will doubtless recrivet q much better at

pool box was presided over by Louis

In the second heat the two horses got
off in good style. Wells Fargo took the
lead and held it the entire distance
making the mile in 236. It now be-
came evident that lakewood had no
chance to win, and the only hope left

unless Holly slackened the speed of his
animal.
The horses obtained an early start on
this heat, but before they had gone q

tearing, with scarcely 8 nose between
them, and when they passed
