RACN DAY WOWS DBABRAN CROWD Dhahran's General employe-

e s and their holiday visitors turnedout enmasse for a gala day of donkey, bicycle and foot races at the Dhahran Sports Center last Friday. An estimated crowd of 1500 spectators shouted encourage- ment to their favorites in the twelve events featured during the day, and cheered the win- ners as they stepped up for their prises.

The crowddrew special en- joyment from the donkey r a c e . The little black donkey ridden by Jaffar ibn Ahmad undoubted- ly brokeall burro recorda for the quarter mile. Runner-ui, in affections, if not priaes, was the donkey who refused to compete unless her fuzzy little colt ran with her.

The three-legged races brought many laughs, a s well a s fal1s;but the two-man teams quickly learned to work to- gether andmade an interesting and fast race.

The bicycle races were ex- tremely fast and exciting. Saleh ibnAhmad came through to win by a scant ten yards over Abdur Rahman ibn Fahad.

The interest among compe- titors and spectators alike ran so high on Friday that plans a re already under way for an- other such event in late September.
