A Hard Day for Favorites-The 1924
Trot Unfinished.
The several thousand people that
visited Agricultural Park yesterday got
their moneys worth IN the excellent
sport afforded by the trotters and PAGERS.
While the first half of the day was un-
comfortably warm. the latter half was
delightful except to those who haunted
the pool-box and other attractions be-
meath the grand stand, where the re-
freshing southwest breeze could not
penetrate.
Between the heats Cassasa's Band re-
galed the multitude with choice music.
1t repeated j. Donigan's comic medley
"Remembrances OF the Midway" and
the people warmly demanded it again.
Later another of Donigans curious ar
rangements, entitled "Adios Querrida," :"
was given. 1t was a mixture OF Spanish
dances and love songs, and was played
for the first time.
The judges for the day were Directors
Green, Wilson and Hardison. Timers.
Directors De Long, II. f. Agnew and
Frank Burke,
