 ever seen at Lexington. 



Geers was one of the first drivers that took up 

 trailing. Now every one is doing it. Sometimes it is 

 almost impossible to get anyone to go out and make 

 the pace. At such times the clip is so slow that the

 cannot be avoided if there are not one or two front 

 runners in the field. 



BAY STATE CIRCUIT OF 1928 



The fifteenth renewal of the Bay State Circuit 

 went on record as the wet series. Five of the seven 

 meetings were interfered with by rain while at 

 Greenfield and Springfield the meetings were cut to 

 one day. 



The colt races for the trotters and pacers were the 

 most attractive events in the circuit but they were 

 overshadowed at both Avon and Windsor by the 

 ?10,000 and the $25,000 pace. The latter, which 

 was won by Grattan Bars after a stout battle with 

 Widow Grattan was one of the best races ever seen 

 on a New England track. Every feature in con-
