an overdose of liquor, but this is uncer-
tain. Many thought that the spurs had
sunken just a trifie too deep in his broad
TANKS.
The word was given once, but they were
called back by one of the judges, who did
the wire.
The second time it was a 90 sure
enough. All left at a pace r~ivaling the
flight of carrier pigeons. Trouble was
perhaps half a head in advance to the
head of the up stretch. In the break up
he was passed by Deronda, Viscount and
Spider, and the trio rounded the first turn
abreast. Down the straight they raced as
if it were only a quarter. Spurs were
used gently, if at all, and the whips de-
scended lightly if used. 1t would never
do to punish a horse early in the race.
Trouble left the bunch end widened the
gap between himself and the others.
The second turn was made beautifully.
Here Deronda parted company with Wis.
count and Spider, and was in Troubles
tracks. They came up the home stretch
in this order, and everyone could see that
it was the intention of the other jockeys
10 allow the P o entry to set a killing
pace and die solely for their benefit.
Their plans were working admirably at
the half. On they sped, raising a cloud
Of dust which settled over Endebar and
his rider as they brought up the rear.
Down the back stretch they travelled
steadily at terrific speed. At the three
quarter mark EnGebar bolted and fell with
his rider, i%njuring him slightly. This did
not interrupt the race, and the widest
excitement prevailed when the four
horses completed the mile without any
symptoms of quitting. They were goaded
on at every jump. The crowd implicitly
believed that Deronda would close in on
Trouble and pass him when his rider
pleased, but the noble little p D uomi

and they finished in that position, Wis
count a good third and Spider pretty
close.
The audience was frenzied. The shout
that went up from the grounds was
plainly heard in Cheyenne. Even the
losers cheerei and magnanimously cor
gratualated the lucky ones.
Vanderpool, the jockey, was given an
ovation. Mr.. Force, manager for the
Post ercheron company. was greatly
elated. and Dan Hogan, the trainer, was
the hapriest man in the county.
The time, 500, is not fast. Mutuals

FREE FOR al TROT.
Little Joe, Ned Biddle, Spartan, Lou
eta and Billy Haywood were the entries
in the free for all trot for a $500 purse.
All of the animals had previously per-
formed on the track and it was a simple
matter to pick the winner if one was Ger
tain hat the contest was for blood. The
little black stallion, with Ham Hitchcock
behind, was the ~favorite by long odds.
First hedt-There was not little trouble
in starting, as Spartan seemed deter
mined to run. Haywood took the lead
above the turn and at the quarter it was
Haywood, Biddle, Louetta, Little Joe and
Spartan. At the end of the first round
Joe had passed Biddle and Louetta and
was after Haywood at a rafting clip.
Spartan had gone to pieces. On the
down stretch Joe gained on Biddle and
they were neck and neck at the last turn.
TIC the wire it was quite a pretty struggle,
but Joe easily passed Biddle and was fol
lowed by Haywood and he by Louetta.
Biddle finishing fourth, Spartan fifth.
Time, 2:35.
Second heat. Better time was made
this trip and the heat was quite interest
ing. Louette, who has been unfortunate
at this meeting secured a good start and
was never headed. There was a livelylfght
between Haywood and Joe for second
place at several points. bat the former
followed the mare in. Biddle fourth and
Spartan fifth. Time, 2:32.
Third heat -Biddle took the lead this
time with Haywood second, Joe next and
Spartan a tailender. Joe passed Hay
wood at the quarter and challenged Bid
die for the lead. They were together at
the half, but the black pulled away from
the bay, who fell to third place, Hay
wood following Joe. They finished in this
order with Luetta fourth and Spartan
last. Time, 1929.
Fourth heat-This decided the race.
