In the pools Weigle was the favorite at $50
to S52 for Washington, and $50 for the
field. 1t was close contest all
| around between Washington and Weigle.
The former led most Of the time. Carrie L.
was second for some time, but at the quarter
post Weige went neck and neck with WASH
| ington. From there out it was warm con-
test between the two. They came down the
stretch, amidst great cheering, neck and neck.
| Just before the score Weigle took the whip,
and won the heat by the width of his nose,
Washington second. Ouida third. Carrie
fourth. Time, 2:252 In this race, the heats

end to his score on the second heat. They
got off after that well, Carrie leading, but
Weigle soon taking the front place. On
the turn they were all well punched. and
| Weigle began to lead and Washington
to lag. Il looked now as if there
was job, for Ouida began to push for

looked to the man in the moon as if Weiele
and Washington had the thing put up for

The judges evidently thought likewise, for
| though Washington came in first, Weigle
second and Ouida third, they placed them,
Ouida first. Weigle second, Washington
third, Terry fourth and Carrie last. They
also placed Washington in care of a track
marshal, and put up a new driver in the sulky,
while the crowd cheered vociferously, and

| Time of the heat, 2:25i. The next heat Ouida
led throughout, doing splendid work. On
the back stretch Carrie broke, lost badly and
ran a long way. On the turn Terry, Ouida
and Weigle were well massed. 1t was splen-

came out of the dusky twilight, with Ouida

Another heat could not be paced because
of the darkness and it was therefore post
poned until 10 A. NJ. to-day Saturday.
