Holding up lhv‘ fine tradition of

Old Home Week racing thrills, and keeping pace with (he nut- stundini: perfurniaiiccs that have been witnessed earlier in the wcek,, the first of the (iouhle fea- ture racing events scheduled for this week got away in a flying start yesterday afternoon and eve- ning before crowds that packed the stands and grounds to the point of overflowing, o o - -

Enacting breathtaking rlucls over every inch of the mile course, and ending up in unbelievable close, blanket finishes which in some instances the judges couldn't even decide the winner from among five horses at the Wire without the aid of a photo finish. kept the largest crowd of the season and estimated ns the largest in locnl track history, in a continual state of feverish excitement.

In the afternoon the four well- filled classes in both trot and p ee divisions were sprinkled with unexpected upsets when outsid- ers came through in the stretches to beat out. high favorites at the wire, while the three divisions ln the evening program was pretty much a repetition of the afternoon although in a slightly slower time bracket.

Today will herald another full day of racing pleasure for the thousands of rabid fans who will be turning out. to see the action in both the afternoon and even- ing events. The Mg feature of the afternoon. and also the week, will be the Frcc-lfor-All when Vella La Vella, Scott SPQYRTT- Aflll‘ Aircraft, Eddie Scott, Carl Frisco Gay Law and McKylo Cash will battle it out over the dirt in the three hgaig which are expected to come up with something really sensational in the way of to? performance and record times.
