Gananoque, Aug. 12.---The races at' the Driving Park yesterday after-| noon were the best Gananoque has | held for many years, and much credit is due the committee, who worked so hard to make them so. The dpy was all that could be de- sired, and, all things considered, it was impossible for them to grant their employees the half-holiday, although the manufacturers went as far as possible in this respect and the departments that could spare their staff at all were "let out." All the merchants also co-operated and let thejr clerks off for the afternoon. Following are the results: 2.85 Class. Margaret Penalty, W, Charles Randall, Napanee .. {Rex Hal, Ted Crag.
