passed the wire. Around the turn and the
half Marigold and Rico ran neck and neck,
Mabel f trailing two lengths behind the
pair and reaching the halt in 0:j5ja. In the
turn into the stretch Mabel moved up to the
leaders, and as the trio punched Rico fouled
Marlgold, taking MarlsOld position. Mari
gold dropped behind a length, and RI, o
came in under the wire half length ahead
OF Mabel +, and the shOTt-enders, who had

iavorile, bringing $50 to IS and So on the

dropped behind. Pilot went to the half in
! :26, and came home without skip in , :5212
Elastic two lengths behind and Eda just
turning into the stretch. No pools were
to the front while Elastic went to pieces on
tie turn. His driver was unable to hold
him down and he ran with his head high in
the air TO the first quarter, while Pilot
Prince trOtted along smoothly to the half in
%, and went under the wire four lengths
ahe d in 2 Az. Pilot Prince was given the
race and first money, and Elastic was dis
t.pced for running.
The race of the day was the trot between
Percy Williams Beaury Nc and Saulsbury'S
HomeStake; johnny - Buster" was up be-
bind Nc and Andy Mcdowell held the rib
bons over Homtstake. Beaury Nc sold
choice in the pools, bringing S25 to S22 80
and S25 to SIS. The pair got pretty send
off, going to the quarter on about even terms
in 0:36k. Nc drew ahead. and at the half,
which was made in l:O9A, was leading by an
open length. On the upper turn Nc left his
feet, making most disastrous break that
gave Homestake a good lead of dozen
lengths. Down the stretch he trotted very
fast, closing the gap six lengths. Home
stake won in jog in 2:24. Beaury Nc was
a favorite in the second heat at $40 to S25.
When the horses came on the track tn
judge admOnished John " Buster" that he
should drive to win the race. Buster !"
replied that any horse is liable 10
make q misstep. aid he went on TO
score HOmestake cut out the work and
settled down to a rapid pace, going to the
quarter in 0 :a35ha and the half in :09, with
Me at his wheel. Both horses were urged
TO their utmost, and into the stretch they
came at a Tattlng gait Neither made skip,
but the pace set by HOmeStake was too fast
for the favoritc, who fell back, ana Home
stake went under the wire III the very good
time of 2:17A. Beaury Nc was scarcely
two lengths behind.
There was considerable hedging among
the pOOl-buyers at the end Of the second
heat, and Homestake became a warm favor
ite, selling for S25 to Sc ON Nc. The third
heat was but a repetition of the previous
one, Homestake laying out the work and
taking the lead from the wire The quarter
was reached in 0:35h, and the half in :09
At no time did Beaury Nc get nearer than
Homestake's wheel, and in the stretch he
lost ground, HomeStake winning the heat in
2:1SR and first money. The shortenders
made another killing in this race.
