breaks in the first heat. he did not do
hinselr Justlce-everybody could see
that-put that he should land sec
ond m the next two and win second
money came as somewhat of a sur
prise. In this race and in the second
2.1924 was the fastest time made
throughout the day.
iu the 2.24 class, Bobby Wilkes,
owned by L. L. Center of Belfast,
earned the first money and won three
straight heats in as pretty racing as
the Central Maine fair has any aspir-
ations to- furnish.
Grey Rex was disappointment
on account OF her frequent disposition
to run. considering these breaks she
must De given little credit for never
once bringing up in the rear in the face
OF snch sharp competition. Pay
line, recently purchased by Henry Bar
ney oil thls city, is certainly a hand
somely behaved mare. She did not
seem 10 be trotting for all that she was
capapie. IL was Il matter of common
opinion that she was taking in the sit
uation altogether too easily in the pace
which Bobby Wilkes set for her. Pos
sibly she could not have proved super
Tor to the former but her apparent
qualities seemed to place her i'll the
class of Nelson Gilbert. Two unac-
countable breaks in the second heat
contrasted very unfavorably with the
pretty, steady work kept up III the
first and third.
The 3-nlnute class was eXasperating-
ly uncertain throughout the four heats
which We're necessary to decide the
contest. Ora Drew, of the Pearl BROOK
Stock Farm, set the pace of the heats
i'll the first two miles Of the race and
drew out the admiration of thousands.
Notl ing was too fast for her TO notice
until Mr. Hayden's bay began to as
pire to take her place as a popular fav-
orite. In the beginning Of the third
heat Ora Drew was in the lead. In
the beginning of the second. she was
still handsomely leading and there
seemed no fears on the part of those
who were prejudiced in her favor that
she had the heat. TIL last half of the
second brought about a phenomenal
change i'll the appearance OF the field,
the bay gelding, Boynton, somehow
cleared his way out OF seemingly I'M
possible net. rounded the last turn, and
by 4 desperate struggle won out over
his proud rival by a half a length. In
the last struggle Of the day, Ora Drew
was again in the lead thereby winning
the first money.
That the races of the next two days
will be the principal features goes with
out saying; hut that the public haV"
taken an interest in the prospects OF the
candidates for the purse moneys which
has never before been experienced by the
local enthusiasts is somewhat OF sig
niticant statement to make considering
the fast trots which We have at the park,
this year.
Owing to the somewhat unsettled state
of affairs caused by the postponement OF
the races of the first days program, the
program of Friday. could not be ascertain
ed at the time of writing. There Will be
plenty on the BILL however, as there is 4
corresponding larger amount OF entries
from which to choose and to which The
management is determined TO do justice.
The fun on the track will again com
mence at IL o'clock A. M.
