THE 2:30 RACE.
This was the only race of the meeting
in which second choice commanded any
figure. The betting was lively ON Uncle
Ebb at $50, Niger at S14, Simmons at SO
and the field, consisting of Sleepy Fred,
Joe B and Belle D, so. The buyers of the
field won big money, as the winning horse
did not take heat until the third.
First Heat-A good start was made,
Belle D soon taking the lead with Ebb next,
Fred followed, and then Niger, Simmons
and Joe Blast. In this order they passed
the quarter and went round the back
stretch. Joe B met with an accident to his
harness which caused him to stop. On the
home stretch Uncle Ebb made desperate
effort to lead Belle d, and succeeded, al
though he crossed the line on a run. Wal
lace was distanced. Time, 2:2555.
Second heat-Uncle Ebb, favorite; Belle
D, second choice This was an interesting
contest. Niger started to run shortly after
leaving the wire, and fell way behind. Ebb
who had the pole. kept the road with Belle
d on his wheel all the way round the turn.
Sleepy Fred did some good pacing and
crowded the leaders hard on the back stretch.
In the cut Ebb broke, and did not recover
his feet until nearly around the upper turn,
meanwhile, Niger had got down to busi-
ness and pushed through the crowd to an
even chance for the first place, his COMPETE
tors being Joe B and Sleepy Fred. At
the distance, Niger broke and fell back to
third place. Fred won. Joe B second.
Time, 2:23.
Third Heat-Sleepy Fred took the van at
the end Of the plaza, closely followed by
Joe B, Belle d, Niger and Uncle Ebb, in
which order they passed the quarter. Mig
ger made a push for second place and soon
Tapped the Belle. just as he was passing
her Oh the backstretch Fred broke and fell
through the crowd to fifth place. AS they
entered the cut, Belle D led the procession,
while Ebb, Joe and Niger were punched
all together for second place. Sleepy Fred
made no effort to more than save his dis
lance. and Belle D won the heat, Uncle
Ebb second, Niger third. Time, 2:26%
Fourth Heat-Belle led all the way round
the turn. Ebb made a strong effort to head
her, tapping her wheel at the quarter On
the back stretch he made as though he
would pass the mare and did gain Slight
lead, but broke and fell to the bottom of the
ladder. Fred was the first horse to pass
him, and kept second place all the way
round. Time, 2:2S15.
Fifth Heat-Belle D started ahead as
usual, and was closely followed by Fred,
who pushed her hard aro,.If the t..ln, and
raced even with her up the back stretch,
the other horses being punched and only a
length behind On coming out of the cut
Belle was in the lead and Niger and
Uncle Ebb had an interesting hustle for
second place, which the former won.
Time 2:25.
