1t was a day of grand standsfinishes, of
fast miles and furious competition for
honorS. Every heat was race, and eY-
cry race a hot one from wire to wire.
The 5000 people who witnessed the
days entertainment went home highly
pleased with it. OF course some of
them dropped money. Everyone was
ready to back the Tedoubtable Temple
Bar against Blasebury, and did back him,
but Blasebury showed speed enough to
give DR.. Sales horse the first drubbing
he has had in two seasons, and the
fancy lost money on the result. The
track was in splendid shape and every
one was
In Good HumOr,
even the people who lost their money.
Starter Baird deserves credit for care
full and conscientious work in the start
er's stand. He leaves for Lansing to-
day. The managers assert that the
receipts for the four days are largely IN
excess of last years, and they are well
satisfied with the result. Taking 1t all
round. the meeting has been a success
from every point of view.
One of the best features exhibited by
the Butler combination during the
meeting was that introduced yesterday,
a mile running race between double
teams driven to skeleton wagons. The
distance was covered in1:55 by the win
ming team. making a very fast mile, CON
siderng the circumstances.
The Five-HEiIe Race
between Miss Mckinney, of California.
and Miss Williams, of Kansas, was, as
usual. one of the most interesting feat
ures of the programme. Miss McKin-
ney got away with a hundred yards of
lead in the second mile, but Miss Will
iams, by hard riding and good general
ship, made up the distance and came
into the home stretch on the last mile
neck and neck with her opponent. 1t
was a whipping finish and well ridden
one. Miss Williams got past the post
first by a neck, and won the race IN
10:4374.
