conditions Of the race.
For the first heat Billy got the pole,
Slumbers second, and Goose outside. II
was an interesting heat. Goose took the
lead and kept it for quarter, where BUY
tackled him, and tho goose breaking, ne
went ahead, SAUNDERS breaking and fall
inc behind, on the third quarter there
was an opening Of fifteen or twenty
lengths between Billy and Goose and
Goose and SlumberS. They passed the
stand in this order, Billy winning in 2:423
In the second heat the Goose took the
pole on the curve, and soon drew two
lengths ahead, Slumbers seven or eight
behind. They kept the same positions
until around on the stretch by the stand,
when SAUNDERS broke and fell twenty or
thirty lengths behind. Goose and Billy
held their positions and gained on Stun
bers, whose driver put him Into run under
the whip 10 save the distance. On the
homestretch Goose and Billy had tussle
for the heat, but Goose finally won, after
q fine burst, by half q length, in 2:42t.
Slumbers was inside the distance nag, but
he was declared distanced by the judges,
as he ran nearly aquarter oil mile under
the whip. ,
The third heat between Goose and
Billy was very close and exciting, first
one being ahead and then the other.
They were never two lengths apart dur
ing The entire heat The race down the
homestretch TO the finish was very fine
one, but was finally won by Goose, in
2:42.

breaks IN the last hall, and lost several
lengths, which he could not recover, and
Billy finally won by one length, in 2;42t,
passing the score under q strong pull.
In the fifth heat the Goose stood no
chance as he was evidently tired out,
