MONEY-HUNTERWINS
NE EASILY CAPTURES THE FIRST,
SECOND, AND FOURTH HEATS.
Goth Horses Seem Tied Up and Make slow
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to Tros
TODAY.

The race trotted over the Exposition
course yesterday afternoon between
Money Hunter and Toodles, Jr., was
Disappointing TO all who witnessed It,
That the former, proved the winner
vas not great surprise TO the majority
Of those present but it was expected
that the contest would be much more
spirited and that both OF the horses
would show greater speed.
OF the race there is really little to say
Except that ii was won with apparent
ease in the first, second, and fourth heats
in much slower time than was antici-
psted.
BOTH TIED Up.
Tho sudden change OF weather seemed
70 have cited mp" both horses aud
taken from them at least Six or eight
seconds of their speed. Money Hunter
ON the 10th instant made a record III q
race with ten horses at Pimlico OF 2:29t
and Ioodles was timed at Lynchburg IN
two heats better than 2:35. That track
ia al least three seconds slower than the
one here.
Money-Hunter drew the pole in the
first heat, and won as he pleased In z:43,t.
Che second was only repetition OF the
first Time, DAB =,
Between the second and third the
owner OF Toodles decided not only 10
change drivers but to put on much
lighter front shoes This necessitated a
delay which was tiresome, particularly
10 those who had backed Toodles.
DROVE HIN TO WIN.
William Bass, who drove Roanoke
Maid To her record of 2:27. in the fourth
heat of the race at Pimlico, which she
won in such splendid style, piloted the
little horse in the third heat, which after
a superb finish down the stretch he
captured in 2:4O. just before swinging
into the straight Toodles cast one OF his
shoes. The hunt for shoe and the time
lost in replacing 1t consumed at least
three quarters OF an hour.
When they made their appearance Tor
the fourth heat there we're a great many
horsemen GU who predicted that it was
Toodles's race, but before the eighth
mole was reached Toodles made q
irangllng break which lost him all
chance of winning the heat, though Bass
settled him and gave Hunter good but
hopeless chase home. Hunter dldn
bobble in the mile, which WAS trotted III
2:36y-last half III 1:l6i.
TIE WINNER.

race Yesterday and also at Baltimore 10y

While he put $500 to his credit with bis

his faithful groom and ardent admner,
Jack Strang.
