“ I am requested by the owners of the u Blueskin ” mare, 
to state that they will match any trotting horse, now owned in 
Whitewater, to trot on Elkins’ track, eight miles south of 
Janesville, two mile heats, best 2 in 3, for $200 or $500, to go 
any time the parties can agree upon; the forfeit to be one-half 
the amount they are to go for.” 
After the trotting match, Mr. L. W. Cutler announced from 
the Judges’ stand, that he challenged “ Blueskin ” to trot mile 
heats, best two in three, for $300 a side; to go anytime in Sep¬ 
tember, over either of the Beloit courses, naming “Black Wea¬ 
sel,” and we suppose nothing will come of the challenge.

On the whole, the day passed off well. All appeared satis- 
* fied, and those interested were convinced that an “ Annual 
Horse Show,” at this place will be amply sustained, and be 
productive of great good. Next year, we promise those who 
attend, more for their money.
