pole. Iney are Ill III punch at IHe
head OF the stretch, and it is anybody's
race. The pace is very fast and every
horse is getting the whip. Washington
Bartlett has enough of it, and quits at
the tank. 1t looks like Ben H., but
when within two hundred yards of the
wire Rube again takes the lead and
lands the race by half length from
Guadaloupe, in l:5l1s, with Ben H.
close to them.
When the boys came to the stand to
weigh in Cook, who rode Guadalupe,
stated that when he was only sixteenth
from the wire dog ran across the track
and almost in front of his horses feet.
Guadalupe shortened his stride and
then jumped over the dog, and Ben H.
had to do the same thing.
FOURTH RACE.
The fourth race, the special trot, con-
cludes the days programme. Jud
Wilkes, Waldo McGregor and Miss Mon
roe are the starters.
First heat-Maben takes the lead
with Jud Wilkes before the eighth is
reached, and is three lengths ahead of
Miss Monroe at the quarter by reason
OF bad break by the mare. Waldo
McGregor appears to be out of it en-
tirely. Miss Monroe makes up con-
siderable ground on the backstretch,
and collars Jud Wilkes on the turn into
the stretch. Waldo McGregor shows
what he is made of by coming right up
way down the stretch and the mare
also has Jud Wilkes beaten, and
ho
take the heat. He surely has the mare
few yards of the wire, and races in
head and head with Miss Monroe in
2:2734. The judges give him the place.
Pools sold: J1d Wilkes, $40; field,
SIG.
The betting changed very materially
the second heat. Waldo McGregor was
run up to $75 in the auction pools, Miss
Monroe bringing $25, Jud Wilkes 500.
Second heat-Jud Wilkes again takes
the lead on the first turn, and at the
quarter is length ahead OF Miss Mon
roe, who in turn has several lengths the
best Of Waldo McGregor. Miss Monroe
passes Wilkes on the upper turn, and as
in the previous heat, Wilkes stable COM
panion is sent against her. McGregor
breaks in the stretch, and the mare wins
the heat in walk. The time is :271S.
The pools again change, Miss Monroe
being made the favorite at $50, and
everything is at skies and sevens. 1t is
apparent that job has been put up to
give the race to McGregor.
Third heat-When the horses come
out for the heat Maben is behind Waldo
McGregor and Johnston drives Jud
Wilkes. The drivers are called to the
stand and the judges order Maben to
drive Wilkes and take Johnston down,
putting Delaney in to drive McGregor.
Doyle is called to the stand and warned
to drive straight race and not lay up g
heat.
The word is given after a half dozen
attempts and they get away. The Job
is made more apparent by the way the
mare is driven for the heat, and Nc
Gregor wins in 2:29. Doyle is called up
to the stand and instructed to hand
Miss Monroe over to Connolly, who gets
instructions to keep her until further
orders and to drive her for the race.
This action staggers the gang and the
pool box is practically let alone, but the
factions come together and have some
thing of a scrimmage near the pool shed.
Altogether it was disgraceful affair.
Fourth heat-They go at clipping
pace from the word, but it is so dark
that the horses can scarcely be seen
after they pass the quarter. Two of
them appear to be running along the
backstretch, but Miss Monroe trots
home ten lengths ahead of McGregor.
After long discussion the judges award
the heat to McGregor, under tue rule
that driver shall pull horse to his
gait when he breaks. Connolly stated
while he was weighing in that they
forced him from one side of the track to
the other and scared the mare 80 badly
that he could do nothing with her. The
judges were criticised for having called
the heat when it was growing so dark.
The time was 2:294. The announce
ment was made that the fifth heat will
be called at O'Clock sharp today.
