Precarious Car Service.
The Canton Driving Park Associa-
tion opened its September race meet
yesterday afternoon, Labor Day, with
the 2:40 trot. Out of zine horses en-
tered, five were scratched. Those start
ing were Annie O., Dynamo, Kitty B.,
and Amos Judd. Dynamo Is owned by
John c. Welty of Canton, and this is
her first season on the track, this be-
ing her fourth race. On the night OF
the fire she strayed away after having
been rescued from the fire and was
only found at about 2 o'clock in the
morning, out in the pasture. so she was
standing 4S hours and did not have
sufficient rest to put her in good shape
for yesterdays race. Nevertheless, she
made a good showing and, handi-
capped as she was, she captured second
place in the first event.
The first and second heats of the
2:40 trot were won by Dynamo, while
the remainder were captured by Kitty
b., the winner. In the second heat,
Amos Judd, owned and driven by G. L..
Stull of Akron, had not gone 100 yards
before he collided with the sulky drawn
by Kitty. b. and overturned her own
sulkey, throwing the driver under the
horses hoofs, breaking away from him
and continuing the race alone. He
went as far as the gate leading to the
barns, near the homestretch, where he
jumped over the fence, pulling the
sulky after aim, and dashed down to-
ward the celery fields nearby, where he
was caught. The time of the first race
was 2:29A for each heat.
The second event, the 2:17 pace, was
won by Harold Brooks, by Box, owned
by L. E. Smith of Portsmouth, O., and
driven by Estes. He took the first two
heats and allowed VIM. G. to get the
third. He then won the fourth heat
and finished the race a winner Second
money was taken by VIM. c., third by
VIM. Bell, and fourth by Grace Pointer
In the second heat of this race Belle
billiard, owned and driven by j. X.
Dunning of Cleveland, took the wrong
position, and, after going about zoo
yards, crashed into the sulky drawn
by Allie Leaf, who was length ahead
of her. Both sulkies were broken, but
neither of the horses or the drivers
were injured. Burns, driver of Allie
Leaf, held on to her until after being
thrown, and brought her to stop. The
other horse was caught. The accident
put both horses out of the race. -Four
of the horses entered in this race were
scratched, one being Ella Purcell, who
was at first reported burned at the fire
Sunday evening, but later was found
20 be only injured.
Since five heats were run in the first
race and four in the second, 1t was
pretty late when the 2:1S trot was
started. There was only time enough
for one heat, which was won by Mi
kado, owned and driven by George
Teare of Cleveland, with Success sec
ond and Outcast third. The time OF
this heat was 2:20A. This event will
be continued today, as will also the
frce-for-all pace, which was scheduled
