LEWISTON FAIR
Continued from Pace One)
The Race Gard

Lewiston, Me-, Sept At waa a
tough day for favorites on the Maine
State Fair track today. Patty, Pap
rika, and Dewey the Great, the three
winners were considered lin the
money" but were not ruling hot to
win. Dewey the Great was a six to
two shot, while such favorites as
Dolly g. Three Bells and Helen Witt
finished far down in the scoring.
Today's crowd fell far below that Of
the record breaking Monday, but
there were 5000 in the stands and
as many more along the rails. Patty
won the ZIG pace hands down. After
close brush with Brown Heart in
the first heat, the PottIe driven mare
had little trouble. Dolly G was a
hot favorite to cop but did net get
Face.
Paprika took the second event, the
2.22 in straight heats, having q warm
finish with First Balcium, then AL
bert ]. and finally the Highlander
Three Bells, finishing fifth and the
strongest favorite before the race.
The feature brush was a three cor
nered duel between Dewey the
Great, Prince Charming and Silk
Worm. Prince Charming's habit of
breaking lost his the race, tho he
forced Dewey the Great to five heats.
Card was thrown from Three Bells in
the third heat of the 222 in an I'M
avoidable accident with Albert J.
Day up, but little dammage was
done.
