lenths away when Leonore got down to
work again, but she soon began to close
the gap, and at the quarter was less
than four lengths behind them. Dick
Richmond, who at this point was half a
length in front, soon placed another
length between himself and LARGO, the
latter having brokenat the tank, but
Leonore commenced moving in dead
earnest and at the half was close to the
gray. At the turn Dick Richmond
went up in the air and the favorite went
past him like fash and took the lead
by six lengths, increasing it to ten at
the head of the stretch. LARGO and
Dick Richmond entered the home
stretch together, but the latter drew
away in vain effort to overtake Leonore
who won the heat and the race in jog
by five lengths. Pendennis came in at
the finish and snatched the third place
from LARGO. Time 2.25 1-2.
Pools sold: Leonore 500; the field Sc.
The 2 :25 class pacing race for purse
OF $500, was the event on the card.
There were only three starters for it:
Silkwood, Rory O'More and Acrobat;
but practically the frst-named was the
only one in the race. Pools were sold
before the first heat, with Silkwood fav-
orite at odds of three to one against the
field; but he outfooted his opponents
SO easily as to preclude the possibility of
selling pools after it was over.
First heat After innumerable at
tempts, during which Silkwood was
steady as rock, the trio was sent away,
Acrobat having the pole and the favorite
being on the outside, Silkwood at once
10
badly at the turn, falling back two
lengths. This order was maintained to
the half, Acrobat being almost six
teenth of mile behind. Going round
the corner however, Rory O'More came
with rush and passing the favorite,
was six lengths in the lead at the head
let out, Rory broke, and the favorite
was too late, Silkwood after driving
length. Acrobat was distanced. Time
2:21A. Pools sold: Silkwood $40; the
field So.
Second heat-The pair was sent away
at speedy clip and paced wheel to
wheel to the turn, where Rory broke.
Silkwood then drew away and gaining a
lead of at least two lengths, maintained
it easily to the end of the circuit, the
pace being altogether too hot for the
little chestnut. Time 2:20. No pools
sold.
Third heat-But little interest was
manifested in the last heat as, after the
favorite's performance in the preceding
one, the result was no longer in doubt,
and the crowd began to disperse home
wards. At the first attempt the pair
was sent away, but as in the preceding
heats Rory O'More, who had been going
well up with the favorite, broke at the
first turn and lost more ground than he
was able to recover. Silkwood went to
the front and moving like clockwork all
the way round the circuit, won both
heat and race with the greatest of ease
by fully seven lengths. Time 2.2034.
