Ahis Was the most exciting contest of
the day, and il is probable that more
money changed hands on account OF
this race than all the others combined.
Miss Thompson appeared TO be the
| favorite and oilers OF two TO one were
passed in silence, while there were
those who wanted TO bet five TO one as
| to the defeat OF other horses. The con.
tst was an interesting and spirited one
and the Weyanote horse made an ex-
cellent beginning, winning the first
two heats with apparent ease. Kate
Clarke, a Washington horse, against
whom great odds were offered during
the first two heats, soon displayed her
great speed and shared the popularity
of Miss Thompson before the race was
over.
The following was the result of this
contest:
First hest-Three Tips second, Miss
Thompson first, Little Betz third, Kate
Clarke fourth. Time. 234.
Second heat-Three Tips third, Miss
Thompson first, Little Betz second, Kate
Clarke fourth. Time, 2:34,

Thompson second, Little Betz third,
Kate Clarke first. Time, 2:36.

Thompson second, Little Betz fourth,
Kate Clarke first Time, 2:34.
Fifth heat-Three Tips third, Miss
Thompson first. Kate Clarke second.
Time, 2:34. Little Betz was withdrawn
by mutual consent Of all concerned.
