Charts and when hia time was heralded (by his owners) a 2:35" Hia real time wu nothing for he did not trot and running is not usually timed on trotting tracks Lastly I saw him go yesterday when he wu run through a large portion of both heats and whip ped down the homo stretch on the last heat com ing in in about 2:48 This for a horse twenty two years old may be called uvere The old atalllon hu done good service in his day hu been faith fai and honest through a lifetime yet in his old age must bo driven to death to gratify dutiable cupidity It is snob acta these displaying the wont qualities of human nature that bring hone matten into disrepute and cut a stigma npon all honorable and humane men who engage in them He fell down in the traces after the third pre imium ribbon had been tied to his headstall and died in the midst of intense suffering during the night A noble animal is gone and it is nuleu to lament his loss but every sentiment of humanity rebels at the method of hia taking off and con demns the cold nncharitableneu which drove him to his death He wu valued at $2506) and wu owned by Bnlkley Carr of Rochester Hew York In the trial of speed between roadsters in double harness a Detroit team owned by Whitney wu entered against a Jackson team owned by 0 De Yoe The former was driven by White and won two straight two mlle heate in and :23

Chandler who an nounced that the Governor would be escorted up to and would speak from "in bal Some of ua laughed irreverently at the vanity of the august Senator and 1 have no doubt that the Governor indulged in an internal chuckle but he was too polite and good natured to gainsay the will of one who was to be his hosh and so he raftered himself to be paraded through the city in an open carriage
