Last Racing Feast
For HOrsen1en in 1921

f. B. Elliott of Auburn commenting
on the races given by Gardiner Driv-
ing and Agricultural Society makes
the following statement which on ac-
count of his illness, he says is much
overdue:
1.-The track Of the society is located
at Merrill's Corner close to the cleo
trio car line from Gardiner to Lewis
ton. 1t is one Of the best race tracks
in Maine, and in the natural beauty OF
its surroundings probably has no
equal in this country.
1T was formerly called Meadow
Park by it's former owner and builder,
The well-known horseman Henry
Merrill. No autos being allowed on
the inside of the track and the grad
ual rising slope of the ground outside
the track make it easy to watch the
horses race from wire to wire.
Everything was done by the So
clety to make it pleasant for the
horsemen. We found the stalls clean
and well bedded and the best of hay
and grain was furnished free. Many
courtesies We're shown which make
the horsemen anxious to return next
season.
1.-THE fields in every class were
good. Races, were holly contested
and in fact were excelled nowhere in
Maine. s 4
