The earth is dug out as fast as the trucks can take it away and the excavating is almost complete. The reservoir will be 62 x 62 ft. outside measurement and 12 ft. deep with a capacity of a quarter of a million gallons of water, A pump house for pumping the water to the standpipe at the rear of the Town hall will be included. Five tenders were received by the public Utilities Commission for the work ranging in price from $10,583 to $13,500.

In the meantime workmen have built a cement catch basin at the spiings oil the new’ly acquired prop­ erty east of Exeter and are making splendid headway in gathering the water.

Over 2,000 fans ■ witnessed the races and three spills • during the atternoon added to the ■ excitement. The last accident which occurred during the final heat al- ■ most ended in a tragedy, Clint. ’ Hodgins riding behind Jack R. Grat­ tan in the final heat of the 2.18 pace- : was in second place with several horses trailing one after another. The,.horse stumbled throwing the driver *and two others piled on top in quick succession. Hodgins was pulled out and it was first thought that he had been, critically injured. The horse he was driving limped away .from the scene and it was first thought he had broken a leg but it later developed that the shoulder- blade was broken. Three of the carts were broken but the other horses and drivers escaped injury. A large crowd soon gathered at the spot. In one of the elimination h&ats early in the- afternoon Hodgins was thrown clear over the horse’s head when it stumbled. He was later thrown from the sulky in front ol the grandstand during the start of a race. In the 2.27 pace there were 13 en­ tries and in the three-year-old pace there were 12 entries and both re­ quired an elimination heat. The pari-mutuels were busy and the biggest pay-offs were on Betty Direct in the .first heat of the 2.18 pace. iShe paid off at $95.20 on a $2.00 bet, In the three-year-old pace Victor Lee paid off at $66.30 for place.
