and Running Races.
Fitzsimmons Wins the Trot-Csnny seot,
Gonna Lila, Applause and Monte Carlo
Capture the Running Races.


1t is to be hoped that it has been a financial
success. too. Larger crowds have been in
attendance than ever known before, but it
must be borne in mind that the admission
fee has been reduced to one-half.
The racing yesterday was all that could
he desired. The starting was excellent
-Four fav0rites won out of the five races, and
the talent made quite a recovery. The last
race, however. gave them somewhat of a
'facer," being won by the outsider Monte
Carlo in two straight heats. The manage
ment must be congratulated on the success
achieved and the smoOthness-broken, of
course, by few inevitable but Insignificant
"kieks"-whch characterized the carrying
out OF this years fair in Agricultural
District No. /. Yesterday, TOO, drew the
biggest crowd yet seen, nearly 1000 people
being present.
Almonition, Maggie Fitzsimmons and
Charles James formed the quartet which
started for the 1928 class consolation purse
RITZ was fav0rite at S35, and the field and
Almonltl0n sold out at Sl3 each. Maggie
went out with the lead in the first heat, with
AlmonlU0n close I'D, He taDgledt in the
backstretch and the favorite took second
place. Maggie led On sufferance to the
homestretch. where she went off her feet,
and FliZy won the rest OF the way very
handily. Time. 2:27. Fitz took the next
slowest heat of the meeting The next heat
and race was big wak0ver for FitZsim-
mons, and he showed himself little, as he
went the mile In 2:2212, distancing the whole

All the big crowd had arrived before the
first running race-the all-aged handicap,
one and quarter miles. Canny Scot was
hot favOrlte, Captain al and Raindrop
most fancied of the others. Tom Jones
gave them splendid send off, Tyrona cut
ting out the running past the stands, with
Captain AL and Fanny + in close attend
ance The latter led at the quarter, when
Raindrop went out in front. The five were
fairly punched entering the stretch. Rain
drop still led, but the fayorite came on the
outside and soon had his field in trouble.
Ambrose rode a good finish on Captain Al.
but the son OF Leinster outfo0ted him. and
won in romp in the good time of ? ;09A by
length from the big black horse. who
only beat Raindrop neck for the place.

Speculation now ruled fast and furious on
the twO-yeaT-old scrambl over six furlongs.
Donna Lila was the .'pick Of the basket"
and the talent played her till the bookmak-
ers grew tired of writing her name. ALI
ance, The Drummer and Condo were most
fancied Of the remaining nine. Some little
time was cut 10 waste at the post, and there
were several breakaways when the flag
fell. The Drummer whipped round and
was left at the post. When the field settled
down tue colOrs of Alliance and Condo were
seen in front Of a weli-bunehed field.
The mass of color swept around into the
hOmeStretch, where Alliance show ed the
way. Condo dropped back ana Ledalia and
the fayorlte came like ghosts out OF the
ruek TO tight 1t out with Alliance. II was a
magp fcent race to the wire, the people in
the stand going fairly frantic with excite
ment as the trio ran nose and nose for
home. Donna Lila got her hackers
home by head from Ledalia, who beat
Alliance by nose for the place. 1t was the
closest aud best finish of the meeting. Time
slow, 1:17.

The slx-furlong selling-race brought ont
eight starters. Old Applause was the favor
lite. lie Is now running in great form. and
another thing is that little Gotta can ride him

ond choice, by short length for the place.
