J M Robinson, E C Salmon, St John; D Keith, Halifax; W Carbonell #nd Ivan McKinnon, Churlottetown started in the second heat. There were some good spurts

ing for a high wind which prevailed during | In this heat, and it was very exciling

the latter part of the afternoon, and the best of order was maintained. There must have been upwards of two thousand people on. the grounds during the day. The grand

stand was packed, and many who were desirous ef obtaining seats thereon could

not do so. A material enlargement of this structure is evidently very necessary.

[here were good fields of starters in each event on the vard, and all the contestauts were apparently in excellent condition. The various contests were close and excit- ing, and the admirers of the citferent com petitors male the welkin ring with their shouts of admiration and approval.

The novice race was the first item, and it was called about one o’cloe!x. This race, as well as several others, was run in three heats, half of the number taking part in the first heat, the remaining contestants ia the second heat, and the three best in the first two heats racing off in the final heat.

Those who came up for the etart in the first heat were Fenton Newsome, W F Collings, C M Clarke, W T Harvie, Char- lottetown; Roy C Lea, Victoria; H H Grady, Summerside. This was a good race throughout. Clarke finished first, Grady second and Newsome third. Time 2.4625

In the second heat the starters were W B Prowse, L A Seller, G@ T Morris, Char- lottetown; Frank Compton, Summerside; Wm Noble, St Jobn; and H F Grant, New Glasgow. This heat was alco closely contested. Compton finished first, with Prowse and Grant tieing for second place. Time 2.49 1-5.

Clarke, Newsome, Grady, Compton, Grant and Prowse contested the final heat, and warmly fought it was. After the first half the contestants became well bunched, aud the race home was a grand one. But Newsome dropped into first place and finished in that position, wianing the race. Grady finished a good second and Clarke third. Time 2.47 1-5

The haif mile (C. W. A. Maritime championship) was the secoud event on the card, and it was keenly contested and most interesting and exciting throughout.

The tinal heat in the quarter mile was contested by Unsworth, Couissarat, Mc - Diarmid, Keith, Stewart and Clark. Uns- worth had the pole with Couissarac in cecond position. Unsworth took the lead at the start and held it till entering the back stretch, when Couissiart, who was racing in prime form, came up. Fora time these two rode side ly side, but the Charlottetown boy had the most speed at the finish and won in 35 seconds, with Couissarat at his wheel. McDiarmid finish- ed third.

In the first heat of the one mile 2.50 class, the following started: W T Harvie, L A Sellar, W Cook, WL Harvie, Char- lottetown; Frank Compton, Summerside; Harry F Grant, New Glasgow. The pace was lively throughout. Cook finished first, Compton second and W L_ Harvie third. Time 2.44,

McDiarmid, Arthur M. Jones, E ©. Salmon and J. M, Robinson, St. John. The race was hotly contested throughout. Unsworth and Smith tried hard for first place, and on the last stretch the former was leading. Here Unsworth’s front wheel slipped and his speed was momentarily checked. Short as the check was, however, it gave Smith a chance that he immediately avaiied himself of and he captured the race in 14.46 2-5. Uneworth was just behind him, with Salmon following closely.
