A REGULAR SANTA ANA. aa
The day was very disagreeable one.
1t was windy and dusty, and so strong
was the wind that at II o'clock it looked
as ii the great event would have to be
postponed. AS the day grew older the
wind subsidized enough to let the race go.
The track was hard, and altogether the
conditions were anything but favorable.
Mckinney was installed first choice.
This was to be expected on account of
his brilliant performance at Stockton,
where he beat Coral, Lizzie E. and others,
making the third heat in 2:l71a. At
the start Mckinney sold for $40, Lucy
r. for $40 and Glendine for 50. AS the
betting settled down there was such a
rush to get Mckinney tickets that the
odds increased.
CRACK KNIGHTS OF THE sULKY.
Mckinney was driven by his owner,
Charles Durfee, and looked in superb
condition. Ed Connolly held the reins
over Glendine, who showed up in grand
fettle. Walter Maben was behind Lucy
R., the big Sultan mare. The excite
Pleasant called out the trio. A splendid
race was expected. Three of the fastest
horses in Southern California were
about to measure strides, and each horse
was driven by a master mechanic.
Charles Durfee is too well known to
need an introduction. He drove Arrow
into fame, and has given many horse
low mark. He is fearless and judi
IL g 20 ho ndt Int
| General Turner is to the east. Walter
Maben has been driving since he was a
youngster. He has no peer in handling
the Sultan stock. Walter has won many
great contest by clever and careful
driving at critical point. 1t was he
who first established the reputation OF
Stamboul. His brilliant victory with
Stamboul over Hickok and Arab will
long be remembered by those fortunate
enough to be present at the Los Angeles
fair three years ago.
Ed Connolly is q new man in these
parts. He halls from Denver, where his
reputation is gilt-edged. He drove l..
c. Lee to his record Of 2:15, and has
trained the fastest horses in Colorado
Connolly is quiet, unassuming fellow
but he is one of the grittiest men that
ever sat behind sulky.
SCORING FOR THE WORD.
Lucy R. broke repeatedly at the star
and spoiled several good send-offs. The
word was finally given on the eighth at.
tempt. 1t was grand start. Lucy R
gradually forged ahead and led McKin
ney by a length at the quarter in 81
seconds. A pretty contest followed
Mckinney hal!enged Lucy r. and had
slight lead at the half Il Ill witt
| Gendine three lengths in the rear. Con
molly urged Glendine, and the son o.
Judge Salisbury responded CALAMITY
1t was nip and tuck between the trio
until just before the q mile post wal
reached, when the cry went out, Lucy
r. is up" The mare lost half a dozer
lengths by the operation. The 4-polt
was reached in l AZ. 1t now settled
down to race between Mckinney
and Glendine, but the former had too
much speed and won by two lengths
with Glendine coming very fast unde
the wire; time, 2:2215. This was thu
fastest heat ever trotted over the SAINTS
Ana track.
Mckinney WINS AGAIN.
Mckinney was more pronounced la
vorite than ever after the first heat. Th'
trio got the word on the first attempt
Mckinney and Glendine were sulky ane
sulky at the quarter (36 seconds), witt
Lucy r. two lengths in the rear. 1t wa'
a pretty contest down the back stretch
the trio trotting like double team. Th'
half was made in :llA, with Lucy, Il
slightly in advance. They were bunchec
entering the straight, and the spectator
watched the battle in GREATNESS sus
pense. Mckinney was trotting like
machine, and despite the efforts Of Con
! molly and Maben they were unable t
beat the son Of Alcyone out. The tim'
