RENSSELAER OUTSTRIPS ALL.

It will be seen from the above that the Rensselaer postoffice does more business than any of her neighboring county seat offices pf Crownpoint, Delphi, Fowler, Kentland, Monticello,, Knox or Winamac. SATURDAY’S RACES. , The running races at the Stock Farm Saturday afternoon were fairly well attended considering the cold, disagreeable day, and the races were quite interesting. In the quarter mile dash Bob Allen, the Roselawn horse, won bv a head, with “Smirk,” the O. K. Ritchey mare, Spiirk started several lengths behind Bob Allen, and had an even start been had would easily have won. In the half mile dash Bob Allen again got a start ahead of Smirk, but the latter was an easy winner, with Tom Watson (also Ritchey’s horse) second, and Bob Allen third. Owing to the lateness of the hour Smirk was not sold, as advertised, but these horses will all run again at Franoesville next Saturday, Dec. 10, and the mare will be sold at auction at the conclusion of the races, and O. K. Ritchey announces that he will also permanently retire from the turf and devote his whole attention to Bronze turkeys and Plymouth Rock chickens after this race. Subscribe for The Democrat.
