James L. Reed. Truro. sends us a clipping from the Springhill Record with interesting facts a- bout the Emfinizhlll track. in 1896 J- R- COWB-HS. Manager of the 51111111101111 coal mine, donated the land on which the track was built and a HUlHUbBT of prominent citiz- ens including F. B. Ryan. Lyman Ryan, Jack Leadbetter. Sol Keiver, H. A. B. Glendenning. built the home stretch as far as the black- smitlfs s-hop of the lalic A. L. Somers. Then Mr. (Iowans took over the task and completed the track and bullt a fence around it

Mr. (Iowans was a great lover of horses and he diid an awful lo‘. for racing ln the Marittmes. H15 favorite driving mare was Kyegje_ one of the most beauthul and fashionable animals that ever stormed on the street. The Cowens horses as they were known. were Brent attractions whenever raced, competing at most of the promin- fnt fairs in the Maiwltlmee also 1n Maine. Prince Edward Island-bred Park Campbello was one of his fastest nnd a great favorite with spectators. In an cffort to wrest tltc laureLs from him A. H. Learmortt. former hotel man 01f Truro. brought Whirligig _2.10. from the United States but it was no good. Park Campbello imitating his antagonist amid the Kretitcst excitement. Another of his best mares was Helen R..Whlch he bought from Jim Keith of Stel- larton. She was also an import; but nerhabs the name that lsbest remembered by old timers is that of Rock Farm Grace. a mare whfch 11c purchased from J R. Inmv c‘ Amherst.
