SALTWATER RACES.
Fine Contests i'm the Presence of a
Large Crowd.
Special to the Globe.
SALTWATER, June 24.-Stillwater has
been fortunate in having the very finest of
weather for her races, and the attendance
has been correspondingly large. The pro-
gram for to-day was an attractive one, the
contest between Prince Arthur, Belle f
and Longfellow-Whip, in the $50 class,
being in itself sufficient to draw out
a crowd. And the fact that
there are plenty of people who love race
when speed and honest trotting are prom
ised was shown by the jam (not quite equal
to that at Taylor's Falls in the grand stand
and the long row of vehicles hemming in
the course. There were three events down
on the card. and the one left over from
Wednesday made it evident that no time
would be lost if the setting sun was to see
finish in each event. The first race was
for home talent for green horses. There
were three entries, two of which were
blood relations, between which there
was considerable rivalry, each owner
thinking, OF course, that he had
the better horse. This race was called at
1:30 p. H., T. Pillsbury of Minneapolis
manipulating the bell. In the first heat
the three colts got away well together, but
SeymourS Billy, with a very pretty style,
forged ahead of the Queen and Toney.
After passing the quarter the Queen Tapped
Billy's wheel, but the pace being too great
she broke, when Toney also went up.
William went steadily on as if to the manner
born, finishing the heat without raising his
head from the business. The two relatives
made many skips and hops. The second
and third heats were as nearly like the first
as are the first performances Of any anna
teurs.

The second race was for the 1928 class
for $500, for which there were nine en-
tries, ali Of which passed under the wire at
the call. A long time however, was
wasted before the field got away, and it was
o'clock before the starter issued his man
date. This was owing to the ugly capers
of Zig, and the jumping propensities of the
Prince. The heat was won by Ned in
2:2519. In the second heat Zig was even
more wilful and almost beyond the control
OF his driver. and the Prince still insisted on
having his royal will, consequently more
valuable time was wasted, but
when they got away, Annie King
showed the way round the track, keeping
down to her work in a busness-like way
till coming down the home-stretch she lost
her feet for moment. Her driver in pull
ing her down made her swerve little on
the course, and on this technicality the sor-
rel claimed first place, and 1t was conceded
by the judges; time n second less than the
first heart In the third heat Annie did all
the trotting till within a hundred yards of
the wire, when she broke badly, letting
Ned get home with a good lead. The race
in fact was between Ned and Annie. Zig
was Withdrawn after the second heat.

The third event was for PAGERS of the
2:25 class with nine entries and eight
starters, Bay Diamond withdrawing. In
the first heat Belle D held the lead till she
passed the three-quarter pole, but coming
down the me-stretch she broke, being
pushed beyond her speed by Dan D, who
won the heat i'll grand style. In the second
heat Chief led to the quaTter, followed by
Joe, the Scott and Belle. In the three
quarter stretch Scott passed Joe and the
Chief, but i'll the last quarter the little one
passed the Scott and the formidable Dan
came past the latter like a rocket, winning
the heat. In the third heat Dan broke
early and an attempt was made to
let in the Belle. but Little Joe was deter
mined to intercept, and running race
down to the wire was the result. Theresa
kept her legs, and though she came in
fourth, was given first place. The fourth
heat saw the little one making good work.
with Belle keeping her company, Dan
keeping out of the race. The final heat
was won in splendid style by Dan, Little
Joe being second and Leo third. The lat
ter, green horse, showed wonderful speed
in this heat, coming up from the reach in
the last half and passing everything till
he reached the van. There were not two
yards between the first three horses.
