Susie s., Harry Howe. Blonde and
Bishop Hero. All four were abreast when
the half mile had been covered. Blonde
gained little but lost his advantage to
both Bishop Hero and Susie s.
who trotted down the home
stretch amid the frenzied yeIls of
the multitude. Bishop Hero was the win
ner in 2:27. Joe Kenney got in second
and Susie s. was third. The fourth heat
was uneyentful Bishop Hero and Blonde
ran it out, and the former won. Joe Ken
ney was third. Time, 2:26.
The pacing race, free for all, for a $500
purse, was called between the fourth and
fifth heats of the trotting contest.
Six entries showed up. G. w. G. APP
peared to be victim of the effects of her
voyage up from San Francisco, and she
wobbled over the track at gait that
caused her to be shut out by the fagman
in the first heat, in company with Mink
and Sorrel Frank. The heat was the
closest of the day. Rosie c. won it by the
merest fraction of head. Gold Medal
pressed her to doing mile in 2:20I<. Tom
Lynne was third. The crowd yelled
ferociously at the finish, and without
doubt were responsible for Gold Medals
failure to come first under the wire. In
the second heat the order was reversed.
Rosie C. barely passed the flag, while
Tommy Lynne was the winner in 2:21H.
Gold Medal was second again.
The next layer in the sandwich was the
fifth heat of the trotting race. Blonde
won it in 2:26l<. The contest for second
place was hard fight between Bishop
Hero and Susie S., who came under the
xrfr 81
Bishop Hero each had two heats at con-
clusion of the fifth. The concluding heat
was very interesting The two horses had
the track to themselves. Blonde led off.
Both pounded the track with steady foot
steps. The bright purple of Blondes
driver showed through the trees little in
the lead at the half mile. Blonde was
ahead at fve-eighths, but things were
rushing. Bishop pulled ahead at the
stretch, and made the race by fifty feet.
The PAGERS took another turn around the
track after the band had played another
lively air. Rosie G. made good race clear
through the third heat and went under the
wire ahead of Gold Medal on a run and
was set back and the heat given to the
latter. Tommy Lynne was third. Each
one of the three leaders had heat to his
credit. AT the end of the fourth heat
Rosie C. had two of them. Tommy Lynne
and Gold Medal were all together clear
down the stretch. 1t was the prettiest
contest of the day. Rosie C.'s advantage
at the close was only short neck. The
time was 2:23sz. The fifth heat settled the
whole business. Rosie G.. got another lead
and held it and won the race, whip down.
The time of the heat was 2:23. Tommy
Lynne was second and Gold Medal third.
The three-quarter dash was won by Cy-
clone, with Malcolm close second. Rose
burg was third. Time, 1:141l.
The last event of the day was quarter
mile dash for an extra purse of $500. Jim
Miller was the winner, in 22H.
