Its popularity increased over the previous year. the at- tendance of spectators upping considerably. 1nd there were very few postponement! duo lo rain. Th; improved lighting. splendid rendition of the track and the bet- ter programs made night racing very sirijoysblc for yperttM-Offl and it six gave more rypportiinities for slow class (rotten and DACGYS to secure racing eiqwrience and win money.

The Trilro Raceway "under new and energetic management. put in a first class plant with particular

is on the lighting. Their first night program was held on July 9th and continued until Aug- ust. 81st. People soon came to like the innovation and attendances new steadily larger as the season progressed, culminating with rec- ord attendances during ‘Exhibition Week. Great. credit. is due to blu-

pitomotcrs and (he officials for having inaugurated this forward atop in Turing and giving the.

horsemen of Nova Scntia and, the other province; greater opportun- ity to race and nrld to the enlil- lngs. of their stahier. Due to the night racing more horses were trained and campaigned than in any previous ywir we have record of and the amount ram-ii for ill the Maritimcs was over 5170.000.

an gggregoitb attendance oi over 18.000. Another record was protb- ably established at Truro during one o! their Exhibition afternoon and night. racing programs. A con- servative estimate is that upwards oi half a million people paid aid- mission to the Maritime races and many thousands listened over the radio to the vivid accounts o4 the

broadcasters. As usual there was considerable excitement engendered by the

close finishes but arguments end- ed when photos were taken at. tracks equipped with the God-trey Photo Finish. It and the Starting Gate have been two of the. most forward. innovations known w harness racing in recent years. Starting Gates were in operation all over the Maritime: with Char- lottetown and Truro using them eioclizsively. The Charlottetown Starting gate was silso operated at all other tracks on the Island circuit. with Bill MaicAusland at the controls and Russell Abbott as Starter it proved popular with horsemen and spectators and no one would think of going back to the old methods now.

Fifty-seven Miles k1 2.10 or Better

There was quite. an increase in the number of 2.10 miles trotted or paced the past. season compar- ed with the previous year in which 42 were registered. However. the all time high was in i947 when 98 were stepped in that time. The increase can bs credited to Char- lottetown and Moncton tracks. the former where night racing was featured gave encouragement to fast classes and thereby increased their total oif fast miles.
