the outside. Carrie scored slow and Zig
fast, and the bell rang them back several
times before good start was secured. with
the pole horse slightly behind the others.
AT the turn Boston Davis. who had sold IA
vOrite against the field, pulled ahead to the
pole, Carrie b coming up on Mabel HIS wheel
effectually pocketing the chestnut and hold
ing her there TO the home stretch. Zig
flew into the air at the very start and acted
in most provoking manner until the back
stretch was reached. Although many
lengths behind he settled down to good,
solid work, closing the gap. When the
three-quarter post was made the horses
were all in a cluster and each doing his
best. Davis was not headed in the heat,
and when they came down the home stretch
the enthusiasm of the excited spectators
was great. Mabel II was let out of her
pocket, into which she had been kept the
entire distance. Carrie b falling back
length. The chestnut then struck out
boldly but too late. Zig passed Carrie b,
but was set back for running. The finish
was made in the following order:
Boston Davis first. Mabel III second, Car
RE third and Zig fourth. Time, 2:274.
Second Heat-A splendid start was made,
and the handsome little chestnut, Mabel,
pulled ahead to the pole, Boston Davis go
ing off his feet at the start and acted most
miSerably to the three-quarter pole, the
balance of the party pushing long distance
ahead. Mabel III held the lead, Carrie Is a
good second, and Zig going very unsteadily:
Down the home-Stretch Mabel III maintained
her lead with apparent ease, Zig pulling up
TO second position, Carrie b third, and the
finish was made in that order. The
flag went down with Boston Davis
many yards behind but the owner made a
vigorous kick, alleging that the track pa
trolman ran his horse around by his side,
frightening Davis until il was impossible TO
make him behave. The judge ruled that
Davis should finish the race. Time. 2:31.
Third heat-This was pretty heat. Zig
was the only horse that made a skip, and
the time was lowered TO 2:264. 1t was
mighty struggle between Davis and Mabel
ii, the Others stringing out, with Zig act
ing badly as usual until the home stretch was
reached. Mabel II maintained the pole,
with the big black side by side with
her. Now one appeared TO have all
the advantage, then the other. 1t
was nip and tuck. When the last turn was
made Davis had quarter length lead, but
the plucky chestnut made squirt and got
lead, but could not hold it. The finish
was made with Davis a length in the lead,

last. Time 2:261z.
Fourth Heat-The start was made with
ali the horses even. Boston Davis made a
squirt and Mabel dropped behind her wheels,
Zig and Carrie keeping side by side most of
the distance around the track. Boston
Davis was still half length ahead when
the last turn was rounded. LyfOrd put
the little mare at her very best
pulling out, tapping BoSton's wheel. Down
| they came, each under the lash, and neither
making a skip. 1t was one of the prettiest
trials ever witnessed. Both horses had
been spared for the final stretch, but the
big black was too fast. the chestnut giving
mp four lengths before reaching the wire,
with Zig third and Carrie last. The pool
box was not bursted. Time, 2:2915..
First money was awarded Boston Davis,
second to Mabel ii, third to Zig and fourth
| to Carrie b.
