fair and race officials. It was announced by Orville Pratt, secre-tary-manager of the fair and L. Orville Miller, director of speed, that the stake races would again be postponed until today.

The .motive behind the- announcement was to give the horses, running for some of the richest purses offered in the light harness field, the best possible racing conditions. Barring the| advent of rain, officials stated that when the track was completely dry it would become extremely fast and there was every chance that some records would fall today.

Overnight Races Run But harness racing fans were not completely disappointed yesterday even though, because of the extremely sloppy condition of the track, racing did not get underway until 3:50 p. m., Four overnight races were run off in two-heat affairs with the

$750 for each heat.

Fastest mile of the day, and of the races so far, despite the sloppy track; was. turned in by Paul Vineyard driving So Long, in the 12 Class Pace. He toured the mile in the second heat of the race in 2:08, knocking 4/5 of a second off the time set in the first heat of the race by Scottish Boy with Joe O'Brien at the reins. Crowd Pleaser But the crowd pleaser of the day was Mighty Cox with Del Cameron driving. The 3-year-old brown colt by Volomite out of The Worthy Miss Morris started far back in the field of eight horses in the fourth race of the day, the 20 Class Pace. But he made his bid at the % pole and went flying to the front to win in 2:09 1/5. In the second heat of the race,
