THE FAvORITE THE ONE.
In the three-minute class there were six
starters, Western Boy, Robert Palmer and
Ecce having been scratched. The pole was
drawn in the following order: B. N. Gertrude
@, l; b. M. Cricket, 2; br. S. St. Elmo 8; g.
m. Lettie Watterson, 4; b. 6. DR.. L. s. and b.
m. Cora on the outside. The race was won
by Lettie, which was the favorite.
This was the exception to the
pool-box smashing of the day.
The first heat was devoid Of anything ap-
preaching thrilling interest. The start-off
was fair, with Gertrude C. slightly in the
lead aud Lettie Watterson and Cora c. made
nad start. Lettio made a most damaging
break Immediately upon receiving the word
go, and failed to recover herself until the
nrst quarter pole had been reached. She then
settled down to honest business, and it was
surprising to see her close up the wide gap.
Meanwhile the bay mare Gertrude had forged
ahead until it seemed dollars to cents that she
had the heat. The others were stringing out
IN order, spelling the interest. Gertrude
stood first, DR.. L. second, st. Elmo had
pushed to third, Cora held down fourth, Wat
terson had pushed up to fifth and Cricket
brought up last place as they passed the half
mile pole. Then they went out of sight be-
hlnd the hill. Coming down the home stretch
DIR. l.. braced up and came down like the
wind, passing nose ahead of Gertrude, but
the strain was too much. He went into the
air and fell behind. Gertrude trotted stead
lily until few rods of the wire when DR.. l..
came up again with too much speed. She
, DfoSe an and fell to second place,
close thing for third place,
Lettie Watterson came down at q terrific pace
Tor the class and was quickly neck and neck
with Cora, but the gray had a slight advant-
age at the wire. This made the finish DR.. l.
third, Cora fourth, St. Elmo fifth and
Cricket sixth. Time, 1924. The second
heat was somewhat more interesting.
at all events lots of fun was experienced in
scoring. 1t required fifteen attempts before
the word was given, and then the gray mare
was sent OIL on the run. She acted disgrace
fully, and DR.. L also broke. Indeed nearly all
went OF their feet in an amusing way. Ger
trude took the lead at the start, with st.
Elmo second, DR.. L third, Cricket fourth and
cora last. Cricket did good business on the
back stretch and pushed the others. In the
Ia
stretch Lettie broke again and fell back. DR..
pushed ahead and won the heat by a nose,
st. Elmo coming in on smart run. DR.. l.
first st. Elmo second, Cricket third Cora
fourth, Lettie Watterson fifth, and Gertrude
sixth. Time 2:34%. For the third heat a new
driver was placed behind Lettie Watterson
and she was driven to win. at the start she
won the pole, DR.. L second, Elmo 8.
Cricket 4, Cora last. The gray held
the lead to the score, Cora coming in 2, Crick-
EFT ), st. Elmo 4, Dr.. l. 5. Gertrude had been
drawn with the consent of the judges. Time,
1854.
st. Elmo managed to win the fourth heat. So
far as Cora was concerned the start was bad.
They were all in bunch at the turn, but DR..
Il. succeeded in forging to first place, the Or
der being DR.. L., Cricket, ST. Elmo Cora,
Watterson. Cricket was going handsomely,
but broke and the field went into the cut il
the above order. Coming out, Wattcrson had
pulled up to third place, but broke badly aed
ran the entire stretch. St. Elmo was pushed
1or all he was worth and he got under the
wire first. Cora second, DIR. l.. third, Waiter
son fourth, Cricket last. Time 1917.
The fifth heat was devoid of interest and
was won by Watterson in 1885, Cora second

fifth. The sixth and last heat was
walk-away for Watterson. She took the
lead at the turn and the field trailed behind
