Aliens Nellie. Billy r. won the three
heats in $40, $40 and 2:39&, with Belle
Sprague second. DR.. Meers' black horse,
Whitefoot and Ed. HOLSTERS Betsy trot-
ted for the second race. WhitefOot won
three straight heats in 2:53, 2:49 and

ting very pleasantly. The jolly Sheriff |
was quite happy over the result of the
first heat, as his pony won but the other
two heats were pulled in by the rival nag

quite turn out. Kenosha County can
