off the honors easily. OF the eleven entries
only three came to the string, Puss Brodnax,
Pauline Sprague and Leap Year. The colts
looked well, but it was evident TO the
most careless observer that it was to be one
sided race. After some little delay they go'
off well together, Leap Year taking the lead al
the first quarter. Puss Brodnax length be-
hind with Pauline Sprague Just IN the rear
Puss however, soon went to the front on the
back stretch Throughout the mile the colts
were no. forced, bat the pace was just hot
enough to excite little interest Their rela.
tive positions were not changed and Puss
Brodnax came in under canter a winner il

THIRD RAcE--MtLE HEATS.
On this race most CT the interest was cen
tered Balinkcel has always been considered
"a goer, and Bonaven.ure has made at the late
meetings brilliant record In the pools on
the track Balinkeel sold for $50 and the field
for tie same price, and, from the SIDE bets, it
was evident the knowing ones felt safe in back
ing the .avorite. The entire We're BonaveI-
ture. BaiiinkeeI. Bob Britton, Mary L., and
Tom feathers. The condition of he horses
excited considerable comment. They-espc-
ciallv Bonaventure and Bob Britton-had
been trained down 70 "a hair, and were fit to
run a race for life. From the splendid cond-
ton OF the track fast time was looked for,
and several bets were made that l :43 would
be beaten.
T., ,tn
the jockeys cndeavorin. ito get every little
advantage Of one another and compelling the
horses to be called back four times on account
OF false starts. At last, however, Col Brsaux
sent them off well together, Bob Britton going
up to the front.
When they had reached the first quarter,
Bob still led, Mary L. second, Baiiin1eel, third
evidently saving himself Bonaventure fourth
and Tom a bad fifth. On the back stretch
Ballinkeel shook Mary \. of and called on
Bob Tor lead. Neck ana neck they shot by
the half mile post with Bonaventure length
behind. and Mary J.. and Tom trailing be-
hind.
Round the turn they flew: Balllnkeel
the home stretch Bonaycntu1e made squirt
and drew up 10 and went by Blitton and let
out for the brown colt. 1t was a rafting
pace and too hot to last. They rushed by the
distance stand, each struggling for the goal,
and after one OF the most exciting contests
Ballinkeel landed by "a halt neck winner OF
the heat in Al, Bonaventure second, Mary
L. third. Bob Britton fourth. and Tom
feathers dstanced.
Second Heat.-Wlen the start was made for
the second heat the betters called in vain for
the hackers Of Bonaventure. They had all
cooled off well, and beyond little stiffness in
one Of the hind legs Of the favorite they
seemed in good condition.
Bonaventure was the first Oft, and led for
the first quarter at the half Mary L. drew
up ard passed her, Ballinkeel third At the
third quar,er Ballinkeel passed the filly and
challenged Mary, and, as the home stretch
was entered, went By. Coming home it was
difficult to say how they stood, so uncertain
was it, However, they strained every sinew,
and Baliinkeel passed under the string a vic
tor by half a head, Bonaventure second
Tine l:45i.
