One was the absence from the circuit of most of the pretentious American racing establishments which in the immediately preceding years played au important part in Canadian racing. Naturally, with their absence, there were fewer high-class horses in action on the circuit. Another circumstance that ojierated against record-breaking was the abnormal rainfall, as a lesult of which there was more than the usual amount of racing over wet tracks. It seems, too, that the Ciinadian tracks are not kept in as fast condition as was the case a few years back. The only new Canadian record created during the season was at the infrequently run distance of one mile and twenty yards and went to the credit of the veteran thirteen-year-old Fastoso in winning a race al Mount Itoyal lark, Montreals newest racing plant, September 25. Aside from that the only change wrought in the records was the equaling of the mark for three-quarters of a mile when Peter Sheridans consistent gelding. Back Bay. ran the distance in 1:11 over the Dorval Park track September 10. The complete list of the Canadian records, revised to date, is shown below: Dist. Hcrse. A. Wt. Track. Date.
