was exceedingly hard for the horses to keep
their feet and the several heats were
marked by bad breaking. There were four
events on the program, but only two of
them We're worked of, as the showers and
the trouble experienced in starting held
the fifth heat of the 2:25 pace
until after o'clock. In the pacing
race, Uncle Eb surprised everybody by
winning first money. Bay Diamond, who
was the favorite in the pool box at the
start, succeeded in taking only third money.
Uncle Eb did splendid work and wonderful
pacing is looked for from him before the
season closes. Vascoe's owner paid S110
suspension money in order to get place in
the race. but the horse had lost his nerve
and did nothing but run. He was dis
tanced in the first heat. c. c. Lyford's
chestnut mare Mabel II showed up in fine
style in the $50 trot and won three straight
heats, taking them from under the nose of
Frank Middleton. DR.. Smith was in poor
condition and III the first heat he fell into
fifth place and was drawn.
In the grand stand there were between
four and five thousand people and they
fought the wind that blew through the
stand braVely and saw three heats of each
race before they left. Several times the
men went around the course driving through
a heavy rainfall and it was thought that it
would be necessary to call the events off.
but the Judges held them to their work until
they were finished.
UNCLE EDS FINE WORK.
When the pools opened on the 2:25
pacing race for purse of $500, Bay Dia-
mond was selling as favOrite for $40, with
SIC in the field, and there were but few
who were willing to take their chances in
the field. The big gelding from Eau Claire
was the favorite to the third heat, up to
which time he had come in winner but
once The fourth heat was won by Uncle
Eb and there was a frantic effort made by
the crowd in front of Dempsey to hedge,
or to pull out of the hole, and they gave
great odds on the Minneapolis gray geld
ing. He readily brought 500 and the
field only brought S10 and there were but
few takers, as it was plainly apparent that
Ed would win. and he did, the fifth and
decisive heat being a pretty exhibition or
speed between him and Belle d coming
down the homestretch. Murphy. the
owner of Chief, drove his own horse and
took the first heat. From his subsequent
movements it was plain that he was after
second money and the summary will show
that he got it.
First Heat-Vascor would not keep his feet.
When the horses were finally sent away he
was two lengths behind, running badly.
Belle D took the lead by a length and held it
to the first quarter post followed by Uncle ED
and Theresa Scott At the quarter Theresa
Scott made splendid squirt and drew ahead
of Uncle Eb and Belle D, taking the lead.
On the back stretch Chief passed Belle and
took fourth place. When they came out
Scott still led, but on the hOme-stretch Chief
skipped by Uncle Eb and Belle D, and ut the
distance stand passed Theresa Scott coming
under the wire two lengths ahead, followed by
Theresa Scott, Belle D and Bay Diamond.
Time, 2:32.
Second Heat-Uncle Eb took the lead, Bay
Diamond second, Theresa Scott third and
Chief fourth. Chief soon pulled ahead and
Uncle Eb fell back to fourth place. Theresa
Scott was ten lengths behind. Near the half
mile post Bay Diamond went up and was
passed by Uncle Eb and Theresa Scott. Chief
led into the cut and came out closely followed
by Uncle Eb and Belle d. The race was
close one. Belle D crossed Chiefs track and
pressed him to the fence, letting Uncle Eb
ahead and he came in winner by two lengths.
Time, 1922.
Third Heat-Theresa Sect went away with
Belle D. Near the quarter post Belle ID took
the lead and they started into the back stretch
punched, but-Belle D went off her feet, and.
before she could be brought down, she had
fallen dozen lengths to the rear When
they came out of the cut Bay Diamond was
ahead, closely followed by There ga Scott,
Uncle Eb and Chief. The race down the
home stretch between Bay Diamond and
Theresa Scott was close one. Winner, Bay
Diamond. Time, 2:35.
Fourth Heat-Uncle Eb had a slight lead
over Belle D. When first quarter post was
reached Belle D took the lead and drew a half
a length ahead of Uncle Ed, but the Mime
apolis boy soon recovered the lost ground and
the horses went down the back stretch neck
and neck. Belle D suddenly left her feet and
before she could be steadied had fallen back
to fourth place and went into the cut in this
position. In the cut she picked up, passing
Theresa Scott and Bay Diamond and come
down the home stretch on Uncle Eds wheel,
but she cou ldn't get her nose ahead of his
and she had to take second place. Time, :32.
Fifth Heat-It was nearly dark when the
horses got away. with Belle ID in the lead,
with Bay Diamond closely pressing her and
Theresa Scott close on Diamonds wheel.
Near the quarter post Diamond went up and
Theresa Scott passed him and took second
place. Uncle Eb, who up to this time had
held fourth place, spurted and passed Bay
Diamond and Theresa Scott and went into the
cut neck-and-neck with Belle ID. When they
came out Uncle Eb was a length ahead of
Belle D. who was closely pressed by Theresa
Scott, and strung out behind were Bay Dia-
mond and Chief. Down the home-stretch
Belle D gained on Uncle Eb and from the
dislane stand they came to the wire, Uncle
Eb leading by half head. Time, 2:35.

LYFORD'S EASY WINNER.
In the 2:30 trotting event for purse of
$500 there were nO.recordS broken and $50
was not once made in the three heats that
were trotted. Mabel H was in good trim
and was an easy winner of the race, and
in two of the heats she logged under the
wire as though there were no followers.
The pools opened with the field selling
for $40, and Frank Middleton as choice
for $40. The pool seller did brisk bust
ness for time but the Minneapolis mare
captured the first heat so easily she was
promptly taken as favorite at $25 and
but few would venture on the field against
her at IS.
