MIDGETT MADE
FASTEST TIME
Loytl B. Won Prom Pok>~
Wlndsor Maid Took Race
From Little Straight
The twenty-fifth, the date for the
race* came, and now is an event in
the history of the town. In spite
of the predictions for steamy wea
ther the day was an ideal autmnal
one, and one that bronght pleasure
for people irom every sections of
the county, and for the surrounding
counties as well. Early in the
morning the people began to arrive
some coming for the races only,
aud some to bring tobacco, for the
day was an event in the tobacco
world as well as in the world of
s|iort.
The dav being such a pleasant
one, the morning was spent by the
people In going around the town,
some shopping, acme speaking to
their iriends, and some driving.
Everyone was anxious to talk
stout the races, and all up and
down the street could be seeu
groups of men talking about the
horse that was going to win. Every
thing was full of enthusiasm. The
true lovers of the racing sport were
out on the track all during the
morning, some practicing their
horses, some looking on, and some
making efforts to improve the track.
The whole town, especially around
the warehouses where the tobacco
sales were going on, presented a
busy scene, and one which showed
that the people were enjoying
themselves.
Before one o'clock the gates of
the park were open, and hundreds
of people rushed in. At one thirty
the music of the approching band
told all the assembled crowd that
it was soon time for the races to
begin. By the time the baud ar
rived the grand stand was comp
letely filled and there were enough
people to fill three others of the
same size. The people were chat
tering gayly, the breezes blowing
enough to make it pleasant, and
playing sweetly made
every one there feel it was good to
be living. The Judges mounted
the stand, and soon the bell was
sounded for the races to begiu.
The following horses were enter
ed: Midgett, R. T. Puivis. Rol>
ersonville; Brigadier, T. P- Simp
son, Williamston; Loyal 8., W. E.
Warren, Williamston; Polo, J. B
Gilliam, Windsor; Dexter W., D.
L. White, Windsor; Little Straight
A. R. Mixell, Williamston; Wind
sor Maid, F. M. Dunstan, Windsor.
•, In the 3:00 class, trot or pace,
M'dgett won three straight heats,
time 2.16, 2:11, 2:i2;purse $25.00.
In the «:2o da* trot, purse SSO,
Loyal B. won. The first heat was
a dead heat, time
2:17; Pole second, Dexter W. third.
In the 2:20 trot or pace, purse
SSO there was only one heat finish
ed, Windsor Maid winning that in
*:2 O. The second heat of this race
was not completed owing to the
breaking down of Mizell'a sulky.
This promised to be the most excit
ing of all the heats. Windsor
Maid had won the first heat and on
the second beat Little Straight
seemed to have it all his way till
turning into the home stretch
on the first .half he threw a tire.
Mizell refuted to let his horse go
again and the race was given to
Windsor Maid.
The event closed after having
delighted the hundreds of people
itfaf &ame to Williamston. Noth
ing unpleasant happened to make
the day disagreeable; every one
was in good spirits and seemed to
enjoy the occasion to the greatest
extent.
It was a fitting close for the dying
summer, and one which on account
of its pleasant features, be re
membered for many years. The
next races for Williamston have
not been announced, but many
peaple in Williamston will be in
terested to know that autumn races
in Windsor, our sister town, will
be held on the second of October.
The Williamston Brass Band as
sisted by Messrs. Tom Lumsden of
Raleigh; Sam Forties of Washing
ton; J. Swynson of Tarboro; How
ard Dixon of Rocky Mount, ren
dered music for the occasion. The
visiting musicians were formerly
