The attention of the visitors was divided between the races and 

 a game of base ball, which was played on the grounds between 

 the Scratch Gravels of Stoughton and the Red Stockings of South 

 Braintree, for a prize of $25, offered by the Society, and which 

 resulted in a victory for the Scratch Gravels, 8 to 4. 



The races began at 2 o'clock P. M., under the direction of the 

 judges, and continued until 5 o'clock. 



Saturday was devoted entirely to trials of speed, which attracted 

 a large concourse of spectators. 



The duties of Chief Marshal were most acceptabty rendered by 

 Col. Henry A. Darling, of H}de Park, assisted by Mr. Augustus 

 H. Wright, of West Roxbury.
