WEDNESDAY’S RACES.

The running races and base ball game at the Stock Farm Wednesday were quite well attended, but a great many people saved a quarter by not entering the grounds, but viewed the sport from the roadside, just north of the track. Following is a report of the events. Three furlongs and repeat pony race—Jap Wright’s Elsie Ritchey, Ist; L. T. Spencer’s Lsdy Garnet, 2d; Hughes Bros. Ruth Jones 3d. Purse SSO. Half mile and repeat race— Eugene Rice’s Belle of Oakwood won first heat; Elsie Ritchey second heat; third heat dead, and money divided. Purse SSO. Six furlong dash —Belle of Oakwood Ist; Wiseman Bros. King Henry 2d; L. T. Hopper’s Bob Allen 3d. Purse SSO. The base ball game was decidedly pne-sided, and resalted in a score of 6 to 1 for Mt. Ayr. Neither Montgomery Ward & Co,, nor Sears, Roebuck & Co., can get your clothing order after looking over oar stacks; be sure and oome to see ns. Louis Wildbebg.
