THE BIG STAKE MEETING.
Second Day of the Racing at Rigby
Park.

Small Crowd was in Attendance but the
Races Were Well Contested-PaddyD ID.
Won One and Emma westIand, Port
land Horse, Took Second Money.
The second day racing at Rigby in the
great stake meeting was not much better
attended than was the opening day, but
the races were much more interesting and
more hotly contested. There were only
two events on the programme, the 2.29
trot and the 2.34 pace.
In the 2. trot there were six starters
and and every heat was q race from the
start to finish. In the first two heats
Paddy D.. who captured many large
purses this year, passed under the wire a
winner by several lengths. In the third
heat Paddy D. broke before the first turn
was reached and was passed by Pilot
Wilkes, who remained in the van until
the turn into the stretch. From this
point to the wire it was the prettiest race
of the meeting SO far. Pilot Wilkes went
to pieces and was passed by Emma West
land, handsome mare owned by .. +.
Stackpole of Biddeford and J. f. Barrett
of Deering. Paddy d. made heroic at
tempt to win out, but broke once more
and finished in fifth position. Emma
Westland was first by several lengths.
In the fourth heat Paddy d. came to the
front once more and won the race with
ease. Emma Westland, who may almost
be regarded as Portland horse, got Sec
ond money.
In the 2. "a pace, it was walk over for
Big Ike who took three straight heats
with ease. La Honda led in the first heat
until the wire was almost reached when
she broke and gave Big Ike the heat.
After this La Honda broke again on the
send off in the second heat and having
run to the first quarter mark was dis
tanced and out of the race. samaritan
was satisfied with the second slice OF the
purse and the third heat was very tame
one.
An excellent card is slated for today
and if the weather is fair there will I'M
doubtedly be big crowd present as this
is one of the best programmes OF the
week. -
