Surprise Wins Feature Second Day Of Meet

The largest attendance since the Exhibition opened in 1889 was the statement made by the President oi the Association yesterday afternoon tn thanking the big audience for their support. It was u beautiful l-fter- noon following a rather cloudy morning. The racing was exceptionally good with some finishes so close that the judges only could pick the winners.

With the exception of a slow start due to the tardy horsemen gett- ing their entries out, the races and vaudeville moved along in good style with the entire program concluding at 5.30 with the super-sensational Great Milos, high aerial act.

There were two accidents that caused s lot of excitement, the first when the pacer Moonglow swerved in the first heat of the 2.18 unseat- ing his driver, running away and crashing into a tree; the second when, at the finish of the 2.17 Trot. Scutty Watson, last horse in the third lieul, struck a young boy who jumped ufer the fence on to the track.

Highlights oi‘ the racing were: the surprise win of Emily Grail-fill over the favorite Bonny Budlong in the 2.22 Pace; the defeat of Hillside Scot by Srotty Watson in the 2.17 Trot: and the wln of the very much over-looked Oliver (iriittan in the 2.16 Trot and Pace.

Harvest Melody sixth, Beziverdale srvcnth, all trot-tiers finishing well. Time 2.15.

Second l-Ieat. This was one of ttie best heats which featured the afternoon, the finishes between the first four horses being of the blanket variety. Paul Abbe break- ing the first turn rccc-vcrrd, lost ground but came through the back stretch flying to a ncse-and-itose finish with Scotty Watson but scotty had a shade the best of it. Driver Power's rest drive earned for him a. great and from his ad- mirers. Ruby Volo third and Hill- side Scott were so clcse on the leaders that it tcok quick work by the judges to ca-ll off l/nelr num. hers; George Mac, Harvest Melody and Beaverdale finished in that order close up, Time 2.14.

His driver took things very easy apparently intszit with winning the race and saving his horse who ‘had also won the previous day.

Ruby Volo was beaten only by inches and the game little har- vest Melody, who so electrified Ex- hibition crowds six years ago when she won the two inst trots on the program and equalled {mo}; record, finished third. had actually finished place but because of breaks the udgee set him beck to fourth; George Mac fifth, Beavordole sixth, Scotty Watson seventh. scotty Watson was back almost. to the distance when he leaders reached the wke and a young boy_ evidently thinking the races had all rounded the turn jumped on the track, Scotty's sulky struck him knocktig him down and injuring his aim. A large crowd gathered qllwkly but the Mounties had tho situation in hand and took the bty to hospital. Driver Earl le felt very badly about it but. was assured that it was entirely the boys fault.

This race furnished the biggest upset in the Maritime racing an- nals this seosorr-why? S.mp1y be. cause Oliver GrB/ttan had not been even o, serious contender 1n any of his starts even against horses of very much lighter cal ibrfl than me field he started in yzsterday.

First heat. They got sway with vciy little scoring to a goon s art. It was a see-saw batzle with the hlE-l-Sblrlled San Ton sprinting for the lead. Uscito Britten got out in the clear in the race for home shaking off a, great drive by San Tom's Johnny Conroy; H31 McKinney end Oliver Gnttan finished V9111’ clcse up—~in fact the first four horses were lined across l-hc truck; MaJor Bowes rind 9155-. dale fifth and sixth.
