SUSONG GETS THE RACE.
oPIIsnsr GOES OUT ON ACCOUNT
OF THE JUDGES DECISION.

They Sustain q Charge Of Foul in the
Fourth Feat and Opiimist's Driver
Refuses to Fiaish- Sorrel Clay Wins
in the Free-for-All Colt Contest-Dolly
the Winner in the Running Race.
Aboat 600 people went out TO the races at
Thunderbolt yesterday afternoon. The
weather was delightful, the track in splen-
did condition, and the spectators were well
pleased with the afternoons events.
The racing was good, and the majority
of the events we're decided in fast time
The attraction Of the day was the match
between the local trotters. Susong and
Optimist. Both horses had large numbers
OF friends present, and the race was
watched with much interest. Optimist was
the favorite in the betting, and when his
owner, Z. Muhlberg, drove him by the
judges stand before the race started, both
horse and driver received perfect ovation
At 2:30 O'Clock the judges, Messrs. Young
love, Powers, and West, called the horses up
for the first heat. After few scores they
were given the word in a splendid start
On the first turn Optimist took the lead
and kept it throughout the heat. Time
2:401.
The second heat proved another walkover
for Optimist In 2:44
In the third heat Susong did some fine
trotting. He took the lead near the quar-
ter pole and kept 1t 70 the finish. Optimist
made lively brush at him in the home
stretch. but failed TO reach MS lead. Time
of heat, 2:44.
The fourth heat was the best and the most
hotly contested Of any. Mr.. Muhlberg did
some excellent driving behind Optimist,
and landed her first at the wire. Susong's
driver, w. 7. Burch, claimed that OptimIst
had fouled him on the first turn, which
claim the judges sustained, and credited the
heat to Snsong. Mr.. Muhlberg protested
that he had not foulsd Susong, and declined
to finish the race. When the bell was rung
for the fifth heat Optimist failed to show
up, and Susong was driven over the course
| and declared the winner.
The next was the free-for-all colt contest,
Sorrel Clay, entered and driven by A. P.
Doyle, was an easy winner. Little Foots
| finished second, with Pride third. Time
1881, 1885, 3:39 and 3:34
Dolly D., the beautiful mare owned
| ty Miller Max, won the running race in a
gallop. The other horse, with Thompson
up, was not in it in any part of the race
The match between Maggie Lisbon and
Tom II. was a disappointment, from a
racing point of view. Maggie Lisbon won
the first heat easily In 258 In the second
heat Tom Fl. lead the race to the half. At
this point, when Maggie was gaining on
him, her bit broke and she ran several hun
drsd yards, being stopped by her driver,
G. w. Baker. Both driver and horse es,
capped uninJured. Tom 81. finished the
mile in 2:56, and was declared winner of
the heat and race. Maggie, on account OF
