bad at the quarter, and Laura and
Prophet Wilkes went down with a
crash, one sulky being mashed. Dorsey
led To the quarter, when George Wilkes
went to the front and held it TO the
finish, being closely pushed by Miss
Cumsey all the way around, in very
nice heat, Dorsey being third. Time,
2:32. Mutuals paid So. The starters
announced that Lanra and Wilkes
should hold their places, the former be-
ing eighth and Wilkes ninth, and could
start over again il able.
SECOND HEAT-There was some delay
In this heat, Laura casting shoe, and
the other nags were asked to wait. At
3:35 the announcement sail right" was
given. The horses got away at 3:40,
Wilkes, the favorite in the pools, lead
ing around the turn, with Miss Cumsey
second and o. B. close third. o. b.
pulled up second just before the three
quarters, where he took the lead and
held it right around in good shape, Miss
Cumsey second and George Wilkes
third. The time was 2:2S15. Mutuals
paid SO.
THIRD HEAT-On the first score In
this race George A. and Laura B. col
lided at the upper end of the grand
stand, and Laura's driver, Mr..
Kiggar, turned complete SOM
mersault, holding on to his horse,
however, and being given three
cheers by the stand for his nerve.
Georges sulkY lost wheel, but neither
driver or horse was hurt. This
was Laura's second accident, and the
band played Annie Laurie. The mis-
hap was entirely Georges fault, as he
ought to have been up with the other
scorers. o. B. led around to the quar-
ter, Miss Cumsey second, and the
leader held his place by length to the
half, Prophet Wilkes being third TO the
three-quarterS. o. 3. won the heat,
Prophet Wilkes second, and Miss Cum
sey third. Time, 2:32A. Mutuals paid
$3.50. There was big kick in the
grand stand when the horses got away
on this heat, Mr.. Wheeler's spring bell
ringing on him as he gave the word
"go." There was a chorus of cries OF
''ring the BELL" "call 'em back" etc,
but the nags went on, and OF the end
Mr.. Wheeler explained the ringing from
the stand, and gaid the word ego"
meant "go," and that all the difference
the bell made was no horse could be dis
tanced. This was accepted as satisfac-
tory.
FOURTH HEAT-O. B. sold $40, field
81. There was some talk OF taking
Prophet Wilkes driver off, it being
claimed the horse could go in PIG, but
nothing was done. There was lot Of
bad scoring, which S25 fine would have
Strengthened out, the horses not getting
away until half past five. About the
only thing done was to warn Dorsey he
would be left If he didn't score up front.
o. i. led around to turn, Prophet Wilkes
second, holding this to the quarter,
with Miss Cumsey third. AT the half
q. 3. led Wilkes by two lengths, with
Cumsey two behind for third place.

and the nags came around the turn like
a procession. o. b. won easily in 1888.
Mutuals paid $40.
