H COWBOY RACE.
There is always a squabble of some
sort over every slow race, and the half
mile dash Yesterday, with seven cow
ponies and alleged c~owponies in the field,
was no exception. 1t was H. Bedients
Dicks race from the go, with Bernard's
Revenue and Iselin's Sir Tom closely fol-
lowing. The time was 55f. After the
race a roar went up that Dick was not a
COW horse. The wrangle was confined to
the limits of a small but select crowd,
which did some tall mouth betting near
the Judges stand.
JUVENILE STAKES.
Judge Fuckers Our McGregor and Du
Bots Bros Belle Magnet we're the only
starters in the two-year old stakes of six
colts for which final payment was made.
The youngster with the Scottish appella
ton led the flly the mile twice and was
awarded first money. The second finish
was rather close, both horses broke at the
distance pole and g~alloped to within a few
feet of the wire. The time for each heat
was the same, 1924.
NOVELTY.
Had gentlemen jockeys been up in this
contest instead of light weights, it would
have been almost as interesting as the
clab cup race. There was considerable
trouble in getting the seven off together,
and it was necessary to threaten to fine
several before they would consent to give
the pole horse and his diminutive rider a
chance.
BY chance, of course, the quarter
horses were on the inside and the long dis
lance jumpers near the outer wall. Sew
eral of the entries were very much ad-
mired by all and were fine animals indeed.
When they finally got off several were
out of the race before the first turn was
reached and the contest was between Sor-
rel John, Dellwood, Waldren and Emma.
Alta killing pace John passed the quarter
in the lead in % seconds and the half in
503. From there it was a race for a
quarter between John and Waldren, and
both travelled. John captured the three
quarters purse in lis and was pulled,
while Waldren forged ahead and did the
mile in l:48.
1t required some pretty lively work to
judge this race, but there was no dissatis-
faction, and all voted that it was a splen-
did exhibition of speed and fine riding.
Johns owner is $3.50 richer and Wal
dren's bit was $40. This race was a lair
sample of what to-day mile dash will be.
2:33 TRoT.
Two heats of this race were decided
Tuesday. Two more were trotted early
Yesterday afternoon.
The contestants here were Dubois
Bros Magnet, Dan Meek's Bunyon, A.
Martins Ned Biddle, G.. B. Goodell's
Spartan and Chas. Quits Louette.
There was no end of trouble in starting
the quintette and several drivers were
fined for coming up ahead of the pole
horse.
First heat-They were off in a bunch.
Luette led at the first turn but was soon
passed by Magnet, who performed beau
tifully. 1t was evident to all that the
race was TOR blood. At the half Spartan
wrested second place from the mare, but
was passed on the down stretch. Mag
net won in 2:3l, Louette second, Spartan
third, Biddle fourth, Bunyon fifth.
Second heat-This was exciting indeed
and was made more interesting by some
pretty strong kicks against the decision
of the Judges. Several were running at
the turn. They made a splendid process
sion of animated machines at the half
mile and quarter and came up the stretch
in three sections Louette and Magnet neck
and neck, leading, and Biddle away in the
rear. At the wire it looked as though
Louette broke, but many said not. AT
any rate the heat was given to Louette,
Magnet second, Spartan third. Bunyon
fourth, Biddle distanced. Time, 2:3O.
Third Heat-Magnet had almost q
walk over and crossed the mark in 2:34,
with Luetta second, Spartan third and
Bunyon fourth.
Fourth Heat-Spartan was a tail-endeI
from the go, while Magnet took his old
place in the lead, with the mare second.
He was never headed and they finished in
that order, Magnet winning heat and
race in 2:333. Spartan takes second
money.
