TROTTERS OF CLASS WILL RACE AT FAIR The general consensus of opinion of the horsemen of this secfion is that the all the | u; nto ese there are zoing to be some races at the County ir this year that will give everybody something to talk about for some time after the falr-is over. Never before has there heen so many good horses entéred for the rac- ing and the horses are mainly horses with a record so that it will take some battling before the division of the purses_is decided. At Hills Grove op Aug. 14th, Plucky Chap won the 2.18 trot; six heats be- ing necessary to decide the race and the fifth heat being a dead heat, Plucky Chap won the third, fourth and sixth heat and the race. This horse was piloted to victory by Wm. Cro- zier and he has won eleven races on the Bay State Circuit with a total winning of purses amounting to $6,- 200. Peter Pan won third in the same race and Evan Williams, driven by O'Brien, won_fourth. On Aug. 16th, ved in the 2.21 TFdt at the same _track, has .

While the racing has been attrac- | tive always at the fair it is undoubt- | edly the increased purses from $500 t0°$1,000 that has drawn such an ar- ray of talent to the fair.
