Sports, alvrays an attraction at
Keter Fall Fair, will be in the
limelight again this year.
The feature attraction will be
a 2.28 trot or pace horse race.
The purse is $200 and quite a
number of horses is expected.
There'll be three heats.
Other favourites of the crowd
in past years have been the road
horse races and the Shetland
pony races. These should be just
as exciting this year.
Boys and girls will have their
fun competing for prizes in foot
and bicycle races. One of the
most exciting contests is the
hoys’ half mile open race which
has a goodly number of contend
ers. Both boys’ and girls’ bicycle
races are open and running races
are divided into classes of 10
and under and 14 and under.
Shetland Ponies
Big Attraction
Exeter Fair is making a name
for itself for the popularity of
its Sheland pony competition.
Last year, according to judge
Roy Stevenson, of Dresden, the
class was the biggest he’d seen■
all year—and he’d judged a lot
of them.
Entries are attracted from
London, Atwood, Goderich, Mit
chell, New Hamburg, 'Woodstock
and Seaforth, Even more are ex
pected this year.
Local promotor of this class
is Richard Etherington, whose
father, Albert Etherington, has
a keen interest in the ponies.
He has about a dozen on his
farm and lets the kids ride on
them. On fail' days and special
days in the town, he sets up a
ring for rides on the grounds to
entertain the younger folk. He’ll
have the ponies at Exeter fair
and, as usual, they’ll be a big
drawing card.
