just prior to the first heat. About 12,-
600 people were at the fair and about
half of them occupied the grand stand
and were lined up around the track.
There was no pool selling on the
grounds, as the fair association would
not allow 1t. The judges were l.. P. ID.

Gently erected in front of the grand
stand that the starter used at the Can
ton Driving Park Associations race
meet several weeks ago, but moved his
headquarters to the judges stand,
where they used to be.

latter broke on the first quarter, and
Margery F.'s hobble broke and she was
out of the heat at the beginning. At
the half mile Midnight had forged
ahead with Nellie d. and Little Jap
second and third respectively. Mid
night held his position until the finish,
but Nellie D., Clipper Wilkes and Har-
ry G. got tangled up near the home

badly broken, In the second heat Mid.
night led off, with Little Jap second
and Sharon Boy third. They kept
these positions until the half mile wire,
when Little Jap jumped to first place.

started. in the lead, but the last named
broke after going about 200 yards. At
the half mile Tillie Fl. was pushing
Little Jap hard for first place. and at
the three-Quarter pole Sharon Boy
came up from the end to SECOND. Lit
tie Jap was first at the finish by three
lengths and It was. pretty, race for
second between Tillie H. and Sharon
Boy and the latter won It because Of
the former breaking near the wire.

with in the fourth heat, pushing Lit

hair. thereby. capturing first money

third and. Apollo fourth. .Iq en- j7s,
The second event was the ais pace.
Fred Orphan, owned by George Hart
man, of Akron, who won three straight
heats in the 2:30 pace at the Canton
Driving Park association meet sew
eral weeks ago, duplicated his per-
formance and walked off with three
straights yesterday. At no time in
the first heat was he crowded for first
place. In the second heat Queen l..
broke away from her end position and
took second, giving Fred Orphan a
hard race for first honors. The third
heat was much the same with the
horses we'll strung out all through.
On the last quarter Queen l.. again
made a vain effort for first place but
she was unable to reach Fred Orphan.
However, she took second money and
John c. Welty's Silkline third.
There was seven entries in the last
event., the 2:35 trot, but three were
drawn. Fortune Bell, owned by John
C. Welty, started in the lead with
Quin Tell in the rear Quin Tell quick
Iy took the, first place and 1t was not
long before Janus, owned by II. B.
Spelman, of Canal Dover, took second
place and at the three quarter pole he
crowded Quin Tell and they came
down the last quarter neck and neck
bu. the gelding won the heat by a
trifie. These two led off in the second
heat with Margaret Ramsey third, but
she broke on the first quarter putting
her far to the rear. At no time was
she a factor in the race. The horses
were we'll strung out during the en-
tire heat and at the three quarter
pole Janus forged ahead of Quin Tell
holding his position until the finish
winning by two lengths. This race
could not be finished Thursday, so II
