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 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.
