Of these 125 were in 2.20 or bettter, though but five were faster than 2.15, the smallest num- ber in years and quite a. contrast to the two previous seasons when ex- treme speed was tho feature of the season's records.

Twenty-three horses entered tho 2.80 list, B the 2.20 list and l8 re- duced their records. The fastest rovincial track was by

mile on a the bay gedi Bob Mac, owned y Slfnfps0n rothcrs, Amhersli

‘rhreo of the five heats Diced in 2.15 or bet/fer the past season were by this gelding. In another he divided honors vrith Lacopia 2.09- 1-4, owned and driven by P. A.

The other was by Tommy Cotter, owned by G. n. vsll of Sydney 111d driven by Charlie Sweet, when he reduced his record to 2.14 1-2.

Laco id's mile was also the best mile o the season by a. pricing stal- lion. The fastest. mile of the aes- son paced by s mare was 2.15 l-4 bv the guy more Tonita 0., own- ed by , W. Hill of Sydney and driven by Charlie Sweet. Vanza, owned by Pat Dogherty of Syd- ney, was the fastest more of he year in the provinces, but her win- race 2.13 l-Z was made Maine. Belmont. Miller, owned by R. H. Edwards Of ﬂallfax and driven by Frank Boutlller, was the fastest new-comer amon the pacing geldlngs with his mie in 2.17 3-4 at Halifax.

Tho fastest mile by a tmtlng stallion owned in the Maritimes was Dunholmcs mile in 2.17 1-4 at sllmmersido. He was owned and driven by Hammond Kelly. Bren- ton I-l., owned and driven by G. H. Hooper of Charlottetown, was the fastrst gelding with s mile in 2.17 1-4.
