From the paper headlines: Retour des courses de chevaux: un succès inespéré Les courses de chevaux ont effectué leur retour à Trois-Rivières, dimanche. Si les organisateurs espéraient obtenir une salle comble de 3000 personnes, c'est finalement une foule estimée à 6000 amateurs qui s'est présentée à l'hippodrome. |
