the bend, and at the quarter was lead
ing the others by couple of lengths.
AS they went along the backstretch,.
Orphan Girl and Alec, who were on al
most even terms, commenced to move
up simultaneously and at the half mark
they were within three-quarters of a
length of Carrie S. They trotted to-
gether to the head of the stretch, when
Alec went to the front. Half way up
the straight, however, both he and
Carrie S. broke, and Orphan Girl came
away and won easily by several lengths
from Carrie S. Under the rules Alec
was sent to the stable. Time, 2:37.

Sixth heat-After scoring three times
the pair went away well together, but

The second event was three-quarter

made by two-year Odds on that track and
was next to the state record made by
Racine.
The race-The flag fell to beautiful
start, and the quartette jumped off so
closely punched that blanket would
have covered them. Mystery was first
to show in the lead, but they raced we'll
together to the turn, when Peri and
Conrad shot to the front and Cheerful
dropped to the rear. The leaders raced
neck and neck to the head of the
stretch, when Mystery, who had been
laying back at their fanks, came with a
rush and got on even terms with them.
All three came up the straight for home
under the whip, but Mystery just man.

strides by neck from Conrad, who beat
Peri for second place by the same dis
lance. Cheerful was 10 lengths in the
rear at the finish. Time, :14A.
The Pasadena handicap, mile race
for 3-year-olds, was another fast perf0r-
nance. The talent was very much
divided in its opinion as to the relative
chances of Minuet and Raindrop, and
each was heavily backed at almost even
money. The distance was too much for
Minuet, who quit at the last eighth.
The race-After good deal of skir-
mishing for start, Larghetto showed a
disposition to sulk and got off very
badly. Minuet and Raindrop, however,
were side by side and racing together at
terrific pace. The former led by
neck all along the backstretch and round
the bend to the head Of the stretch,
when the colored boy commenced to
ply the whip. The mare was beaten
out after slashing finish, however, and
Raindrop won handily by two lengths
with lots to spare. Time, :42a.
The last race, a special mixed pacing
and trotting race, was one of the most
evenly contested events that has been
seen on the track for long time, and
was full of surprises from start to finish.
Darkness, unfortunately, prevented its
being decided last night.
First heat-The trio received the word
at the first attempt, and all were going
strong. Both Leonore and Rory broke
at the turn, however, and Sunrise took
the lead. Rory was on his feet again
like flash, and passed Sunrise before
the quarter was reached. He broke
again on the backstretch, and at the half
they were strung outsix lengths apart in
the following order: Sunrise, Rory and
Leonore. Rounding the bend Sunrise
went up, and Rory went to the front.

awarded the heat to Leonore, but this
decision was received with howls of dis
satisfaction, as a large number were of
the opinion that it should have been
given to Sunrise; time, 2:24.

Second heat-The trio scored once be-

line when they received the word. Rory
took the pole at the turn and was four
lengths ahead at the quarter post, Leo
more and Sunrise being strung out the
same distance apart. LeOnore moved
up along the backstretch and was on
even terms with Rory when they passed
the half mark. At the bend Rory broke
and Leonore shot ahead six lengths, but
when they entered the straight Rory
and Sunrise came with rush. The
little mare was game, however, and after
driving finish just beat Rory home by
half length, Sunrise being three
lengths in the rear. Time, 2:421Aa.

Third heat-The horses went away on
their journey to another good start.
Rory was in the front at the bend, with
Leonore and Sunrise close on his trail.
Going down the backstretch, however,
he broke, and was passed by Leonore
and Sunrise. The latter broke at the
half mile and as they turned the corner
Leonore had six lengths the best of it,
Rory having broken again. Both Sun
rise and Rory, however, came with a
rush at the head of the stretch, and al
ter driving finish, which was wildly
exciting, Sunrise came to the front and
won by three-quarters of a length from
Rory who was off his feet again. Leo
more was right at the latter's wheel.
Time, 2:27.
