Among the many activities activities that highlight the fair each year, some of the top crowd attractions are the sporting events. Included in the big three events are the demolition derby, the hunter show, and the harness racing. racing. Demo Derby ■ The ' Demolition Derby, back for its second consecutive consecutive year, will kick-off the sporting events on Friday night. The derby will have a new look this year, as Thrill Show Productions from London, London, Ont. will take over the show from an American company that operated last year's event. "It didn't work out well last year because the rules 1 for derbys in the States differ differ from the ones used in and the committee expects to exceed that number this year. "When I started with the committee three years ago, there were only three sponsors," sponsors," began Ms Porter. "We now have a sponsor for every every class." "We are actually one of end. This year's derby has 30 cars entered. They will be divided into three heats of ten cars. Trophies and prize money of $800 is up for grabs. "There are mostly local people entered, and it's been sold out for a couple of weeks now," said Mr. Locke. "I'm still getting calls from people who want to get in." The show is always a big crowd pleaser, and this year promises to be no different. All the action gets under way at 7:30 p.m., but Mr. Locke warns: "If you are looking for a seat, you'd better better be there by six." Hunter Show This year's hunter and jumper show will be just, as' big or even bigger than last year's event promises organizer organizer Gail Porter. Last year, the competi- ' tion attracted 100 entrants, . , - ly held on Thanksgiving week- j the better fairs lor prize money," she continued. "We also have trophies and plaques for all of the different different classes." Ms Porter has been involved involved in the sport of horse jumping all her life, and explained explained that after quitting lor a short period of time, she began again when she moved out to Orono from Mississauga. It's a great sport if somebody wants to meet people;,shq claims. "What makes our show special is the amount of sponsorship we receive each year," she said. "I usually begin calling in February, but now people are calling me asking if they can be a sponsor." The hunter show begins on Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m., and continues throughout throughout the day on the infield of the race track.

ADtia|iw" racing card on Friday night would signify the beginning of the fair. But the lighting at the track became too dangerous for the horses. So, for the past seven or eight years, the harness racing racing card on Sunday afternoons afternoons has brought the curtain curtain down on the four-day event. Sean Winning, who is the race secretary for this year's races, hopes to keep up the strong reputation tne races have earned. "The purses we have are some of the best on the Ontario Ontario fair circuit," said the S 'ade 12 student at Clarke igh School. "But I'm having having a bit of a problem filling the card this year because the cost of the sport is getting getting so high." Mr. Winning explained that because the cost of racing racing horses is so high, many of the owners are getting rid of the weaker horses in their stables. He hoped to get some more horses for the Orono Fair following the races at the Port Perry Fair that was held this past weekend. "Our two big races this year will be the Lawrence Hooey Memorial and the Ina Brown Memorial Pace," he said. "Each of those races will offer a purse of $650." Post time on Sunday afternoon afternoon is 1:30. by Maurice Landry The Town of Newcastle Baseball Association Tyke Rep team sponsored by the Bowmanville Sports Shop played in the Ontario Base- _ ball Association Championship Championship tournament this past weekend in Markham. From the first game it was obvious the quality of players which make up the opposition were going to give our pitchers a rough time on the mound. Biyan Landry , started and threw the opening four frames for the Orioles, giving giving up four hits while striking striking out five. Brett Forsey, ' who received credit for the win, took a 12-6 lead into the fifth and pitched two- and-two-thirds innings before before Landry came back in to stop a Markham rally in the seventh and save an Oriole 15-13 victory. The Orioles banged out 19 hits, led by Scott MacDonald MacDonald with four, Paul Drummond with three, Danny Danny MacDonald, Brett Forsey, Forsey, Bryan Landry, Phillip Paterson had two each, and Richard Baker, Nicholas Michno, John Line and Bryan Hudgin had one apiece. ' In the second game, the Orioles started Scott Mac- Donald against Streets ville. Scott was getting only his third start since coming off an arm injury which had sidelined him for almost half the season. Scott pitched well, giving up only one hit in the first three innings and the Orioles were only trailing 4-2. However in' the fourth, Scott lost his control which, combined with three Oriole errors, allowed Streetsville to push across six runs and an eventual 12-2 victory. The Oriole players for the only time this season did not swing the bats and only Nicholas Michno's two hits and single hits by Paul- Drummond and Richard Baker were able to do any damage. Facing elimination in this double knockout tournament, tournament, the Orioles started Bryan Landry against St. Catharines. Bryan was eligible eligible to throw only three innings innings and ■ did reasonably well against a strong hitting St. line up. The orioles were only trailing by a 6-4 score after three innings. St. Catharines were determined determined they were not going going to be eliminated but Brett Forsey, who had become become our ace reliever during August, was not able to hold the opposition in check. Bryan Hudgin came on in the' sixth inning and finished finished the season strongly for the Orioles. The final score was in favour favour of St. Catharines 18-7. Top hitters for the Orioles Orioles were Bryan Landry with four hits, Paul Drummond Drummond and Danny MacDonald MacDonald had two hits each, and single hits went to Nicholas Michno, Scott MacDonald and Brett Forsey.
