held too long or could not win. Mari
posa was punished on the home
stretch, but Irene kept her lead, with
the Santa Barbara mare close on her
quarters. The wind up was very ex-
citing. Irene won by length, Mari
posa second, and Target two lengths
behind, apparently held hard.
SECOND HEAT-POOL SELLING.
In pool of S94, Target and Irene
sold for $40 each, and Mariposa sold
for Sl4.
There was considerable delay about
starting and after various attempts they
got away, Irene leading, Target second,
Mariposa last. Mariposa drew ahead,
having come up and run 100 yards
neck and neck with Irene. Target lay
behind, but drew up before the quar-
ter pole. AT the quarter Mariposa led
by three lengths, Irene second and
Target behind. Time, 261 seconds.
Mariposa kept her lead, but Target
passed Irene and took second place.
Between the quarter and half mile a
blanket would have covered the lot,
Mariposa still showing the blue jacket
a few feet ahead of the others. The
half mile was made in SO seconds.
Both Target and Irene now came with
rush, passing Mariposa at the three
quarter pole. Irene drew slightly
ahead, but OH entering the home-
stretch they Were all well together.
Irene kept her lead and landed in
1:49!, winning by a clear length.
Mariposa's chances were lost, and her
rider brought in three lengths behind
the winner without any unnecessary
punishment. At the close of this heat
large number of visit tors left on ac-
count of the lateness Of the hour.
This is the fifth time that Irene and
Target have met. Irene was victor
iOus on two occasions, and Target on
two. Mr.. Roses friends congratulated
him warmly on his mare winning two
straight heats. eeg Hegt p 81
The horses came up at five minutes
past five, but considerable time was
spent in false starts. AT last, when
they did get off, Irene led, Target was
pulled hard and second, and Mariposa
last. Then MaripOsa and Irene got
neck and neck at the half-mile pole,
Target holding his own behind. A
change occurred MaripOsa leading.
This gave rise to considerable excite
ment. But Mariposa was passed by
Irene. Irene led at the half-mile.
Target commenced gaining rapidly on
Irene. Voice on the track, II bet Tar
get wins the heat!") Target now passed
Irene. Voices on the track, "Will
you bet Target don't win.n cat this
juncture Mr.. Rose backed his mare,
when she was second, that she
would win the race. Irene and
Target were neck and neck on the
home stretch, but Target got
in about half q length of Irene at the
line; Mariposa very short distance
behind. There was great excitement
on the conclusion of the heat and
throwing up of caps and cheering.
