Horses and the Races
We have attended Topsham Fairs
many years and there are always
big fields of horses. The rules pro-
vide that no field of less than five
horses shall start and from that
number to or 10 will race for the
money.
There are 90 horses entered for
IL.
ready to start. Harry Mckinney of
word, is work here last year being
the best ever.
The Races
The races, all won in straight
heats, were rather featureless ex-
cept for the speed shown by High
Knob Beauty and Betty Direct. Ad-
die Echo won rather easily and in
characteristic work. High Knob
Beauty was always ready in emer-
gency to let out another link and
was IN the race at all times and was
the favorite in her class. Betty Di-
rect comes from Belfast and was
we'll up in the Free for All at Dana
riscotta last week. She was the IA
vorite in the 220 Trot and Pace.
