days, when the excursion rates would be given and special crains run on the various railroads.THE AUTOMOBILE PARADE.For some reason or other, the parade of automobiles this year was not as large as last year, and the machines were not as gaily decorated.This was partly due to the fact that many evidently did not consider that the silver cup oifered by Birks of Montreal was for the best decorated machine.Nearly thirty cars took part in the parade.The judges were Messrs.Gilmore, Merric and Thrasher.After circling the track once or twice the cars were lined up in front of the Grand Stand.The prize for the best decorated car was given to Dr.W.Lambly, of Cookshire.The prize for the \u201chorribles\u2019\u2019 was won and merited by Mr.Eddie Harmer, who drove one o{ Mr.A.T.Drew\u2019s cars.The ''hayseed\u2019\u2019 get up of this car was one of the features of the parade.THE RACES WWRE GOOD.The races were exceptionally good, each heat being-closely contested.The feature of the afternoon was the come I back act.performed by Dick Thornell, ' driven by E.C.Squires.Monday this horse was distanced in the first : heat of the named race.Yesterday he came back and won the Named Race with comparative ease.Jimmy T.furnished the lirst excitement.of the afternoon.While scoring for the first heat of the 2.40 pace, 2.35 trot, this horse dumped Driver Langlois and ran away.An effort was made to stop him as he passed the stand first, but it was unsuccessful.Starter Pike called to those on the track to let him go, and go he did.The remaining horses were taken from the track and the driverless animal came tearing by the stand for the second time.Finally the horse found that he was not being urged, and slackened up.He was finally caught after having gone three-quarters of a mile.He finished third in the first heat, in spite of his impromptu workout.I With the exception of Jimmy T.'s performance this race passed off without feature.Hard Scrabble had the raci! well in hand and was well hand led by Lee.For the first two heats Reno, winner of the 3 minute race Monday, followed closely.The third heat found Bessie B.in second position.Petruchio acted rather badly all afternoon.He appeared to have an abundance of speed, but broke repeatedly.SPILL IN THE SECOND RACE.In the second beat oi the named race Diamond B.broke a hobble in front of the stand on the first lap.His driver began to pull him in.La-bonte, who drove Sauve, was following some distance behind.He did not, turn out in time, although he had plenty of opportunity, and the sulkies collided.Lahonte was thrown out, but no damage resulted.The judges saw the accident, and although they did not consider that Labonte\u2019s act was intentional, were forced to distance him.By mutual consent in the named race, distance was waived by the drivers.Dick Thornell had an easy time in (Contipuefl on page 6.) e- g|ii i ¦wht \\ .'.A PORTION OF THE CATTLE EXHIBIT AT SHERBROOKE FAIR.nun: miches imitas
