pace and lead along the backstretch,
and at the half post was four lengths
ahead of Jim Leach, the others being
ten lengths in the rear, trotting wheel to
wheel. Turning into the straight Lucy
r. had six lengths the best OF it, and
increasing this distance by four lengths,
won the heat easily. Jim Leach was
second, and Mckinney finished poor
third. Bashaw was shut out, the pace
being too hot for him. Time, 2:22L.
Third heat-A few pools were sold on
the third heat, with Lucy r. favorite, at
odds of B to l against the field. The
horses went away at the third attempt
with Lucy R. in the lead; and Nc
Kinney and Jim Leach trotting wheel
to wheel. Mckinney lost ground at
the first turn, and from the stables to
the half post, the trio were strung out
about two lengths apart. Mckinney
lost two lengths at the three-quarter turn,
but soon began to increase his pace and
rapidly closed the gap between himself
and the leaders. AS they came up to
the stretch, Jim Leach challenged the
favorite, and pretty race ensued but
the mare was too speedy for him and
came under the wire with good length
to spare, Mckinney being six lengths in
| the rear.
Time, 22334.
Fourth heat-It was almost dark when
the horses were called out for the next
heat. but after single break they were
sent off to a capital start. 1t was evil
dent from the first that Durfee intended
to work Mckinney for all that he was
worth, and the result was that those who
remained witnessed pretty race from
start to finish. Mckinney and the mare
went neck and neck to the first turn,
when the latter, having the pole, shot to
the front fully two lengths. Before the
quarter post was reached, Mckinney de-
creased this advantage by length, and
as they went down the backstretch Jim
Leach, who had been three lengths in
the rear, began to creep up, so
that they were all close together as they
entered the stretch. Mckinney then
began to wear the mare out, and when
within an eighth of home she dropped
back. Jim Leach then challenged Nc
Kinney, and after whipping finish just
managed to land under the wire short
neck in front of Mckinney. The heat
was, however, awarded to Mckinney, as
the keen eyes of the judges had detected
Jim Leach running nearly the whole
length of the backstretch. Time, 2:27.
1t being too dark to see across the track
at this time, $40 o'clock, the judges an
nounced that the race would be post
poned on that account until today.
The polo pony race, quarter mile

owners, all of whom were members of
the Santa Monica Polo club. There were

start, and very exciting race between
