the opening days card of the Can
ton Driving Park associations mid
summer meeting.
Vance Nuckols, the .Glenville owner,
had the 2:21 trot all to himself, win.
ming every heat in easy fashion. His
horse, Col. Osborne, one of the few
Grand Circuit horses entered in the
meet, outclassed the rest of the en-
tries in the third event and won with
out an effort.
An unusually large crowd for the
opening day attended the races. over
six hundred people were present, and
although they were not wrought up
over close contests and varied heats,
they saw good clean sport. This after
noon, when the working people will
be at leisure, it is expected that one
of the largest crowds in the history OF
the association will attend the rae
ing.
Pools sold lively on all three events,
the favorite in each race coming out

FIRST EVENT.
In the first event, Quintell, owned
by A. l.. Walters, of Canal Dover,
came under the wire three straight
times in the lead, seemingly with
ease. The favorites in each event,
with the exception of the pace, were
the winners. Sandy Hal was gener-
ally picked to win in the pace, but
George r. Peck, owned by Eddie Hay
wood, of Salem, nosed him out, the
favorite taking second money on two
seconds and a fifth.
The first heat of the 2:.30 trot was
started at about two o'clock, the
horses getting out little late. Start
er Wilson got them started in good
shape, with Quintell and Dynamo,
owned by John G Welty, of Canton,
in the lead, and Lettie Guy, the Akron
horse, in the rear At the quarter pole,
Burgoyne broke, taking last position.
BY the time the circuit of the half
mile track had been made, Black Now
cry had forged ahead of Dynamo W.,
but was unable to overtake Quintell.
When the homestetch was reached,
Black Mowery gave Quintell a hard
race but the Canal Dover horse held
the lead and won by several yards,
with Black Mowery second, Dynamo
w. third and Admiral Togo, fourth.
The last named was an added starter,
taking Charlie Kings place, who was
scratched.
BLACK MOWERY'S BREAK. I
In the second heat Quintell again
started well, with Admiral. Togo fol-
lowing. Black Mowery crawled up on
the leaders at the start, but broke at
ter the quarter pole was reached. At
the half mile wire the two leaders
still held their positions, while Bell
amore and Dynamo w. lfad come to
the front. Black Mowery and Little
Mack bringing up the rear. The run
ners were well strung out on the last
quarter. Admiral Togo endeavored to
give Quintell race for place, but the
favorite held its position throughout
Black Mowery's break at the quarter
pole was disastrous as he trotted well,
and IL it had not been for his break
ing, he would have undoubtedly gwen
Quintell hard race for the second
heat
Dynamo W., Quintell and Admiral
Togo took the lead-at the beginning
of the third heat, but the favorite took
the lead Before many yards had been
run: Black Mowery, VINO ran the
first heat In such a creditable way
made another break on the first quar-
ter, which threw him far to the rear
Quintet led throughout, the others
being well punched behind him. Near
the homestretch he further increased
his lead and won with ease. Admiral
Togo beat Dynamo W. out for second
place by head, thereby taking sec
ond money and crowding Dynamo W.
back to fourth money. Black Now
cry captured third money.
George r. Peck surprised ruany by
winning the All pace in straight
heats, beating out Sandy Hal, the fav-
orite, in great shape. He and General
Gentry, Cleveland horse, led on In
the first heat. but before the first quar-
ter had been run. Legal Hal. owned
by the Mayer Stock Farm, OF Akron,
forged ahead with Geo. r. Peck a close
second. During the entire heat until
