. Coming 1909 : Brockton Fair, Oct. 5-6-7-8. Horses; Exhibitions; Horse shows. •2l^-t-O-c/riA^^ru^ C^cCc^ /icAyu-:^ 17 Athletics S'kot>'ii^.^^??laAaMori^ The Brockton Fair Management has watched with great satisfaction the growth of its Athletic Department, and it has more than kept pace this year by not only building a tra:ck and equipment for this year but for years to come. Now a quarter of a mile track, as fine as any in New England, stands as a monument to their efforts, with its rolled cinder path, and interior facilities for football, basket-ball, and all classes of field sports. Of course it has a name and what better than The Robin- son Field could be suggested? Thus will the name of the late honored president be perpetuated. Notice too that the games take place Thursday this year in- stead of the last day but there will be basket-ball, football and the great and only Brockton Marathon on the last day, and an Association game of football on Wednesday. Regular chil- dren's Day program of course. There will be no interruptions this year and Chairman Horace A. Keith and his committee will keep things moving on Rob- inson Field. They have also added three events to take up some of the time gained. The high and low hurdles and a mile handi- cap have been added. THE SECOND ANNUAL MARATHON The great success of last year in the outcome of the great- est of the Greek races has led to making the Marathon a per- manent feature and about the same program as last year will be followed out, starting from the B. A. A. rooms and finishing with a few circuits of the local track. Full particulars will be printed on the entry blanks and any further information in regards to the program can be had from Mr. Horace A. Keith of 26 Pinkham Street, Brockton, Mass.
