Irene Harding, Little Agnes and
Monte Belle were the only contestants.
Irene Harding was the favorite in the
pool selling at $50, against $l3 for
Agnes and 50 for Monte Belle. This
was perhaps the most interesting Of
any race held thus far during the
Fair. Irene Harding is an acknowl-
edged favoritc, of good blood, and has
kept he place in the esteem of turfmen
for the past two years or more. Little
Agnes, u San Diego nag, belonging to
Mr.. Johnston, is also of good pedigree
and highly esteemed, although not
possessing so good a record, perhaps,
as the former. Much money was
staked on the result of the race, the
pools amounting to something over
eight thousand dollars, not counting
the many outside bets made.
Irene won the toss and took the pole,
giving Agnes the second place and
struck out in the lead and kept up her
advantage for the, half mile,. though
closely pressed by the little bay, com
ing under the score neck in advance;
Irene second and Monte Belle third.
Time 5lS.
Agnes was now the decided favorite,
and pools sold: Agnes $50, Irene
SIT 81 and Belle ST.. Two to one was
freely offered by outsiders on the fa-
vorite, and taken by the staunch
friends of Irene. = Z = 'ia Z Js
On the start, Irene, took the lead, the
bay and grey following close behind
with noses even., The Belle finally
fell behind and Irene came in winner
of the heat; Agnes second and Belle
third. Time 81. ae.tr
Irene again went to the front in the
pools and sold at $20 with $13 OH Ag-
mes and so cents OH tie Belle. Owing
to some Misunderstanding with the
starting Judge, the third dash was de-
clared dead. 1rene's rider checked up
the roam before half of the heat was
run and the. other two kept on, COM
ing under the score Agnes first and
Monte Belle second. The owuer of
Agnes thereupon claimed the race, al
leging that the start was regular and
the word "go" given by the Judges,
as he was able to prove. The judges,
however, ruled otherwise, and sent
Agnes back for another heat.
In the fourth heat the three nags
had al even start and kept even for
some distance when Irene shot ahead
coming first under the score; Agnes
second, Belle third. Time, Sly. ts
Mr.. Campbell, one of the judges, left
the grounds as soon as the heat was
finished and before a decision was rem
dered, SO that the remaining judges
were compelled to defer a decision un-
til to-day. Allowing the third to be a
dead heat as decided, the race belongs
will doubtless be declared to-day at
O'Clock, the hour appointed. - lt ~ \
