It was the most thrilling finish of the race, as Walter Candler’s Great Lullwater was only a neck back, with Del Miller driving. The Wilmer, owned by the SA. Camp Forms, Inc, was a rank outsider that surprised the experts in spite of good races the two weeks before the race.

one of the finest driving feats witnessed in a long. long time and accomplished in the true O'- Brien style of never giving- up until the wire has been passed. HARD LUCK

In the final heat Little Rocky was one of the hard-luck colts, being held up on the final turn by a mishap. but he still man- aged to get up fourth behind Mr. Saunders.

At the same meeting. Joe was second with Trim Freight in the Poplar Hill two-year-old Breed- ers’ Filly Stake, purse $7,000, with a 2-1-2 summary. The winner was Honick Rainbow, driven by Stan- ley Dancer, with a 15-1 sum- mary. Time 2.02 ,4-5, 2.00 45 and 2.10 2-5 with a heavy track on the last heat. Our readers will note that Joe went a remarkable second heat with Trim Freight; the first quarter was in 28 4-5, the half in 59 35, the three-quarters in 1.30 2-5 and the mile in 2.00- 4-5. DuQuoin is a mile‘track, and when conditions are right, it is a fast one. There is a.“cut” of Joe finishing with three other fil- lies, all of them practically in line. He was on the outside and had to come “the long mile”.

In the “Geers Pace" for three- year-olds, purse $7,032 Bye Bye Byrd (D. Taylor) was 1—1, 'llhompe Hanover (D. Miller) 2-2, Shadow Wave (J. O'Brien) so, time 1.57- 4-5 and 1.58 4-5.

“The great colts that he de- throned were: Billy Direct, who raced in 1.58 at three for Vic Fleming in Lexington in 1937, and Torpid, who did the same for John Simpson At Vernon Downs in 195/7. And he came right back in the next heat to win in 1.58 4-5, with his total time for the two miles 3.56 3-5, missing. from the world record table Kr‘v- ‘ owner’s 3.69 3-5. made at.

Another striking performance by

Joe O’Brien was in the Two-Year- Old Pace, purse $28,720.50. raced on the same track on August 28. The summary was: Adios Day

Here is a brief ac- count trom the same magazine: "Hugh Grant's chestnut son of Adios won the first heat in 2.00 35 after leading throughout. for driver Del Miller; Joe O’Brien and Meadow A1, another son of Adios, came trom nowwhere to pace in storm down the outside of the track to grab second place over Adios Day.

-“In the second mile, Cat-loader led the half, with Adios Day at his ,sulky wheel; he made a bob- ble, and Meadow Al went around the leaders to take over at the three-quarters and go on to win handily over Adios Day and Adios Chief in 2.00 4—5. The raceoif pro- duced ‘a final quarter in 28 1-5 seconds, with Adios Day (Miller) out-brushing the tree-legged Caron Farm colt by a narrow margin. BIG NIGHT .

AI Langille had quite a night at Sckville Downs recently, win- ning races 1 and 4 with Con- gressional Boy, and race 6 with Royal Atom. Congressional Boy also had the honor of stepping the fastest mile of the night - 2.08 4-5. Second to him in that dash was Red’s King (D. Ratch- Moreside) was third. Congression- al Bay has had a long and credit- able racing career he is now ten years old and took his record of 2.03 »2-5 as a seven-year-old. He raced the season of 1957 in the stable of HM. Sweeney of Brid- gswater, a man who has done

a tremendous job-for harness,

racing in the Muritimes, and who brought to these prwinces hor- ses that made track records and helped. bring large crowds to exhibition races here and to ev- ents in other provinces.

Congressional Boy is now own- ed by Mrs. M. Langille, Lincoln N.-B., and C.B. Smith, also of Idncol-n.

Now a few words about Mr. Langille's career. .He Was born at River John, N.S., on January 4, 1894, and early in life be- came connected with harness horses. Last year he made 28 firsts, “i seconds and 22 thirds and won $8,605. His son, Allison G. Langille 'Jr., was born at Hartland, N.Bi, on January 1, 1925, and he races almost ex- clusively in the state of Maine, where he resides. Last year he was 36 times first, 4!? times se- cood and 45 times third with win- nings of $14,511.

Another son, Edward A. Lan- gille. Who resides in Union Mills. N.B., WAS 14 times first. 23 times seem and 21 times third last with winnings 0053.291, which bid-rigs the total winnings of the Langille fim "yxto 3%,407. DOUBLE w NER
