At Labor Day Race Meet In Goderich By G. O'B. Over two .thousand people wit- nessed a keenly -contested program of harness horse racing here on Monday afternoon as the Goderich Trotting Association joined with the Goderich Trades and Labor Coun- cil to present their third annual Labor Day program. Although some of the big name horses were missing, the meet did not lack interest as almost every heat was a thriller. The outstanding horse of the afternoon was Lena's 13r,y, the four-year-old pacer owned by Reg. McGee & Sons, of Goderich, and driven by Lloyd Turvey. '1'liis pacer won both heats of the 2.18 class easily and went the first heat in 2.09, the fastest time of the afternoon. Belle Direct, owned by O. L. Parr of London, chased Lena's Boy home in the first heat, but had to go all out to beat Nancy, Patch for the place position in the - second heat. - Betty Jane' Brooke, owned by George German, of Clinton, cap- tured top money in the non -win- ners of $2500 class, by taking a second and first. Donnie G. Lee, another Parr• owned horse won the first heat, but broke in the stretch to finish. third in the final session. The non:winners of $1200 class was probably the most keenly con- tested race of the afternoon, with Ima Chips,- - owne d and 'driven by Bud Jerry of Goderich, emerging as the: eventual winner, with a first and °second. Norval Brooke, owned by Dr. Houze . of- Mitchell finished fifth in the first heat after leading most of the way, but came back to capture the final heat by a length. Gardner Brothers' Sylvia Lee, driven by Bill Gardner, was in the thick of the battle all the way in finishing second and third. Wilson Oke's mare, Ada Mc- Lennan, proved the best of .the non -winners of $400 class by win- ning both' heats handily. Darlene Day, owned and driven by Torn Yearly was second each trip. Merry Brooke, owned by Alvin Cook of Stratford -was the winner of the non -winners of $200 class with a first and second, but George Feagan's two-year-old. colt, Pat Lee Grattan, won a -lot of admirers by capturing his maiden victory in the second heat by several lengths after finishing third in the first heat. - The colt was ably handled by Harry Feagan. Another. Goderich-owned two- year-old, The G. Boy, owned by Reg. McGee & Sons and driven by Lloyd Turvey, impressed with a fourth and third his first time out. Non -Winners of $200—Purse $300.
