HELENA, August -Broadchurch won
the two-year-old trotting race, coming in
on canter. The 81, 900 running race was
won by Repetta, Nevada being withdrawn
after the second heat, which as won by
Caloma Mutuals paid S1715. She was
a favorite in the pools on the third heat,
bat Repetta won easily, coming in on a
gentle canter.
The fourth race was trotting, for purse
of $500. After scoring three times six
horses were sent away to a fairly good
start. Junio at the pole, was never head
ed. He and D. w. K. trotted away from
the herd and JUNO won. Fantasie wob-
bled along as if doubled Or cross hobbled,
and the rest came strung along. Bishop
Hero, stepping along nicely, overhauled
D. w. K. about the middle of the back
stretch and the way was open to Hero
next the rail, and he glided by D. W. K.
In the second heat JUNO and D. w. K.
went out together again. The brotherly
feeling which inspired D. W. K. to let
JUNO win the first heat was magnifcently
reciprocated on the part of JUNO for the
second, until I. J. S., like a ghost, dis
turbed the serenity of their iaunt and
forced JUNO, in defense of his and his
friends reputation, to win, and lost a lot
of money on d. w. KS chances for the
heat. [. J. S., poor fellow, having won
second place, was nevertheless sent back
to third place and D. w. K. placed second
by the judges
d. W. K. took the third heat, the mu-
tuals paying eight for one, $41.25. Time,
2:3O.
In the fourth heat the horses went away
to fair start, Hero trotting from the
wire to the last turn furlong in front of
everything, with JUNO a close compan-
ion. Fantasie, on the inside, came on like
a rocket from the head of the home
stretch, and closing great gap, came to
the wire, Hero getting the verdict by
head from JUNO, Fantasie at Junio's
throat latch. Time, 22919.
The quintette lit out for the fifth heat.
Hero and Fantasie seemed anxious to get
away from the company and to supper.
The sun was down and twilight began to
leave some sable shadows about the foot
hills of the main range. They kept we'll
together all the way and swung into the
stretch head and heels like a matched
team. On they came within fifty yards of
tho wire, and here Hero broke. and Fan
TASTE, trotting smoothly, came in, winning
the heat. Time, 2:2724-the best heat in
point of time so far in the races.
The judges postponed the finish until
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. There
we're $4,000 in the pools on Wednesday
and $4,000 on Thursday.
