Fairly Good Tsrots In the Afternoon
Tempest, Socrates and Lady Lightfoo'
the winners. ,,5 ay,


fair to-day was not as good as was expected.
Visitors in the morning were few, and at
.tendants and exhibitors busted themselves
with removing many articles. In the after
noon between 1000 and !, 900 people assem-
bled to witness the races f.h +
The first race started was the 2.40 class.
Lady Richmond was the favorite In this
race but seemed somewhat off in the first
heat.
The first heat was started with Tempest
at the pole which she reiinquished to Lady
Richmond on the turn, Addie G. laying on
Richmond's wheel, Tempest third, and In
this position they went to the half when
Lady Richmond went into the air, and
Tempest went to the frcnt, and stayed
there to the wire, with Addie G.. second.
Time, 2.45. ..s..a tsi
| In the second heat, after considerable
soaring, the horses were sent OFF with
very Struggling start, Lady Richmond
taking the pole on the turn held the lead
until on the second quarter when she went
into the air, and Tempest went to the front
where she stayed, winning the heat, under
pull, in 241L, Lady Richmond second
The third heat was very much like the
second. Lady Richmond goes around the
first turn In "a twenty gait, which she did
this time, and took the pole and held the
lead until on the third quarter, when
Tempest forced her to break and went to
the front, winning the heat under a strong
pull in 2.39l4. t

The second race was the 1888 class Only
Socrates, Jim Harp and Isaac started.
In the first heat Socrates, the pole horse,
took the lead, which he held, with Jim
Harp on his wheel and Isaac only length
behind, the whole three trotting beautifully
until the three-quarter pole was passed.
But fate still pursued Socrates, and on the
turn he went into the air and Jim Harp
came to the front where he stayed, winning
the heat by length from Isaac In 2.35.
L The second heat was beautiful one. Jim
Harp at the pole had slight lead on the
turn, but going down the back stretch a
blanket would have covered all the horses.
At the end OF the stretch Socrates let out a
link or two and went to the front, and for
the first time at this meeting stayed there,
although Isaac pushed him all the way
round, winning by short length in 2.34A
| The third heat was considerable of pro-
| cession. Socrates, the pole horse, had little
the best of II in the send off, and took the
| lead on the turn and was never headed,
winning the heat by short length from
| Isaac In 2.34A.
In the fourth heat, Socrates the pole horse.
| took the lead on the turn with Jim Harp
on his wheel, but the latter soon fell back
| and gave place to Isaac, who pushed Socra-
| tes all the way around, but could not quite
get there, Socrates winning the heat and
race in 2341l.

The third race was the 220 class. In Che
first heat Lady I.ightfoot, the pole horse, took
the lead at the turn and held it for! three
| quarters of a mile, but at the three quarter
| pole Colonel Dickey made rush for her,
| and carried her of her feet, when he took
the lead which he held, winning the heat In
a Jog from Estella by two lengths In 2.31.
The second heat changed the face OF
| matters considerably. Colonel Dickey had
the pole but lost 1t to Lady Lightfoot on the
turn and although Colonel Dickey pushed
| her all the way around he could not quite
get there, Lady Lightfoot winning the heat
In 2 229, Colonel Dickey second, Jack Sailor
distanced.
The third heat was very interesting one,
/ although the pole horse had the lead from
wire to wire. Colonel Dickey and Estella
pushed her, each laying on the leaders
| wheel, turn and turn about, but were
beaten ON the home stretch, Lady Light
foot winning by length from Colonel
Dickey in 2.S2. stF n
In the fourth heat Lady Lightfoot led
from wire to wire, and although Colonel
