Big Races for
tuesday. Wednesday

Gardiner Driving and Agricultural
Society have been busy men for the
past 10 days preparing for the fall
meet which Is to be held on Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week at the
clubs driving park at Merrills Cor
ner. The grounds are in excellent con-
dition and the track will be especial
ly fast.
President Littlefeld states that he
expects the track record of els Ii
to be broken by several seconds. He
has personally offered prize of $50
for the horse beating 2.13, and 500
If any horse beats 2.12. Already
about 40 horses are comfortably quar-
tered in the club stables at the park.
The 2.1S, 2.20 and 2.23 classes have
large entries. Horses will be called
sharp at 1 P. NJ. and racing will COM
mence promptly at 100.
Harry H. Lee Of Augusta will dc
the starting, and this means that the
rules Of the game will be lived up to
to the letter. Mr.. Lee has been a pop
ular starter this season, having off,
ciated at Belfast and through Aroos-
| took county. The judges and timers
will be local men, as follows: Dr.
Fred E. Strout, DR.. 3. E. Lamb and
James E. Carroll. together with two
more men chosen from the hcrsemen
present who will be familiar with the
rules and stand. The clerk Of the
course will be George Curry. This, it
will be readily seen, will make a com
petent stand. The Augusta Cade;
Band has been engaged for the two
days and good music between heats
is truly appreciated. There will be spe-
cial car service to and from the track
each day, the recently constructed
turnout at the Corner making the
best Of service possible.
Today the grounds look as II a
young fair was in progress, as the
doll tents and the refreshment tents
are already on the grounds. Now II
only remains for us to have two fino
days and big attendance is assured
The police service will be ample and
in charge of Fred Weymouth. Ttaken
altogether the affair looks big, very
big. The entries follow:
