18 INE RACING AT BARRE AIR LAST DAY ATTENDANCE SMALL PORTER CLEVELAND DANCES JIG I Horse Rnces Attract Milch Interest With Jinny Hot Contests Altin Gentry Wins 1 '1 rot reni lint Special Reporter Bakke riday September 27 Not a iwlitieitiu was within the galea of the Barre fairgrounds to dny when the 62d annual fair was closed with the sec ond day's festivities Yesterday's burst of political enthusiasm at which no loss a personage than Gov Woodrow Wilson was present seemed to satiate the polit ical cravings of residents hereabouts and to day the clanging of the starter's bell nt the race course took the place ot campaign speeches Whether the absence Of candidates for office had anything to do with the slackening of the number of attendants at the fair cannot be known but to day's crowd was not more than one third as large us yesterday's Threats of rain probably were responsible for keeping many a new buggy in the shed on the farm instead of bringing it tb the fairgrounds but in spite of the dark wet looking clouds which slid across the heav ens from early morning until midafter noon 1000 horse enthusiasts attached themselves to the fence along the home stretch or sat in the grand stand while the racers raced' To day was primarily a day of races and good races they were too The 61 previous years of the Barre fair have never brought out a better string of pacers and trotters and while to day's spurts of speed did not break any of the track rec ords yet almost every heat was hard fought and there were spectacular finishes each time the speedsters flashed under the wire So many races were on the bill that they were begun at 1030 o'clock instead ot waiting for the afternoon The 230 trot as a sort of special offering opened the matinee It was the slowest and least exciting sprint of the day 'Jinimie a bay gelding owned by Brewster took first place handily in each of the two heats and Boline Young Bingen and Emma IT the other starters finished in the order named both times The best time was in the first heat when the time keepers might the loader under the wire iu 2281 Boline who is A bay mare worked hard for victory but Jimmie was always able to keep in the lead The other three races were the 228 mixed I ho 219 mixed and the 214 mixed All of them showed good racing and weer decidedly not in the cal endar Every heat was bitterly contested The going was hard at times and the track was so full of entries that one or two lucky accidents thrilled the spectators when a wheel broke or the sulkies became entangled on tlie first turn while the driv ers were fighting for positions There were no injuries The two horses which proved the favorites of the day were Plow Boy rank itchburg bay gelding which worked in the 22S Alita Gentry the chestnut mare which gamely fought her way to the wire first in each of the 219 class heats and Bincas the speediest of the 214 entries Plow Boy was too strong for the eight other entries in the 228 which was start ed shortly before noon All nine racers stayed together in wonderful uniformity of speed throughout the race but the itchburg gelding always managed to lead into the stretch on the last turn and never failed 1o come under the wire six feet or more ahead of Othello and King Bogash who fought for second position in most of the heats The fastest time made in the race was 221 The 219 trot and pace which was prob ably the most exciting of the offer ings included 10 entries The running "as close and the 10 swept around the course in a close pack with many hard fought interchanges of position which kept the spectators on their toes Eagle Bird a loan belonging to A Monahan of Worcester was the only horse in the crowd which did not'show signs of win mug at some moment during the three heats Monahan himself appeared in the sulky during the last two heats in a vain a (tempt to make the speedy but flighty pacer settle down to work Throughout most of the distance it seemed as though rhe other drivers combined against the little mare Alita Gentry She has met the same pacers in other fairs for two weeks and has won over them consistent ly To dny she was boxed into holes from which escaiHj seemed impossible in each circle of the track but her marvelous1 end made it possible for her driver to puli behind the pack on the back stretch of the last hip and then spurt around ihe field with a terrific bit of pacing be fore she reached the straightaway toward ihe finish The Tramp another' Worces ter horse owned by Berry and Sphinx James bay from Providence struggled for second place cacti heat with the odds slightly in favor of The Tramp who got two sec onds When the 214 race started spectators in the si amis prophesied that the track record of 214 would be smashed for Im five entries made a great showing in the preliminary workouts The (race de veloped into a battle between Bincas bay stallion Cecilian Belle ami Buster Brown Strongheart a bay gelding from the stables of Kingsley nt Worcester made a good showing in the nrst heat and after leading through the entire race up to the beginning of the hom*o stretch was overhauled by Alita Gentry and bad to be satisfied with a second After that Strongheart went to the bad and took last position at each fin ish' Cecilian Belle with a painful swell ing on the inside of her right knee worked hard in every heat and to be a winner in the last until her game leg almost 'stopped her but as it was she took two thirds ami a second which was enough to win the entire audience to her Buster Brown entered by Noy Green of Worces ter showed a disposition to finish in great form and climbed from fourth to sec ond place as the heats progressed The summaries of the races follow: 230 Trot" limmie I Brewster) liollne (J XV

was won by Miss Elizabeth Henry of Philadelphia: red Nye of Barre second To day's fair program included one or iwo features which rather surprised the visi 1 tors with their novelty One came between heats in the 219 race when Porter Cleve land of ancient dancing fame occupied the center of the track in front of the grand stand and executed a fling step pe culiar to himself while the band play 'd in the Mr Cleveland is almost 90 years old ami his dance has been one of the uundvertised attractions of the fair for years ami years The other stunt wasn in which two or three young nomen and a collection of tow headed youths grabbed frantically nt a couple of white chickens within an inel'i surc Miss Elizabeth Henry of Philadel phia was awarded first prize for alacrity and red Nye of Barre was second Before the end of the afternoon's per formance the rainy skies which had threat ened all day partially cleared and shone down brightly on th expansive fair grounds There wore visitors enough to day only to fill the spaces around the at tractions of greatest interest and the hall which yesterday was filled almost con tinually from morning until night echoed dully with the infrequent footfalls of those who desired to see excellent displays of garden truck grains fruits and handiwork On the the fakirs held forth brazenly were handed out between halves of buns and balloon whistles whined throughout the afternoon The grounds were dusty as all fair ground must be in order to be properly equipped for a cattle show tiny youth lost their mothers and wailed loudly and on the whole nothing was lacking in the show of the Worcester county west fair as sociation The noise continued through the afternoon and when evening ap proached with a clear sundown the tents the flags the straining race horses and the bands melted from the place leaving emptiness behind them In the late even ing after the long line of automobiles and carriages had disappeared down the roads leading away from the show grounds the cloud of dust which has been hanging over this vicinity for two days slowly floated down the valley and night fell marking the close of the 62d annual Barre fair The
