EeN MNFL>HfRNl turned 10 the wire
SSZC<HEY in 2:35. This in fact
TZe%tFW was regarded most
%Hb- wonderful showing
for a 2-year-old. He belongs TO .Abiline
and his owner says his best mark shall be
made when he belongs to Kansas. Some
crowds are likely to yell themselves hoarse
over Patsy in campaign in the near fu-
ture. c. n. Curtiss expects for his name
TO be handed down a few centuries by
Patsy.
This also recalls the surprising record of
Myron McHenry on Tuesday, doing a mile
in 2:37E. The two of the same age are
likely to draw great crowds some time and
1t will be Kansas horses that will be at
tracing the hOrsemen of the entire coun-
try.
Last evening the brides were hanging
up" and the campaigners were seek
ing some rest for another week.
They travel in Burton cars, making part
of a passenger train. They have Pullman
car accommodations and when their own
crs win they can afford good accommOda-
tons for themselves When they lose
sometimes they toss around doubled up on
smoker seats suggestive of having put
uD with diet of green apples. The JOY
and glee of the hOrsemen sometimes fade
away quickly into trials and tribulations.
But the constant efforts to present bold
front makes the face of the old fellows
hard to read. They look like they hold all
Of kind when they have only bob
tail"
Some of the horses leave today for the
Fort Scott races. Ashland Wilkes, Joe
Young Condo, Walter T., Major Wonder
and Turk left last evening for Denver. If
they are killed en- ronte the Missouri Pa
cifc will hardly declare dividend at the
end of the present quarter. But the dis
! patchers along the line probably kept
awake last night and the engineer on
| the run looked out for bad track.
They 20 to Denver as the
| leading attraction for the week. Next
week Pueblo will be playing the mutuals
and Doc Hamilton will run a side issue
and not lose much at the end of the week.
One of the features of the speed ring
! outline was the clever betting. There
was never 4 fair in the state where there
was so much ''plunging.' 1t was lively
every day and especially Thursday, when
the friends of Joe Young and Ashland
! looked at each other with fire in their
/ eyes. One side may have had more
money than the other but scarcely
more determination. The betting was
good all week as a result Of so many inter
esting races. The people were on hand by
! the thousands and they were enthusiastic.
! They could not help being interested to the
! point of enthusiasm Among the pleasant
! features of the racing is the fact that the
starter, clerk, Judges and timers give com
plete satisfaction. There were no kicks
about any of them. This is something
unusual in such an extensive field Of
! horses but il is fact. Mr.. J. H. Vance,
of Winfield. give the word in every heat.
He was quite cool and did not hesitate to
! fine drivers when they were delaying and
working to seek an advantage His work
give general satisfaction. The judges, w.
| f. Tredwell of Anthony, j. +. Howard of
/ Burton and j. +. Woodford of Burling-
ton. are very highly complimented by the
people and Clerk c. NJ Buckles of Bur
! lngton was always quick and exact with
the records. The success of the speed ring
in no small degree is due to the gentlemen
named.

Wilkie Russell having record Of 2:lS$I,
made on Thursday, was the leading favor
tie in the mutual box Everyday and
Telephone were also favorites and the field
attracted little attention. The first heat
won by Wilkie in Pisa, showed that the
owner meant business and for the second
heat there was hut one favorite The field
was stronger, however, but the second
heat being won by Wilkie. the favorite for
the third was stronger than the field. IL
went Everyway in the third and for the
fourth heat the boys in the mutual box
