SOME WARM RACING.
Great Sport for Everybody at
the Hamline Race Track
Yesterday.
Every Race Was Square and
the Horses Trotted for
Blood Throughout.
Keno F Won the Trotting
Match and Minnie Wilkes
the Pacing Contest.

Wonderful Time Made Consid-
ering the Classes to Which
the Horses Belonged.
There was good sport at Hamline yes
terday, the second day of the Minnesota
Driving club meetlng-sport which de-
served better patronage than it re-
ceived. Those who were at the track
saw some races such as are seldom seen.
When six trotterS of the $50 class go on
to the track and trot five heats to decide
race, going every heat in better than
2:22, with three horses and usually four
racing for the lead and the winner get
ting there by head OF neck, the con-
tests are exciting. Such Was the $50
trot at Hamline yesterday. In the pac-
ing race, for horses of the $40 class.
the time was even more wonderful. The
first heat was paced in 2:2S11a and the
remaining three in 2:21 or better.
all the races were for blood, too, and
there was little jockeying. The grand
stand was not by any means full, there
being probably not over 1000 persons
there. with few on the verandaS of the
club house. Among the spectators were
many ladies. who seemed to enjoy the
racing as much as any one. The day
was perfect for such sport, the heat of
the sun being tempered by refreshing
breeze, and the track was in excellent
condition, as is evidenced by the time
made. The races were handled in
oh l re no
were unknown, and everybody was
pleased with the smoothness with
which everything connected with the
track was conducted.
The first event on the card was the
2:30 trOt for stake of -. 900. TyrOlean
was the favorite at 25 to IL against the
field, and the betting was quite brisk.
The fayorite drew the pole, Harmonic
next, Joe Ec S.man third. Twist fourth,
Keno fifth and Jessie Graves OH the out
side. The horses were all full Ofginger,
and good deal of time was lost in scor-
ing. Twists driver could not hold her.
and after repeated warnings was fined
SO. The horses got off Oh the tenth
trial, and it was horse race from start
to finish. as the time for horses in the
2:3O class proves. Twist broke just as
the horses passed the wire. but soon
caught, and around the turn Tyrolean
led, HarmOnica second and the others
punched. The quarter was made in 3515,
the places not being materially changed,
except that Joe Eastman was irIetriev-
ably in the rear. The time at the half
was :O9s4, Tyrolean still leading. Har-
monia second and the others we'll up,
except Joe Eastman. At the three
quarters they were still closer together,
but around the turn Tyrolean left his
feet and Jessie Gaines. who had been
hanging OH to the outside away from
the bunch, pulled to the front. Down
the stretch it was pretty race, but
the careful nursing which Jessie Gaines
driver had given her in the scoring told.
and she could not be headed, winning
in 2:2015. Twist would break, but she
caught up easily, and came in second,
half length behind, with Keno good
third, Tyrolean fourth and Harmonic
fifth, close together, and Joe Eastman
sixth, several lengths behind.
Less time was wasted in scoring for
the second heat. Tyrolean still stood
the favorite in the betting, but Jessie
Gaines took the lead from the start and
was never headed. The quarter was
made in 95 seconds, and all the way
down the back stretch the race was a
procession. The time for the half mile
was 1:1019, with Keno, Twist and "
rolean fighting for second place. The
three-quarters was made in 1:40%.
Around the turn Keno pushed to the
front and Tyroiean broke. Jessie
the stretch, but it was neck and neck
struggle between Keno and Twist for
second, the former getting the place by
head, TvrOlean fourth, Joe Eastman
fifth, Harmonic sixth. The last quar-
ter was made in 34Sl and the heat in
2:19%.
The third heat was another fast one.
The quarter was made in 50, the half in
ITO and the three-Quarters in 1:45
Harmonic was far in the rear at the
start, but her driver nodded for the
word and they we're sent away. Jessie
Gaines led at the quarter, Keno second,
Twist third. Tyroleon and Joe Eastman
several lengths behind. Jessie Gaines
driver seemed intent on winning the
race from the start, but Keno gave her
hard trot down to the three-Quarters,
where the chestnut geding was good
second. Twist broke on the turn and
Tyrolean took third place. Down the
stretch it was a beautiful race between
Keno and Jessie Gaines. The brown
gelding was out for first place, and he
secured it by head. Twist he'd re-
covered herself and come in third two
lenghths behind, Tyrolean fourth and
Joe Eastman fifth. The distance flag
fell ON Harmonic.
Keno had the fourth heat pretty much
all his own way. Jessie Gaines trotted
all there was in her, but she began to
show the effects of the PAGES that had
been made. She broke on the turn, land
Keno went to the front by several
lengths. but the brown mare caught
quickly. Twist and Tyrolean were
struggling for third place. Jessie
Gaines worked hard down the back
stretch, and on the lower turn was
pushing Keno. Once in the stretch,
however, Keno could not be passed, he
winning by a good length, Twist three
lengths behind, a half length in front
Of Tyrolean, Joe Eastman last.
The fifth heat was not particularly
exciting. Jessie Gaines would not stay
OH her feet and couldn't win. Twist
had new driver and thereby secured
second place. Tyrolean, as usual, had
a cinch on fourth place, and held it I'M
opposed, Joe Eastman having been
withdrawn. Keno was never headed.
Twlstpassed Jessie Gaines just before
reaching the three-quarter pole and
pushed Keno down the stretch, but the
chestnut gelding had too much staying
power, and won the heat in 2:20, the
time by quarters being 35s4, 1:1O% and
1:45. This gave Keno first money,
$1,000; Jessie Gaines second. $500;
Twist third, $500, and Tyrolean fourth,
5000. Following is the summary:
