FREE FOR ALL, MILE HEATS.
In the free-ior-all, mile heats, there were
four starters in the following order lCanny
Scott, Black Ledor, Dave Douglas and Sid.
Mr.. Crlttenden, the starter, distinguished
himself IN starting the horses for this race.
1t had been generally understood that the
strap game" was not to be allowed on the
track, but an exception seems to have been
made in Mr.. Criuendens case. He
stretched long strap across the track and
had the horses start from stand-still."
On the second attempt Canny Scot and
Dave Douglas went forward, the strap was
dropped, and Ledor and Sid were at stand
still. A more miserable start was never
witnessed on any track in the United States.
and shout of disgust went up from ali
parts of the track. The result was that it
was simply race between Douglas and the
favorite, and the two splendid racers, Ledor
and Sid, that were Just the same as left at
the post, were of necessity distanced, Cannv
Scott winning by length from Douglas in
1:45}. Such starting of race horses is what
disgusts lovers Of racing sports. If Mr..
Crittenden proposes TO follow Up such
starting the society should ask him for his
resignation. A man who backs the horses
has no show for mis- money, and those who
wish to see fair and square race and good
time made went away thoroughly dis.

Oh the track the start was simply rotten"
Dave Douglas ran a game race and when
he came in it was found that lie had thrown

For the second heat Mr.. Crittenden did
not bring out the strap aud as a conse-

turn. The quarter was passed in :27,
Douglas leading by length. They were
