Rosewood led by many yards, but befor e the first quarter was reached Gunhilda bad passed her, which position she retained tilt finish winning by three lengths. Maud B was in bad condition being very weak, having foaled but one week previous.; Gun/nide is a small mare, a perfect pia - tare and as a trotter does her work well and with comparative coolness.

NARB.ow EsoAPE-On the way home from ihe;picnio the misconduct 6f some persona caused a team to run away and thereby greatly endangered the lives of two of our Dashwood ladies, Mrs. J. Pope and Mrs. F. Noll. They saw the team coming .behind thembarely in time to tarn their horse to one side in order to let the ,runaways go past. The wagon caught the wheel of their buggy and wrenched it off but provi- dentially no rovi-dentiallyno one was hurt. The young man, who caused the runaway, should have been severely dealt with, as such eon- duct as his cannot, be too "much censured. He is supposed to belong to the Bauble' Line. We hope he may take warning and be careful of his conduct in future. Zurich. (Too late for last weeks issue.) ConxayAins.-'Base ball seems to be the {ir'der' ofethe day.
