When horse racing day came, you never saw such crowds and crowds of people come to Dows all at once. The People of Dows, some of them didn't want horse racing in the town so after a few years, the people voted it down and did away with the Driving Club. Those that loved sports had a hard time in Dows. So much happened around Kuhn's Corner - one time Andy Sever lived on N. St. with his folks and worked for Billie Finn's Drug Store. Andy entered a contest of some kind in the store and became the winner of a full-blooded pig.
Railroad comes to town.
The railroad coming to Dows was really something. It was the booming days. At noon there were passenger trains stopping - at evening when the north and west passenger trains came in at eight o'clock, there was always crowds of people who just walked down to the depot to meet the trains, visit and mingle with the folks. It was always a big thrill to watch the passenger trains pull in. One time Mrs. Frank McAllister and two daughters, Mary and Lottie went clear back to Pennsylvania by train.
