The second and final day of the racing st St. Ste hon Thursday was fne, with g crowds in at. tendanee and good racing. The system of drawing for sitions each heat. or what might “m. ed a. modified three heat Ian of racing. was adopted. It id not succeed in splitting the heats up very much as all the races were won in straight heats with the ex. ception of the third heat of the 2.1’! mixed. An accident occurred in the first heat of the Free for All when All Grattan 2.07, driven by Cecil Alexander, and Walter Brown 2.05, driven by Tom Etter, got into a. mix u through the sulkies colliding. The All Grattan horse ran away and no doubt, ex- citement of the runaway and change of gait handicapped hini a. bit. However, It is doubtful whether he could beat Jane Azoff. as she was possib in the best. form she has shown since she came to the Maritimes. The All Grattan horse is anything ‘but an cage horse to drive, but to an on- Ioo r watching Tyndall Semple that is not apparent.

The 224 mixed had six starters and was won handily by the pec- er Bkippydaie 2.14 1-2. He was not extended, owner-driver Tom Btter just sitting there. J. E. Henley was 2-2-2, Rip Abbe. Billy Keyes up. 3 drawn. Time. 2.18. 2.10, 2.21 1-2.

The 2.1‘! mixed was the only event that wag not won in straight heats. The trotter Sunnymeade 2.01 1.2 that is quite capable of trotting in 2.10 over most any track and was a good trotter last season for Billy Keyes was i-1-2. The pacer Martindell 2.11 was 3- 2-1 and the trotter June Evans 2.10 1-2. driven by Wll-ord Kelli- 2-3-3. the trotter Playdale 4-4.4, Gracious Lady 5-5-5. time 3- - 2.11 1-4. 2.11 1-2.

In the Free for All Jane Azoff 1,59 1-2, owned by Charlie Horton. Murray River, and driven by W1lL gm Kelly, was 1-1-1, All Grattan 95 1.4, 3-2-2, Walter Brown 2.05 2-3-3. Time 2.24 (due to accident). 2.10 and the third heat In 2.01. which was stated in despatches a?‘ pearing through The Canadian Press as a new track record. This is incorrect. The track pacing rec. 0rd for st. Stephen is 2.05. mfldt by Walter mile 2.00 8-4. September 2nd, 1987. He was driven by Henri‘ Clukey. That same W" W515" mid got up a new Maritime pac- ing record, a new track record for Fredericton and a new Canadian pacing record for a half-mile track of 2m 1-2. Pleasing to record is the fact that st. swollen med“ such a comeback and that $11811’ racing was so good. For this great credit is due to the Secretary F. D. J. Graham and to R. M. Web- ber, who visited Charlottetown and solicited entries.

Had e letter from J. Mac O'Brien south Nelson, N. 13.. regretting that he could not be with us for Old Home Week, which we also regret. Ml‘. O'Brien and secrete .v T- 0- collette are putting on l. grand race meet for Labor Day at Chat- ham speedway, which has been put in such good condition through their efforts. Chatham. as we have often pointed out, held for years both the pacing and trotting reo- ords of the Maritimes and at one time the trotti record for the Dominion. made y The r- 2.00 1-2. The events for Labor Day are a Free for A11 with a purse of $300, and two other classes with nurses of 8200 each. We hope it will be favored with good weather. a bu" e attendance and best of rac ng.

The barrier is not all It ls crack. ed up to be and tracks where it is being used in the United States are experienci a lot of trouble from diegruntle drivers and own- ers. Then, too, the starts are of- ten very ragged. 1n conversation with a gentleman from the United States who has witnessed a great deal of racing there, he said that there ls no method yet devised that can give an erratic field of horses a fair start. We mentioned a certain starter who has IIIMd greet grominenoe this year, being select: to start some of the big- gest stske races. He says that men won't fool with horses at all.

Ryder Cuppers Battle Jones ’ Challengers

DEYFROYI‘. Aug. 22—(AP)--It's a safe assumption that B:-bby Jones will steal the show in the two-day golf match between his challengers and Walter Hagews United‘ States Ryder Cup team which starts here tomorrow on behalf of the United Services Organizations.

Tuning llp in a practice round for his return to competition aside from his ovm Masters Tournament, Jones, today attracted galleries large enough to bring out the course marshals for a preliminary work- out. Jones. who played aicng with his partner, Gene Sarazen, was close to par after posting a regula- tion 71 yesterday over the Detroit Golf Club course.

For the first half of his 72 holes of play, Jones will pair with Sara- zc-n against Byron Nelson and Har- old (Jug) Mbspaden. His opponent in individual matches will not be made known until lineups are an- nounced tomorrow.
