Pilot. Nevada and Leon Nevada won in
two straight heats. Time. 1;46 and 1:465S.
Next came tie one and one-eighth of a
mile special running race between Jubilee
and Broadchurch. At the start Jubilee was
the favOrite in the pools, but for some un-
known reason the betting switched to
Broadchurch for the fsvOrite. Jubilee won
in 1851.
The next was a one mile handicap be-
tween X, Kittie Van and Little Phil.
Little Phil was the fsvorite in the pools
and won the race in I:465S, Kittie Van sec

and started out beautifully, Yolo Maid
first, st. Patrick second, Clstawa third
They went around in that order, folo
Maid winning the first heat in 2:1924. which
was the third time at this meeting that the
Montana record he'd been broken. The
next heat was a repetition of the first, save
that ST. Patrick broke and Clataws came
In second. Time of heat 2:21L.
The event of the day was the third heat,
when Holly. who was driving the Maid,
determined to make q Montana record that
shouId stand unbroken for some time.
From the start to the finish the little mares
every motion was grace itself. When the
word was given for the third heat she
started ahead like q shot out of COMMON,
pulling away stpnce from st. Patrick, who
tried hard to stay alongside. The quarter
was made in BIZ. the half in 1:O5, and the
mile in the remarkable time of 2:l5 There
were three watches held on her and they
ali gave the same resu,tA When the an
nouncement was made DR. the wonderful
time the great crowd cheefed Mr.. Holly as
be dismounted. ST. Patrick and Clatswa
were shut out In this heat.
The next event Of the day was the special
free for-all trot. In 1t were Harry Velox,
Senator, Little Joe, Conde and Palatina
The betting was all on Senator as the win
ner of the race, though Conde was played
in the mutuals for the first heat The
horses got a good send-off, and Harry
Velox soon took the lead and held it,

ond, Senator third, Little Joe fourth.
The betting was still three to one on Sen
ator for the race. He took the next three
heats in 2:2S, 2:2414 and 2:25. The time in
the free-for-all was not as good as that
made by Lord Byron OF Col. Bradshaw.
Mr.. Guiaton introduced his trained horse,
Boston, and gave an exhibition of his skill,
which was exceedingly interesting.
The last race of the day was a special
running race, 600 yards, for 500, between
Laura H.. Red Bird and Half Moon. Con-
siderable money possed through the pool
boxes on the race. Red Bird won, time

interesting and best attended of any
in the Northwest. There had been
no complaints of foul riding or OF unfair
decisions by the judges during the entire
meeting. Most of the horses will be
shipped from here TO Butte tomorrow and
the visitors who have enjoyed the hospital
ity of the Montana hotel the past week
will scatter tomorrow, a great proportion
of them going TO Butte.
