Horse Racing in Maine Coming nearer home m tbs state or Maine, which we resemble in the fact that we are great growers of Potatoes and our farmers and peo- pfe have a flair for horse racing, we find that the racing was large- ly confined to the all agricultural fairs. from the middle week in Aug- ust to the 15th oi October.

The duels be- tween Rhineworthy and Billy Btratiimore weze renewed, but the former proved too much for the Strathmore horse this season. They usually stepped the half mile tricks in 2.00 or better.

In addition there were a number of matinee races at various points which were highly successful and greatly enjoyed by the spectators. These matinee races deserve en- couragement because they bring out new horses which eventually become performers for the money. Glancing over the summaries here and therc we find that the fastest heat paced in the Maritimes during the season of 1924 was Toll Game's mile at Charlottetown when he won the second heat ln 2.05 2-4. The fastest heat trotted was that oi Peter Pfrcy at Fredericton, 2.01. The iustest heat made by a pac- ing stallion in the Maritimes was that of Patrick Direct at Montague when he won in 2.0’! i-4.
