While the eyes of the leading

been on the Hambeletonian, we have been enjoying some excel- lent racing in the Maritime Pro- vmces, and we would like to say a few words about our local pro- grams, wlhich are the handiwork of race classf-ier E. Krank Acorn To him must be given gneat credit for the good racing pro- grams and Old Home Week’s suc- cess.

Last Tuesday night, rain cut short a. most interesting evening's ententainment, and among the good finishes we would like to single out the C Pace, which was the second dash on the card, won by Donald Clegg driven by George Callback. Donald Cleigg like an entirely different horse with George handling the ribbons; he seemed very comfortable with a mile in 2.13. We would also like to say a word about Feather Duster, now in her 14th year, that won the B T1 firom a real nice field of trottens in 2.14, with the very olasisy Miss Tom Scott

er and Vincent, Dartmouth.
