As to the claini for $5,000, thc 'iefendants contended that they did not have a pair ot foxes and therefore under the terms of the agreement were not bouml to supply them. The 'iefendunts contended nlso that as to the $1.000 of deposit money paid by the pIuiiitii’l`, while they did not have a pair of foxes they had one fox, which they contended satisfied the terms of the agreeineni, and accordingly ten- dered back to the plaintiff’ $550, being tho proportion ot' the deposit. money applicable to the price of the fox they were unable to provide.

The third series of ice races held

yesterday were witnessed by between a thousand and fifteen hundred spec- tators. and the Hillsborough ice pro- sented a very lively appearance with the many excellent speeders which thronged it. The races were very closely contested, each class going the limit of 5 heats. The time made in the. pace was extremely fast, con- sidering that the conditions were at leastga couple of seconds slow owing to the' ice being somewhat heavy. The 2.20 class was won by Angus Dillard, recently brought here from Ontario by Charlottetown parties. l-le is a handsome horse and possesses ax- tremespaed. Princess Etta, owned by T. C. Edgett. was the chief con- tender, and it was a great race be- tween her and Dillard. lt was a toss-up, and had Etta been on her stride in the last heat it is an even chance she would have won the race. Dillard had somewhat ot’ an advantage in that he has campaigned some recently and is in good condition. Besides the two mentioned, Moth Miller must be given credit for cap- turing the fifth heat; he went H splendid race throughout. Derby and Dixey Girl-the latter drawn in the fourth heat owing to her breaking her harness-were with the leaders almost to the last. it was a great race, and ii’ the same horses are brought to- gether again it may bring out quite a different winner. The green class had five starters. and great interest was taken in it owing to its being the first appearance in ti race of Commodore Grant. i-he Speedy pacer owned by W. S. Newsome. ot' this city. Much has been said about the Commodore‘s speed, ami there has always been con- siderabel anxiety among horsemen to see him race.

The hockey Kaine at the Arena to-

night between the Abbies and Vics promises to be one ot' the closest and fastest of the series.

Both teams have played R same this

season and the Derforinances of each team have occasioned much favorable comment.

The teams will line up the same as

on their first appearance. Who will win will only be known after thc game to-night. While the irianagement. ot' both clubs claim to have a good team, they also realize that the struggle ls bound to be a close one and u iight to the bitter end.

There has been an unusually large

run on the balcony tickets and no doubt there will be a particularly large crowd present to-night to watch these two veteran clubs struggle t`or victory.
