Which is the faster horse, Donny- brook or County Beater?’ Since the first sleighing of the year, when the speedy Worses in this vicinity were giv- en a number of thrilling brushes on the speedway on lower Main street, the question has been mooted. Donnybrook, a newcomer to the city but a horse with a fine pedigree and related to some of the best that ever turned a corner, is owned by L. N. Dondero. County Beater., who first came into prominence on the track in Norwich some vears ago, is owned by John Curran. Each owner contends he has the better horse and it has come to such a pass that a race has been arranged. Saturday evening the owners of the horses and a following of some twenty. five sporting men of the city went to Attorney Thomas J. Kelley’s office and arranged the preliminaries. A forfeit of $50 was posted by each owner, the balance of a purse of $300 to be post- ed on or before July 3. The race is scheduled for July 4 at 2 o'clock p. m,, at the Horseshoe park track in this city, Each owner is to choose a judge, the ‘two judges to choose a third, and the judges are to select a starter. The timérs are to be chosen in the same manner. The entire gate receipts, over and above the actual expenses, are to be turned over to St. Joseph's hospital. Attorney Thomas J, Kelley was made stakeholder and also put in charge of the financia] part of the affair, in so far as looking after the purse, gate recelipts, e No race ever projected in this vicinity has created such excite- ment and interest. Should the Fourth be a rainy day the race will take place on the next suitable day FUNERAL. Mrs, Hannah T. Snow. The funeral of Mrs. Hannah T, Snow was held from her home on Church street Saturday afternoon at 1.30 o'clock, Rev. Willlam S. Beard, pastor of the First Congregational church, of- ficiating.
