THE races at the Georges River trotting
park Thursday, Oct. 7th, were among the
best ever held here. Each race had good
| field of horses, we'll balanced as to speed,
and each heat in each race was fought for
inch by inch. The race in the 237 class was
| very exciting. 1t took six heats to decide it
and the last heat was trotted after dark
There were four horses in the race three of
them winning heats. The 3-minute race was
also very closely contested. The three horses
i'll this race We're very evenly matched In the
/ first heat one blanket would have covered
Two OF Une Gnfee horses nearly all the Way
around the track, and if the blanket had
been large it would have covered the three
horses at times. The time was fast and the
defeated horses are entitled to as much
credit as the winner, he won the race
but by neck. The 2.30 race was not so in
teresting, as it was won by Won Hellon in
three straight heats. The peculiar feature of
this race was the non prepossessing appear
ance of the winner who strikingly resembled
an ancient overgrown rat. But appearances
are deceitful at times and Won Hellon got
there. The bad feature of the races was the
small attendance, which cannot be accounted
| for as the weather was good, though cool.
But when reflect that more money was
taken at the gate than was taken at the
great races at Rigby Park on the same day,
the management have no occasion to feel
chagrined. Below we give the summary:
