All over the age of 40, these men and women were Kinsmen and Kinettes during the 1970s, when the dubs established racing in Clinton; and in 1977 when they saved the young industry from certain death by taking on the formidable task of raising nearly $300,000 in less than three months, to build a new grandstand when the old one ,was condemned. K-40 president Ron Jewitt presented the K-40-K-ettes cooler to Don Beatson and Jim McCarthy of Granton, after their filly won the pace in 2:02 three-fifths, in a surprise rush from the top of the, stretch with Steve Bossance at the helm. In the day's secondary feature, trainer - driver Randy McLean was never seriously threatened as he brought G.G. limbo home in 2:02 four-fifths to win the final round of the Clinton-Goderich Pacing Series for owner Lionel Arbour of Goderich. It was the 3 -year-old Super Wave colt's sixth win in seven starts, including both previous legs of the annual pacing stake for $3,050. This colt will definitely bear watching in the future. Once again, Seaforth homes dominated the card, as Johnny Muir drove old reliable Out All Knight to a 2:07 one-fifth victory in the 10th, her fastest time of the season. The aged mare is owned by Brian Glanville of Egmondville and trained by Bruce Lamont. Muir also piloted the stud Sweet Noble to a hard-won victory in the ninth for owner Laverne Robson of Dublin. In the second race, Seaforth homes pressed hard for winning money coming off the top turn four wide only to see trainer -driver Dennis Morrissey of London inch his own pacer J.C. Pearl to top spot. Seaforth steeds K.M. Bertola (Muir), Greyfriar's Faye (Dale Kennedy) and Merrywood Liz (Ross Battin) came in second, third and fourth respective- ly. Both of Rene Dupuis's horses, Ray McLean up, appeared, headed for the winner's circle in their races, but both had to settle for second when Armbro Bryan got parked wide in the fifth, and the sixth went a shade 'too wide for the colt Star Buck Lee, who pressed the winner, W ilco's Centrefold, hard from wire to wire. For old-fashioned harness racing at it's very best, be sure to catch the Trainer's Working 'in the dark' is not easy It has been a bit of a blessing in the last week (since I got back from holidays) to have someone on staff who is experienced in the art of film development and ,photo process- ing. For the first time in five n' onths it meant I was able to trade off duties in what can be the sometimes nauseating environment of the darkroom, what with the chemicals and all. It is somehow placating or should I say gratifying to know someone besides yourself is locked in that 10 foot by three foot space, in total darkness, with nothing for company but some jugs of D76, fixer and photo -flow, a million or so negatives and some somewhat • tempermental pieces of photo equipment — and doomed to remain there. until every last photo needed for the paper is completed and to perfection, or until they pass out, whichever comes first. Now granted some days are better than others, but then again some days are considerably worse: At the time I'm writing this column my cohort Pat has the pleasure of being in the grips of the darkroom, and as the minutes progress his cries of anguish seem to indicate his mood is taking on the characteristics of the room he's in •• dark. I suppose I should take some of the blame for the trouble he's experiencing in the dark room. The entire week has been a disaster for me as far as photo taking has gone. With the memories of my holiday still lingering in my mind I was rather slow getting back in a working frame of mind.

You see I forgot to change the setting on my camera to correspond to the environment I was taking the photographs in. And the result of that was quite a number of badly overexposed negatives. . But one of the miracles of black and white film is the mistakes can often be corrected in the darkroom. The only problem is of course the mistake -fixing is often time consuming. and very frustrating. And while the results aren't always as good as we'd like them they work. Now for Pat today my poor excuses for films are only one of a number of problems he's experiencing in the darkroom. And while I sympathize with him I also have to chuckle when everything he touches seems to malfunction. No doubt when I take my turn in the dark I'll go through the same horror story. Until then I guess I can only offer this explanation, that whatever strange and wonderful phenomena is taking place in the darkroom it has only to be Pat's initiation into the working aura of The Huron Expositor. Other than that I guess the only thing I can do is keep the smirk off my face - at least until' Pat can't see it. Derby at the Seaforth pall Fair on Flriday, September 20.

Clinton's Hoot Gibbings drove his own mare Harlo Candy to a photo -finish win in 2:07 two-fifths, a new personal best as Candy won her second of the season in Clinton. Randy Henry reined W indspun to a close second place for owner -trainer August Degroof of Clinton, who recently claimed the 7 -year-old bay mare from Alice Colquhoun of London; and a new filly from the Paul Taylor stable came in third to Wilco's Centrefold's 2:05 one-fifth win. She is owned by Don Carter and driven by Gerry Sloan. ne guuu uvwats-expected this Sunday, for Clinton's final day of racing this season.
