Jim Fair's stout-hearted brown geiding came up with a blistering stretch drive today to win the filth annual running oi the historic 810,000 add- ed King's Plate, with its purse oi 60 guineas donated by the King. Lord Pairmond, from the Win- nipeg stable oi Jim speers. was second and W. J. Fewsters‘ colt Jgeysfiomber was third in the field o 1. A Victoria Day crowd oi near 50.000 saw Last Mark race’ the 1 1-8 miles in 1:52 flat, a Plate record but not a. track record for the dis- tance. Last Mark, fleet son of Koenigs- mark out of McTab-last oi his line and so named because of his she's death after he was ioaied—wa.s es.- pertly ridden by young Howard Bailey. Rated off the pace over the first half, Last Mark took the lead in tho stretch turn and pulled away steadily. Lord Fairmond. third choice in the betting, took second money by less than a length over Joey Bomb- er, the bay gelding that started as a. 4 to 1 shot and led in the early going. Victory was worth $11,710 to Fair, the Cainsvilie, 0nt., breeder and owner, in addition to the 50 gulneas. Of that $700 was for breeding the winner and the remainder was the win pool. comprising $10,000 given by the Ontario Jockey Club and the subscription money paid by the starters since they were nominated ' 18 months ago. It was the first time that Fair had seen his orange and green silks carried to victory in the King's Plate, run annually since Queen Victoria first donated the guineas in i860. Last Mark started at odds of 5 to 2. paying $7.05 for a $2 winning ticket. Bailey, the young Jockey wh0 ode his first Plate winner, guided e brown gelding home in 1.8 seconds better than Uttermosts record time for the Plate, set in 1944.

FO-UO-O-§O-4» PHONE'36,Z 24-HOUR SERVICE i l i Despite the fact they were able to win but one event while plac- ing in several others the team of Island High School athletes that took part in the Acadia Relays at Woliville on Saturday afternoon gave a good account of themselves and Walter LePage, acting coach of the ten-man squad was loud in his praise oi the efforts put forth by the Island youngsters. O O I l Short of training due to the weather and faced by track and field students with plenty of ex- perienco the Island representa- tives \veren‘t by any means out- classed. They made a fight of it all the way and in a great many of the events placed men in the finals only to lose out by slim margins in the final tests. I O O But in the words of coach Le- Page the entry of the Island boys into the event was a good start in the attempted revival of track and field sports here. Saturday's team showed plainly they have the ability and had they been able to whip themselves into better con- dition the result might have been far different. However there is a long season stretching ahead and once the weather clears and the Memorial Field track is ready these same youngsters together with the seniors that will be per- forming will he able to hold their own with athletes in the Mari- limes. taut Youngsters in Kenslngton and vicinity are also showing much in- terest in this branch of athletics. With work underway on the new athletic grounds at Kensingion this same interest has become more pronounced and once the field is put into shape people bc- hind the movements such as “Big Jim" Pendergast and others are expecting a regular onslaught on the grounds. v a a It is not only in the City that athletes are bred.
