A crowd of 5000 or 10000 saw the
games and sports at the trotting park
while waiting for the airplane. Most of
the sporting contests were well entered,
although in some of them it was hard
to get enough to make contest. The
contests started about 3 o'clock. The
bicycle race took place first. Five boys
lined up to make dash around the
track. Percy Angwin won the race, but
Harold Wescott followed very closely
and Daniel McBain came in third
After the bicycle race arrangements
for the motorcycle race were made.
There were three entries Two of the
men drove around the track few times
but it was almost impossible to keep
the eager sight-seers off the track VIII
lis Henderson, Moses Flanders and Cor
don Riddell were quite enthusiastic to
race, and many people were disappoint-
ed not to see the contest, but on account
of the large crowd it was thought best
not to try to stage any fast racing.
Another of the early features of the
sports was the catching of the CREASED
pig, which was let loose on the park.
After few minutes of lively chasing by
large squad of boys, the overheated
little porker was captured by Master
Clavori. The next interesting contest
was the l00-yard dash, in which there
were only two entries. Gill Irons easily
won the short race from Perley Haskell.
