The Programme for To-day-Sporttng Splint-

all Sorts.

The fall meeting at the Driving park COM
menced yesterday, and the attendance was
very large. The races were all hotly con-
tested and awakened the liveliest interest
among the spectators and the grand stand
frequently rang with applause. A brass
band was in attendance and enlivened the
monotony between the heats with excellent
music. Everything passed off pleasantly
and in q manner rejecting credit on the
management.
The first event was a trotting race, in
which Mambrino Thorn, Delco, James F.
and Ohio, all flyers in the 1924 class, were
entered. Judge Webb gave the horses a
good send off and Ohio at once set the pace
and forged ahead the others being close up
at the quarter pole AT the half Thorn was
| only length behind Ohio, and he was press
ing the leader closely when an unfortunate
break threw him behind aud Ohio passed
under the wire an easy winner. Time
2:241l.
In the second heat, Ohio again went to
the front with Thorn at his heels. At the
half mile James F. moved up to second
place. The horses came down the stretch
we'll together, but Thorn again demonstrat-
ed his superiority and won handily in 2:25.
Considerable time was spent in scoring
in the third heat and the Judge finally
warned the drivers to quit jockeying, and
this had the desired effect. The flyers were
sent off in good shape, Ohio leading and
the others punched. Thorn commenced to
let himself out as the stretch was neared.
and he rapidly closed the gap between him
self and Ohio. Both horses came laundering
down the stretch neck and neck, as the
wire was near, the drivers urged the
horses and Ohio passed under the wire a
neck ahead, but on account of long break
made by him on the start, Thorn was given
the heat, Ohio second. James +. third.
Time $685..
After much scoring, good start was eff
fected for the fourth heat. Ohio at once
took his old position at the head CT the
procession, and at the half increased the
lead t length. The tail-enders all moved
up on the stretch and it was Rnyoue's race
to the finish. Intense excitement pre-
vailed among the spectators. James F.,
Ohio and Thorn all came under the wire
almost neck and neck, and it took the
Judges sometime to decide, but James F.
was finally announ ced as the winner, with
J Ohio second and Thorn third. Time
1926.
Soon after the word was given for the
fifth heat Thorn broke badly. Ohio woI
the heat and race easily. Time-2:27.
