Large Entry Booked For Exeter
Races; Purses Set At $2,400
Greys Whip Lucan
The Exeter girl’s softball team
played against the Lucan Jun
iors on Tuesday night. Chalking
up the first casualty when Ess-
ery slid to the home plate and
twisted an ankle. Although the
Greys were far ahead all the
way, the Lucan players showed
promise and should be able to
hold their own if faced with an
other team of their own age
group.
Exeter will play Dashwood on
Friday in town and since both
teams have the same number of
points, an exciting game is ex
pected.
With record purses and a large
entry in all classes, the Exeter
Turf Club is looking forward to
the best races that they have
ever sponsored, next Wednesday,
July 11.
Purses this- year total $2,4Ob',
the largest in the Club’s history.
There are some outstanding en
tries in the 3-year-old class,
among them being, Miss Donna
Direct owned by Mr. John
Morrissey and Argyl Grattan,
owned by Mr. Dune Campbell of
Ailsa Craig and Vi Hy owned by
Mr. Leverington of St. Thomas. Vi
I Hy and Argyl Grattan have been
strong contenders in this class at
the meets this season, and the
spectators will see a great race
with these colts.In addition to the 3-year-old*
there is a 2,28, 2.24 and a free-
for-all. The 2.28 is definately as
sured of a large entry and
among other good entries there
is Andy Grattan owned by Mr.
Thomas Yearley who was first
and second in the' two heats at
Strathroy races, July 2, pacing
the mile in the fine time of 2.13.
The 2.24 class is practically
filled and there are among others
such good entries as Exeter Lady
and Lord Mike both owned by
Mr. John Morrissey and Barbara
Ann Grattan owned by Mr. Pol
lock, of Greenway. These three
horses were all in the money at
Strathroy on July 2 and this
should be a fine race.
In the free-for-all there is
Huron Express owned by Gard
ner Bros, of Goderich and Miss
Corporal Grattan owned by Mr.
Omar Cunningham of Clande-
boye. There are other good en
tries in this class and there
should be some whirlwind finish
es.
The track is without doubt one
of the best in Western Ontario
and the spectators are assured of
accommodation in the covered
grand stand. There will be bet-
ing privileges on the grounds.
Tory Gregg the popular broad
caster over C.K.N.X. Wingham
will do the announcing and good
starts will be assured by the
Climie-Whitesell Starting Gate.
All that is needed is good
weather to make this the most
successful race meet ever held in
Exeter.

TO ALL RESIDENTS OF
Zurich - Dashwood
Grand Bend And Districts
WHO OWN 25-CYCLE
4
CLOCKS OR FANS
Unlike most of your 2 5-cycle electrical appliances, portable electric
clocks and fans cannot be changed over to 60-cycle on your premises.
Some older models cannot be changed over at all! For this reason your
Hydro has opened a special CLOCK and FAN DEPOT (see below)
where you may take advantage of one of the TWO SPECIAL PLANS
Outlined here.
EXCHANGE PLAN
Under this plan, for a very small ’exchange price’ you may exchange your
present 25-cycle clock or fan for a brand new 60-cycle model. All you
, have to do is turn in your old clock or fan at the Depot, make a selection
from the wide variety of 60-cycle models on display, and pay the very
small 'exchange price’ in cash. All items brought in for exchange must be
in working condition.
CHANGE-OVER PLAN
If your present 25-cycle clock or fan CAN be changed over to 60 cycles*
and if you wish to have this done instead of exchanging it for a new
60-cycle model, the work of converting it will be done FREE OF
CHARGE. This change-over service will take about two weeks and you
will be notified when the item is ready.
IMPORTANT!
This Clock and Fan Depot will be open for a LIMITED TIME ONLY!
It will be closed as soon as the change-over work in your district is
completed. To avoid being inconvenienced PLEASE COOPERATE BY
BRINGING IN YOUR CLOCK OR FAN -AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Thank you.
