A 2:35 pacing race for $780, three in five
mile heats. was called with entries Ion e
Wilkes, bF Toler stock farm; j. F., by
Tim Lane
The first heat showed lone easily in the
lead at the first quarter and down the
back stretch the two went junketing.
They finally showed up at the wire before
Disguised crowd.
The second heat was pronounced
rotten by all and the members of
the association and judges were terribly
dsgasted, calling it a hippodrome of the
first magnitude. L. T. was ruled out for
running and the race given to lone, after
considerable hesitation as to whether any
money should be expended for such an i'm
position.
A special pacing race, three in five, mile
heats, for $500, was called, with entries:
Marlowe, Budwizer and Dandy ID, the lat
ter being entered by Maud, of Coffeyville,
and the others by Wichita parties. The
pools showed no money against Marlowe,
IL.
For second place it was two to one for
Budwizer
On the first heat Marlowe took the lead,
as expected, and kept it to the finish, hold
ing up on the back stretch for company.
Budwizer was third at the end of the first
half but came in second by length.
The second heat called Budwizer was
disabled, leaving Marlowe and Dandy d.
Marlowe took the lead and held it to the
home stretch when he left his feet, and the
driver of Dandy ID. seemed to hate it very
much to be compelled to win the heat.
This heat gave general dissatisfaction.
and the question of how to get some good
pacing was discussed by the judges. 1t
was finally decided to defer other heats
until today at p. m.
