THE GREAT RACE.
The free-for-all pace for purse of 81, 200
brought out the three great ''side-
wheelers," Yolo Maid, Gold Leaf and
Adonis. Pools sold: Yolo Maid, $50
Adonis, $50; Gold Leaf, SIS.
Quinton held the ribbons on the beauti-
ful, clean-limbed Yolo Maid Mcdowell
was up behind Gold Leaf, while Hickok
piloted Adonis. After scoring four times
the horses We're given very good send-off,
1olo Maid leading at the quarter by a
| length from Gold Leaf, Adonis two lengths
behind. At the ee-eighths pole Adonis
went to second place. Yolo Maid leading
| by two lengths, Gold Leaf three lengths to
| the rear. On the home stretch Adonis
made brush for the first place, but the
| Maid was too speedy for him, winning the
heat by length in 2:12l.
When the time was announced, the
fastest ever made on the track in race, an
| immense shout went up from the audience.
This was considered remarkably fine per-
formance, as the track was at least two
| seconds heavy. The quarter was made in
1884, the half in 1:054.
Pools said after this heat: Yolo Maid
500, field 800. They changed several
times, the field occasionally selling favorite,
many saying that the Yolo Maid would
quit Thousands of dollars went into the
pool-box.
The second heat was the Maids, from
the score to the finish, leading by several
lengths at the quarter, Adonis second and
Gold Leaf as many lengths 10 the rear.
The Maid passed thequarter in :334, the half
IN l:O53, and came home at the same gait,
until she reached the draw-gate, when a
brother of Quinton ran upon the track and
shouted to the driver to pull her up, which
he did, Jogging over the score winner by
several lengths in 2:144 She could have
finished in 2:ll had it been necessary.
After this heat pools sold: Yolo Maid
5000, field $50.
In the third heat the horses had a good
send-off, the Maid leading into the turn.
Gold Leaf, for the first time this season,
went OFT her feet at the first turn, and fell
back long distance, the Maid leading
Adonis by three lengths at the quarter in
50 seconds. The half was passed in 1:04!,
| the Maid leading Adonis by four or five
| lengths, Gold Leaf going very fast Down
the homestretch they all came at at rattling
| gate AT the seven-eighths pole the Maid
| began to tire, and Quinton had to apply the
| whip in order to cross the score in advance
OF Adonis, which he did by barely length
| In 2:l53. If she had little further to go
| the race would have belonged to Adonis
was the opinionIof horsemen generally, and
had not Gold Leaf broke her chances for the
| heat and the race would have been good, as
Adonis and the Maid both finished very
tired.
