ming races, the animals engaged III them
teng AS fine Ms any country produces. The
first race was the match race between
Maggie May at l05 pounds and Lila q. a!
l07 for 81 900 side, mile and quarter
dash. The animals were started at the quar-
ter and got away as nearly together as two
horses ever did. Maggie May won
the pole in the toss and her rider
Rugged it close. AT the first
quarter Lila G. was about half length to
the front Of Maggie, and both animals under
a heavy pull, neither going at mort than q
sweeping gallvp. Al the second quarter
Maggie had pulled up with Lila, and
| they were nose and ayse,aud from there on SO
they ran around lue back stretch, where
Lila got the spu' nd both animals livened
up their pace On to tho three quarter
stand. Here Me gle began to show slightly
{ to the front and both of them turne into the
home stretch well in hand but warming TO
their work Down the home strech Lila
forced the running, and the timber made
music about the shoulders of both the
ladies. Maggie was too much for the gallant
sorrel, however, and widened the lead she
had 10 n length, by which she won the race
in two minutes and thirty seconds. This is
not good time 50 far Us records 20,
but considering the heavy track, and
the fact that both animals have
been affected with the epizootic,
it was excellent. The condition of the track
it being soft and sticky, was fully five Sec
Onds TO the mile against speed.
The second was mile dash for two year
olds, for purse OF Sl50, 500 to the first
aud $50 to the secoad. Two msideus came
to the score carrying weight to age, SO
pounds each. Bonnie Lee and Bessie Davis
were the young ladies who sought reputa-
ton in this contest. Bonnie had largely the
advantage in riders, Aiken handling her,
viii Q Bessie was under the guidance of Il
young coon, novice who never before had
ridden race AS an evidence of The coon's
inexperience and lack OF skill, lie le! Aiken
take the track from him passing between
him and the pole before the first quarter
was reached. AT the first quaf,,r b Jnnie
was leading, but on the back stretch Bessie's
rider crowded her and ran up beside Bonnie
but she could not show the bay her heels, how.
ever, and by the time the home stretch wa:
reached, Eessie had been 50 badly ridden
that she was not equd to the enter
gency and Bonnie showed the WA,
to the stand by two lengths.
