RACE MEET SATURDAY
FA|RV|EW PARK
F0rty-three Entries. Bingham and
StrattOn In Baseball Contest
Citizens Band

All Maine sportdom Will have its
eyes on Skowhegan next Saturday
and we'll it should because here will
take place one of the greatest mid
summer race meets ever attempted. 1t
will be a day every man, woman and
child with the least bit of sporting
blood in his veins will want to make
mental note of and resolve to attend.
We have one of the fastest tracks in
the state and turfmen are always
anxious to come here. That's why
Skowhegan sees a superior brand of
steppers. Below is the list of en-
tries forty-three in number. We are
familiar with these horses and unless
we miss our guess, the fans are going
TO witness some mighty fast racing,
The large Frandstand, facing the
north and rooted it is, provides COM
Portable accommodation no matter how
warm the weather may be. The
Somerset Central Agricultural So
ciety's officials leave nothing undone
To make a success of anything they
undertake This was again demon
strated when the Citizens Band was
hired to give a concert between the
heats. Indications are the baseball
game will be a spirited one. The
contest is between Bingham and
Stratton, one of the regular games
scheduled in the big Somerset County
Baseball League, involving prizes ag-
gregating $2500. In the evening
there will be a dance at the Exhibi-
tion Building. the Citizens Singing
Band furnishing music. The floor
has been cleared of booths making
the largest area for dancing in the
county. The band has the latest jazz
numbers and If attendance at previous
events of this kind mean anything an
enormous crowd is anxiously awaiting
an opportunity to shake leg to the
bands bewtching music. 1t will be
hard to choose a better place to spend
restful and interesting time than
at Farview Park next Saturday after
noon
