IT WAS A GOOD DAY.
James f. and Byron Smith win
the Trotting Races.
SUNDAY THE RUNNING PURSE.
Very Good Days Sport, But it Did Not
Pass Without Some Tall
Kicking.
SUNDAY THE RUNNING PURSE

1t was tladies' day." but the fair sex
was not out in force, and those who were
on hand preferred open carriages and the
SUMS rays to the shade of the grand stand ;
and although the attendance was better
than on the opening day, 1t did net show so
for that reason.
The racing was superior to that of the
opening day. More pools were sold, faster
time was made and better satisfaction
given generally, notably so in the judges
stand, where Arthur Pratt presided, ably
seconded by Beardsley and Keogh.
RACE NO. l.
This was running, half mile heats Sun
day and Country Girl, of Montana, and
The Jew, of Winnemucca, were entered.
Red Elm, also a foreigner, was likewise
booked for this race, but got in a wreck on
the way down, and is now side-tracked at
some point between Ogden and Pocatello.
The first pool sold made Sunday favorite
at $40, while The Jew and the Girl brought
81 and ~, respectively. Subst quent bets,
which were numerou and livery, went at
about the same ratio
| The girl from the country drew the pole
and the favorite was assigned to the outer
circle. The tlly was firsa away and cut out
a rafting pace to the quarter, the Jew

At thu three-eighths the Israelite showed

grim death to the wire, passing under in

day gained a big advantage at the start
/ but he did not need it. From the quarter
in he was pulled all the way. The Jew anc
the girl were welded to each other the en-
tire journey, and whip and SPUR could MOI
separate them up to within the last hun
dred yards, when the Jew came away fol
second place.
No pools against Sunday for the fina

SECOND RACE 20 TRoT
James f. was favorite. He sold readil
at two to one against Louis S. and Nam
brine Thorn, who were opReven terms a
$40, while BERTHE NJ. brought 81.
The favorite played in luck, drew tn
pole, and was first away. Around the turn
the gray mare Of Laramie led him live
chase, but she lost her feet and ever
chance of winning at the same time. Louis
, of Denver, drove up well in the last hall
and got so near to James that the judge
decided the heat a dead one, as between
the two; but from the other end Of th
