August meeting and saw some of the
best racing ever witnessed at PittA-

any Maine track this fall. There
were large fields Of horses, plenty
Of speed, and the drivers made
things hum. There were many excit-
irg finishes and plenty Of excitment
throughout the afternoon.

started off briskiy and took the first
heat. Maxievoy, owned by II. Q.
Anderson Of Lisbon Falls, who had

heats in a very stylish manner un-
Ger Busters" skillful guidance.
This gave Richardson first money,
the second went to NJ Hughes Wen
illewood and third to Seddie Mann,
