sides many stake events In the east
and afterward In France and Austria
In the opinion Of a majority Of the
trainers Guy Burns will be the equal
OF his older brother. as he has shown
the same fearlessness and horseman-
ship that Tommy did when he was
riding at Windsor a number Of years
ago. The boys hail from Chatham.

A half dozen carloads of horses ar
rived during the day and tomorrow

largest amount of purses and led the
winning owners by comfortable mar

The hotels are crowded to their
capacity on account Of the light har-
ness brigade and the devotees Of the
running turf being here at the same
time. Fluctuations were exchanged
among many OF them which had not
met since the spring and many not
in years who had changed their allie
glance from the trotters TO the run
ners as did Myron McHenry. Mart
Demerst and others who had held the
reins behind the best that have been
seen on the trotting turf In years.

Yes. There Were Thrills.

The crowd paid for thrills, and got
its moneys worth; that was all there
was to IL.
Aside from the surprise which Mr..
Mcdonald and Margin handed us, the
1909 NJ e. NJ. could not be termed an
exciting horse race. II wasn't ex.
citing BECAUSE. after the first heat
had been raced, there wasn't a man
swho could conscientiously see where
there was another horse that had q
license to finish within two lengths
Of the winner. In surprising us, Mr..
Mcdonald had simply ruined the race
from the standpoint OF competition.
There wasn't even any mixing up OF
the other positions. Marie ~ was
easily the best of the rest and as
good as her supporters had believed
her to be. She would have won any
other NJ q NJ. with the possible ex.
ception OF the one captured by So.

but never threatening TO do better.
