THE START
Was a beautiful one, the three ANIMAL
going all in bunch over the score. A
they turned down the first quarter Betty
West appeared in the front, Emms
Jones second and Sunshine in the rear
They kept this position until they
reached the quarter pole, when Sun
shine challenged Emma for her place
and took it easily. She then made
squirt for Betty but that young lady was
not prepared to receive company, and
she passed the half mile two lengths
ahead, making it in 81 seconds. From
this point the horseracing commenced
between Sunshine and Betty. The
former made a desperate rush for the
first place, as they opened on the home
stretch, but all in vain. Betty had the
foot of her antagonist, and won the heat
by full length. Emma Jones being 8
bad third. Time, 1851.
When the heat was ended Betty Vests
rider found it impossible to stop his ami
NAL and she ran mile and half before
she could be stopped, making her first
heat two miles and half in length.
SECOND HEAT.
This was another fine send off. Sun
shine shot out from the score like an
arrow and took the lead, but had hardly
got warm in her place before the gal
liant Betty took it and kept it without
challenge until they had made
the three quarter pole, when Sun
shine made a bold brush for her,
and the struggle down the homo
stretch was exciting. Betty, however,
passed the score with Sunshine's nose
at her flank. The half mile was made
in SO and the mile in 1:54.
In order to save time, it was deter.
mined to send off the horses for the
trotting race between running heats.
For the trot the entries were the b. m.
Lady Mitchell, bl. s. Clarion and b. 8.
Champion. In drawing for place
Champion won the pole, Clarion Sec
ond and Lady Mitchell outside.
The black stallion had about half a
length start, but he soon made it two
lengths, and the three trailed around
the half mile in l:25. The positions
were not changed during the heat, and
Clarion won the heat by FIVE lengths in
2:54, Champion second and the mare at
his collar.
At the conclusion of this heat the
running horses were called up for the
THIRD HEAL.
Betty West and Sunshine only ap-
peared at the tap of the drum, Emma
Jones being withdrawn. There was
not an inch difference between the
horses at the start, and at the word
go" they sped down the quarter
stretch. At the turn ESunshine shot to
the front and soon showed daylight be-
tween them in plenty. Betty tmade a
bush on the chestnut. as they reached
the quarter, and they came down for
the second quarter side and side, max
ing the half mile in SO seconds. The
heat was evidently Sunshines from the
time they entered on the third quarter,
though Betty never left the saddle
skirt of her opponent. The race down
the home stretch was beautiful one'
Every inch of ground was gallantly
contested, Sunshine winning the heat
by half length only, in 1:54t.
The second heat Of the trotting race
was but repetition of the first. The
start was a splendid one. Clarion shot
out to the front and kept his place all
the way round. The race was between
Lady Mitchell and Champion, for the
second place. The half mile was made
in l:27, and the mile in 2:J5.
The running horses were called, at the
conclusion of the trot, for the
FOURTH HEAT.
After a false start the horses got O
good send off, Betty about half length
in advance. Betty West having run
away with her rider at the conclusion
of every heat. it was the general opin'
ion that Sunshine would win the race
but Betty was never challenged for hel
place during the heat, and she won it il
1:57, and the race. The following is the
SUMMARY.
