The 2:18 class race was won by Bel~ den Boy, owned by David Jeuks, of NorWalk. time lzitit. The 2:40 class was won by R. louden's brown mare Kitty Williams, the best time in the three heats being 1:13”. The coil. race was won by l. G. Boston‘s Grey Fillle; time. 1:30. The races in the 3:18 class were the exciting ones of the day, and there were probably ten or more scores be- fore the animals finally got away on the last best. .The first two heats in this race were won straight and easily by Thomas Quinlan's bay gelding C. C. 0., his best time being 1:13%. Three C.’s got away better on the start anda led the field all the way around the track without breaking. Three C's trotting was of a fine order, but the animal was not in the best‘of condition, being agtrlfie too fast to hold the pace set in the first two heats. finishing second in the third heat. third in the fourth heat. and fourth in the fifth heat. 1. 0. Hamilton. who drove Three C.'s, managed to get into line on the last heat and whipped him under the wire in second place. The last four heats were won straight by Jenks's Beldcn Boy, though Three C.'s lost the last by only about a neck. The firstheat was an exciting one in the fact that a runaway occurred. Eli Mead. of Westport, was delving h'is H. M. B. P., who got the bit in her teeth and started a running race ar- ound the track. Mend could not get his animal utidcr control until she had gone twice around the track on a run. .

In addition there were many members of Buckingham Wom- en's Rclief Corps in attendance. The Grand Amy men occupied seats on either side of the center aisle. at the front of the church. The elaborate musical program. published in Satur- day's Sentinel. was beautifully render- ed. reflecting much credit on Organist Edward F. Hands and the members of the choir. The oifertory solo. Gou- nod's "Abid With Me." by Miss Marie Norton, was especially effective. The Rev. John C. Fogsrty was cele. brant of the vesper service. The Rev. William Mailer, D. D.. pastor of St. Joseph's Church, South Norwalk. was also in the sanctuary. Father O‘Don- nell preached after the Magnificat was sung. The altar was very handsomely dec- orated for the occasion with colored lights. fiowers. etc. Father O‘Donnell spoke as follows, the subject of his ser- mon, after his talk especially to Grand Army men. being “Wordllness:" "Love not the world. nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father Is not in him. For all that is in the world is the concuplsonce of the flesh, and th concuplsence of use eyes and the pri of life, which Is not of the Father, but Is of the world. And tho‘world passeth away. and the .oucupisencc thereof: but he that doth the will of God, abideth forever." I St. John 2. 15-17. Veterans of the Grand Army: It is a gratification. I assure you, to «also my voice in praise of those her- oic men, who in response to the stern call of duty, went cheerfully to the trout in the dark'days of the early .ixties to battle for the preservation of this nation. and. if necessary. to lay down their lives on Southern bat- tlefields that those states should re- main one and inseparable. It is a pleasure to mingle our words with the universal refrain that wells up from millions of hearts at this time in recog- nitionof loyal service. of unchallenged patriotism. of hardships borne of mar- tyr-like suffering. of generous blood spilled and of unwavering confidence or the ultimate success of a transcen- dent cause. It is our duty. and one cheerfully recognised, to keep fresh in memory the valorous deeds of these. whose names are inscribed upon the nation’s soil. It is for us to transmit to future generations the record that is our proud possession. and which forms such brilliant chapters In the glorious history of this republic. The names of our heroes—and whe- ther they suffered the privations of war in the ranks burdened with knap sack and musket, or whether they led armies to victory, all were heroes— ‘were not born to die.‘ They will live In history even as those whose deeds are the glory of the Grecian and Ro- man name. Though centuries of time are behind us we are as familiar Wliil the names and deeds of Caesar and Alexander. of Scipio and Hannibal as with Austerlita and Waterloo, Magen- ta and Trafalgar. The deeds that im- mortalized the Pass of Thermopyiae are as vivid in the minds of our pupils as are the events that brought ihe Dic- tator of Europe. the victim of Water- loo. a humiliated captive to the ocean- washed rock of St. Helena. And are we to believe that the names ofGrant and Shaman, of Sheridan and Heads. of Hancock and Kearney. of Lyons and Thomas. of Farr t and Halieck and a host of other illustrious and venera- ble names are destined to oblivion. or that Antietam or Foil.
