SABLE " BEST AMONG
ROCKVILLE TROTTERS
Gallene Wins Running Race Which
Proves Most Exciting of
DAYS Sport.

Noy , OPSAAs
The races held in connection with.
the Montgomery County fair were
both of an interesting character and
proved to be most exciting TO the
large crowd gathered in the paddock,
stands and scattered around the track.
All events were pulled off promptly,
and the racing committee. headed by
president Lee Offutt and his splendid
force OF assistants. never allowed a
minute of tagging.
In the go trot there were various
shifting of positions in the three
heats run, but in the melting pot it
was found that W. a. Dixon's sable
W. was the best Of the bunch. Harry
McHenry's, Beverly Axworthy nosing
in second. The sorrel gelding of T. G.
Covinston. just shipped up from Clio,
5. C., succumbed to atmaspheric condi-
tons and came in third. And then
again 1t WAS a Long Way for Tip
perary' PreScott's beautiful bay stall
lion, around the track. but he could
not skirt the bunch that pocketed him
so he came in fourth, although there
were many Rockvillians roofing for
him.
Mil!er's Ben Jones" played best ia
the second trotting race. "Tobe" a
North Carolina horse, pushing in for
second honors and Prescott's ..Silent
Annie" a Rockville equine, showing
well in the running but getting only
fourth money. These Rockville and
Montgomery County horses seem TO
nave knack at any time to give
the track performers good run.
In the third race Miller's "Royaf
Penn outheeled Lady Corsage'' and
Sib BinEen." the pride of Leonard
town. kuldelrs dynamite" blew up
after the first heat and this left more
room fer the shafted bicycles in the
succeeding heats.
In the third running race Earle
Epps out-jockied his ebony opponents
and their mounts. coming from the
oacA IN the last hundred yards and
getting under the wire with "GalIene''
neck ahead of the speedy "Yodet,"
ridden by Kid Young. 1t was a splendid
climax to the day of exciting race.
and the crowd was Uproarious in ap-
probation. Summary:
