Upset Victories Feature Harness Racing Meet

Over 2000 already thrill-soaked harness racing fans received a fur- ther soaking yesterday afternoon when the second meeting of the season staged at Montague track furnished them with spectacular

,driving finishes. battles royal over the entire length of the fast piece of racing dirt and the always pre- sent upset victories as the under-

‘dogs again came through to earn

;an even break in the battles of

,speed between the cream of the

-island trotters and pacer-s.

managed to acquire a new win- race mark, as Col. D. A. MacKin- rnon, back into an active role this

‘season. took her out on the latter

tpart of the second mile of the number two event to head the

, field to the wire in 2.12 2-5, equal-

lling the fastest mile paced all aft-

i, crnoon, but in the other miles the

, winners had to go very. very close

judges‘ stand their second trip around.

Extra Heat Necessary

And in that some class, product- ive of some of the best racing of a great racing card, fans saw three horses come out for an extra heat before Kelly's Nightmare. a rank outsider in capturing the third mile, outirotted the other two heat winners, Vallie Long and Babe Britten. That upset victory preceded Nellie Worthy's equally surprising victory in class number three, the Buell-driven mare head- ing a field of nine starters in all three heats.

Allan Mac in winning the first heat on the card showed worlds of trotting ability in coming through with an expected win. while Harold Cudmore's Prince Bucllong gave the favorites an even break by taking all three miles of number four event. but it was only after the son of Calumet Budlong had offset very stiff chal- lenges every trip out. And Prince proved to a nicety that he has fully recovered.from the serious injury he suffered two seasons ago, an injury that forced him out of the game all last season. _

And adding to the excitement of the afternoon was the spill suf- fered by Teddy Weir in the third heat of the number one event. His horse. Direct Volo went down just as the field was leaving the Wiru but luckily driver Weir and the horse escaped serious injury.

Followers of the pari-mutuel also had their innings when back- ers of Allan Mac and Vallie Long in the daily double were returned $45.00 for each two dollar ticket.

Trotting a storm in every heat. Allan Mac had a l-i-l summary in winning the first race on the card. 1n the first heat after get- ing away far back he moved up to second during the first trlparound and then opened wide at the three quarters. to trot to the front in the stretch. Lily Belle was a close second with Direct Volo moving up to third. In the second mile Allan made every post a winning one and in the final trip again came from behind at the three quarters to trot under the wire first. The battles for the remain- ing positions werefiery close in all heats.

Close Racing

Hard-driving duels in all four miles was the story of Kelly's Nightmares victory in the second class on the card. Vallie Long started matters off by cupping the first heat, moving to the front at the three quarters following s break by Prince Marine. Valley won by a length over Bee Bud- long with Majorie Bpdlong and Just Flicks finishing neck and neck in third and fourth positions. Colonel MacKinnon took Babe Britten into the picturé in the lee- ond mile. Content to trail for

Wllh the Maritimes experiencing for the first time the thrill of holding the Dominion Tennis Championships within their own borders, which are progressing full swing at the present time at Hall- fax. many local enthusiasts are sp- parently not going to miss out on this golden opportunity of seeing Canada's best competing against one another iri really outstanding tennis play, and 1116811)! from the general talk at the moment. many will be leaving for the Hub City over the week-orig to witness the final clashes foi-‘Txmlnion titles.

_ Nellie Worthy. giving her best pacing performance of the season, was invincible in the third event on the card. ln the first trip she drove to the head of the pack at the top of the stretch to win by a length; the second mile was a lit- tle tougher. She made a slight skip at the top of the stretch only to recover quickly and have her nose ahead of Calumet Onward in the photo finish snap. The third mile she led all the way with Cal- umet Onward again being tho runner-up for the third straight heat.

It was Prince Budlong all the way in number four. He slaved off Eva Worthy's courageous clos- ing finish to nip the first mile by a head in a real horse race that saw very,little separating all five entries.

In the sandwich mile it was Ola Budlong who offered the opposit- ion but again Prince had a bit too much in the final race for the wire. The third mils was anti- climax. This time Eleanor G. took up the challenge from the three quarters pole home but she likc Eva and Ola couldn't quite make the grade.

The dash event for non-money winners went to Sir Francis Drake. Nell Cochatodale went a- way on top but in the last part of the mile yielded to Sir Francis‘ heat winning bid. but it was a battle all the way between five horses that came to the wire.
