She won as she pleased. and repeated the
performance in the second and third heats.
In the last. IL Goldsmith had desired he
could easily have shut the Rose out and left
her 10 bloom solidarity and forgotten some
where on the backstretch, but he contenied
himself with pulling up the FLY and quietly
walking in under the wire, while Rose just,
and only just, beat the flag and saved her
record credit.

A special for $3.50 purse followed, the
money hung up being probably cut up
equally between the four starters, Flora G,
far as the cash was concerned. it was al
most like giving the quartet $50 apiece for
work out with the extra SO to be handed
TO the rubbers. But 1t was trotted out
honestly enough, though none of the let
with possibly the exception OF the winner,
seemed within month of a strong race.
Yesterdays showing does not indicate
what all can do when in fix. When Free
Coinage and Electress, the latter especially,
have had a race or two more then they Will
have an excellent chance TO beat the winner.
Pete Brandow sent Coinage along for all he
was worth, but even his attempt to change
the luck in the second heat by taking his
cigar out of his mouth and placing it in his
vest pocket was not worth anything. and
the ''oof' bird failed to lay an egg Peter
had to be content with second hoDors.
Flora was never headed throughout and
won the first heat by five lengths. the second

So far the betting had been slightly sub
dued and but few dueats had been ventured
by the moneyed players, who in the
mutuals especially. hardly cared to win
paltry six bits" on 50 risk. the rates re-
the first event. But tbs Baden lace made
them open their wallets. They liked the
gray gelding with his gray old driver, Orrin
Hickok, handling the lines. They re-
membered his clever defeat Of about the
same gang that were against him last Tues
day and when the speculation opened they

in went the money on the 2:10 class race,
the last OF the day, There was quiet but
very profitable tip out on Serena to beat
Baden. Johnny Goldsmith, her owner,
show the others a little speed. Then G w
s was fancied by the cheap end buyers.
They knew the horse did not like a hard
track and that his heels were cracked by
such going condition. but they also knew
that the Patcheu blood in the COLBY little
game as game cocks. In this estimate of
their initiated fancy they were correct, for
he was the only one of the lot to give Baden
a race and under more favorable conditions
the son OF AbbOtsford would have possibly
made Baden take a back seat. AS it was
he did very we'll and before the circuit is
over W S will win q good race or two.
Shylock, the Tom Benton gelding, was not
rated very high, an estimate he fully sus-
tanned in the race. In the meantime in
went the money on Baden at S12O against
$50 for Serena and SIT for the field and the
custom receipts for nearly an hour stood at
these proportions. In the mutuals an ex-
ceptionally heavy plunge was made On
Serena for the heat at the last moment and
made her almost an equal favorite with
Baden, thus returning the latter's supporters
nearly even money on his win for the heat.
Serena went off in the lead on the fourth
score with Baden on her wheel At the
quarter G w was second to her, with

Same at the half. Round the turn Serena
fractured her steps and paved the atmos-
phere. IVY was soon passed by Baden,
who led him two lengths at the three
quarter. Coming up the stretch G w S
made drive for the gray leader. but broke,
though not disastrously and catching quick
came on again very fast. de could not
Overtake the leader, who won by length.
Serena took third place and Shylock brought
up the rear Of the procession we'll back.
Odds in the auctions were now: Baden
$780, field $12 for the second heat, the friends
of Serena having lost much of their esprit
de corps, amour propre, je ne sails quot and
other heightened French attributes.
On the fourth come up for the heat
Serena at the word got away in 'front.' with
Baden second and w third. There was
no change TO the half. After turning the
corner Serena went cock-a-hoop, and IL
looked good-by to her chances Of success.
Baden took command. with G w S after
him red hot. Serena, having settled down.
came up very fast at the three-Quarters, and
the three factors in the race had merry
set-to up the st reich 10 the wire. Goldsmith
was jumping his sulky for all that he was
worth, c w hung on like little bulldog,
and Hickok, while not showing it, was
sending Baden along lively. The pace told,
and Baden got home first by half length
from W s, who forced Serena to break
just at the wire, and beat her out for second
money by neck.
Serena bad evidently shot her bolt, w S
was sore, Shylock never had even Jessica
show from the first and therefore it was
an almost moral certainty for the favorite to
win.
No pools could be disposed of for the
third and final heat, which Baden, after
leading c w S by length all the way to the
wire, had no difficulty in securing. Serena
got third place, and Shyock most modestly
stuck TO his position OF last
