with Lem second, Dayton third and Prince
behind. AT the quarter Prince Arthur had
Tapped Dayton's wheel, but no other change
was made. In going down the back stretch
Lem broke and was passed by Dayton and
Arthur. Dayton then pushed for the Chief,
with the Prince constantly tapping his
wheel, until Dayton flew up and fell back,
when Prince Arthur made squirt for the
Chief, but failed to catch him until nearly
reaching the three-auarter post when he
passed TO the pole with magnificent burst
Of speed. Down they came for the wire.
The Prince had the advantage, but the
Chief worked hard, and rapidly closed the
gap. 1t was too fast for him, however,
and he went off his feet, Prince Arthur
coming in first, Chief second, Dayton third
and Lem last. Time, 2:2514.
Second Heat-For a race with only four
starters, surprising amount OF trouble was
experience in getting sent off. Prince Ar
thur scored slow, and Elmwood Chief broke
f.arna,,41,- In, ,i,,tr for fha fn11rfh of
tempt, an accident happened in which, for
tunately, no one was injured. Prince Ar
thur was turning as the others came speed
ing up, and he failed to turn as quickly as
was expected and Elmwood Chief cOllided
with his sull1y. smashing the off wheel and
precipitating the driver to the track. Chief
was slightly bruised on his legs, but Mr..
Kneebs thought he had sustained no serious
injury. The Prince was quickly hitched up
TO another sulky and a splendid start was
finally secured. Elmwood and Prince had
a brush, but the Chief broke and Arthur
took the lead. Lem also broke on the first
turn, but kept third place, Dayton falling
ten lengths behind him. These were the
relative positions for the entire mile. All
the horses acted badly except Prince Ar
thur. He did not make single skip.
Elmwood Chief ran after passing the half
mile post, but Kneebs got him under good
control before reaching the three-quarter
pole, and he was sent for all he was worth,
closing up the gap Prince Arthur had made,
and passed under the wire close to the lat
ter's wheels. Just before the finish Billy
Dayton made squirt and passed Lem.
Time, 2:24I.
Third Heat-This heat was practically a
repetition of the second. All the horses
acted badly except Prince, who forged
ahead at the start and was not headed.
Lem exhibited more speed the first half
than he had before. He bothered the Chief
greatly, but at the half post he broke and
fell back, with Dayton ten lengths behind
him. Chief made a desperate strug
gle on the home stretch, but was not fast
enough. Half way down the stretch Lem
checked up and quit, and was distanced,
Billy Dayton speeding past and taking
third place. The judge announced that
Prince Arthur won the first money. Elm
wood Chief second and Lem distanced.

2:25 PACING CLASS.
This was the race in which so much in
tereSt had been manifested since the meet
ing had first been talked of. The elegant
little gray mare, Theresa Scott, was the
favorite. Price Smith was mounted behind
her and he smiled significantly when asked
what he thought. He was confident of the
little mares ability to head everything in
the party.
The starters were ]. E. Whitcomb's G. g.
Theresa Scott; Charles n. Emery's b. z.
Charlie Z; j. IL. YOung's b. IN. Matte
Stipp. Charlie drew the pole, Matte sec
ond and Scott on the outside.
First Health scoring Matte Stipp per-
sisted in trailing behind Charlie E and was
sent off in that position. On the first bend
Charlie but Theresa had an interesting
brush, and Theresa out-footed Charlie and
took the pole, holding it with the greatest
ease to the wire. In making the back
stretch, Matte Stipp acted badly and fell a
distance behind. Just after passing the
half-mile post Charlie Z broke, but not
badly. Theresa did not make a skip from
wire to wire, and showed up splendidly.
Charlie came in second and Matte Stipp
last. Time, 2:26$.
Second Heat-Charlie Els driver was
taken down, and Mr.. Spencer superseded
him. Said the judge: 1.-The gray mare
can pace very fast, and we want Charlie
driven to win. He must show all the speed
there is in him." Mr.. Emery did not take
it cheerfully, but submitted to the ineyita-
bic. The word go was given with Matte
over length behind. Spencer pushed at
the first, but Theresa Scott was not TO be
headed. She was decidedly too speedy for
her company, and easily forged ahead a
full length. The whip was used literally
on Charlie, but to no avail. Matte broke
badly on the back stretch and lost ground,
while the little gray opened up a wide gap
and came home on an easy jog, with Char
lie a fair second, and Matte had all she
could do to save her distance. The flag
fell Just as her nose passed the mark.
Third Heat-Again the gray forged to
the front on the first turn, and opened up a
wide gap, with Charlie Z second and Matte
slightly behind. Matte then crowded
Charlie to the half mile, being
most of the time neck and neck,
but here the mare went to pieces,
and before she could be got under control.
she was fully two distances behind
Theresa Scott had meanwhile placed her
self a distance ahead of Charlie On the
home stretch Matte made superb burst
of speed. No one thought she could save
her distance, but she paced like perfect
SUOrm, CLOSING up Tie gap ana passing
Charlie, coming in second. Time, 2:3l15.
First money was awarded to Theresa Scott,
second to Charlie L. and third 10 Matte
Stipp.
