Editor Brebdee and Sportsman:âThe racing fever is still Jraging without any abatement in Woodland, and promises to continue to do so till a good rain storm comes and puts a stop to the sport. It has so far been a means of diverting the minds of the good people of Woodland and vicinity from dwelling upon the dry weather and consequent dull times. There has been trotting races every Saturday since Christ- mas, and every horse that has ever been known to be able in the memory of the oldest inhabitant to show any kind of speed, has been "pointed up," entered in his proper class. The fact that every race has been conducted on the square, without any suspicion of jobbery, is the secret of the general and continued interest iu the amusement. Mr. Lydon, the proprietor, is entitled to great credit for the superior manner in which he has managed these racing meetings. On Satur- day, Jan. 8th, the following races took place with Messrs. Howard, Lambert and Rogers as judges, and B. F. Beady Jan. 8th, 1887,âParse E50. Roadsters. Maud W., b mâWin Welsh 1 1 1 Fox, b g-Dan Grigsby S 2 3 Cap. b gâMr. Hussey 2 3 2 Molly, blk m-Wm.

The Srst race of the day was a most hotly contested match between G. W. Griffin's Lucy and S. J. Sills' pacer Yolo. The interest in this race W8i very great, as both horses are quite generally known as being very speedy. In justice to the horses I will say that they are both short of work. In the pools Yolo brought $10 to $6 on Lucy. The race was half-mile heats, best four out of seven. Jan. 15ih. 1687.âPurse 8100. Luc
