The horses in the race now on came up for
the third heat, and were started only after a
number of trials. The send-of was not q
good one. King, led Louis second, Empress
third, Kitty fourth. On the way to the hall,
King broke. At the turn King let up sud
denly and Louis ID. and Empress passed him,
and he took third place. On the last turn he
was the final horse. At the head OF the
stretch Louis d. and Empress were neck and
neck. They came to the score in 2:2S, Em-
press leading by four lengths Louis d. second,
Bell third, Thorne distanced. The POOLS
| ing revived and Empress stock again rose.
| On the start for the next heat the Judges
| ordered Williams, the driver of Louis D., to
vacate, and put Goldsmith in his place, the
belief prevailing that Louis was not being
driven to the best advantage. They got on
| for the fourth heat with King galloping be-
hind. Empress kept the lead to the end of
the heat. At the half, in 1:10A, Louis d. was
second, Bell third, and King far behind.
From there out it was easy work for En-
press, and the finish was like a funeral pro-
cession. Time, 2:34. Empress first, Louis
second, Bell third. The next heat began with
Empress leading, and Louis d. second Bell
nearly stopped at the quarter, and was q bad
| fourth, the rest of the way breaking and
| stopping. On the last turn Starr King came
up on Empress, taking second place, but soon
broke badly. Empress held her place and
took the heat. King second, Louis d. third,
Time, 2:3l. Thus Empress Won the race and
FIRST money, Louis D. second money, and
Starr King third money.
