GOOD RACES
YESTERDAY
Card at the Fair Grounds Pleased
the Large Crowd
Present

The opening races Monday at the
far grounds We're by far the best events
seen on the track in some time. Every
event was a feature and the visitors
received full value for their money.
There were no waits or delays Pre-
siding Judge Jeffriees is determined
that each race shall be pulled off on
time. The benefit of having a paddock
on the grounds is already beginning to
be noticed. Horses must be in the
paddock twenty minutes before the
race in which they are to enter and all
jOckies who are to ride must also re-
port at the paddock. This feature has
made it possible to call races on time
with the assurance that those interest
ed will be on hand. Mr.. Len Mitchell
has been appointed by the management
as superintendent over the jockies and
they are kept promptly in line.
The crowd at the grand stand eag
erly awaited the opening of the first
race which was the 1926 trot or pace,
one mile, best two in three for purse
of $3.50. There were five entries in the
first heat went to Loveless who was
the favorite at the betting ring. The
first heat was uneventful and Gold Bug

Wilkes fifth. Time, 2:20.
The second heat was more interest
ing to the spectators and was very
| ~ oil tn the u,iro
| The start was made without much eff
fort and when the judge shouted go
they were off pretty we'll together. 1t
| was nip and tuck all the way round
with hard lines to pick the winner At
the half mile post Loveless who was
| slightly in the lead broke and trailed
behind before she could gain her feet.
AS the animals moved into the home
