The second race, 224 class, pacing, for
$1,000, was the one that pleased disinterested
spectators. Seven heats were necessary to
decide it, something which has not hap
pened on the Homewood track for long
time. Frank Dorch, Hermitage, Robin, Min
and Plunger faced the starter The favorites
were Robin, Windsor H and Ravelli but the
people who bet on them were badly fooled:
Ravelli won the two. first heats and
Predmore was ordered off the track.
After that he hadn't a ghost of a chance to
land the one heat needed. The horses start
ed with Tavern at the pole, Robin next and
Dorch third. The other horses were scat
tered on the track, In the first heat Robin
broke badly, and Windsor H showed up
poorly. Neither were in it from start to fin
ish. Robin coming in last and Windsor III
Tavern was fourth, but broke under the
wire and went to fifth place to make room
for Shawhan. Little Min Young who caused
the trouble later on, held eighth position
into sixth place. He was warming up.
Ravelli got first place. Time, 22L
Dead Easy for Ravelli.
In the next heat Raveli had the pole,
Frank Dorch was second and Robin was on
the outside. Ravelli led from start to finish.
He broke near the finish, but recovered in
time to win by two lengths. Shawhan held
second place around to the three-quarter
pole, but dropped to fifth at the wirei Her
mltage held third place throughout the heat.
Dorch was again second, and Robin. the
favorite, was last from the start. Time,
2:2O4. The third heat was declared off for
reasons already referred to, anu Scar
borough drove Min Young. In the next heat
Ravelli led at the start being the pole
horse, and Min Young at once jumped into
second place. There was a loud cheer. He
held it to the three-quarter post, and beat
out the heat by length. Up to this time
Ravelh looked a sure winner, and some OF
the betters heaved sad sigh that almost
broke their hearts He came under the
wire in seventh place. Plunger got in sec
ond and Robin eighth. Time, 2:22544. In the
fourth heat Min Young was second to the
three-quarter post, and then jumped INTO
first place, winning by several lengths. The
excitement was great, but Dorch was show
ing good speed. Plunger got in in third
place and Shawhan fourth. Time, 2251a
Min Young Drops.
At the end of this heat Tavern was drawn.
In the fifth heat Min Young missed it little
on the homestretch, and Dorch. got in first
with Plunger second. Many were sorry
that the little fellow had not won. 1t was
whispered around that Min Young was
pumped out, and so he was. In the sixth.

the present meeting. Ravelli was never in
it. The seventh and last heat was a walk
over for Dorch. He led from the start and
came under the wire on slow trot. Time,
J: 2:42-worse than ever. Min Young was too
tired to go faster, but he got second place in
the list. He can do much better if squarely
driven.

rive the two horses. If everything had
one well the old man would have handled
he reins. He is very proud of Belle Hamlin
nd Justina. He made the record with them
asst year on the kite-shaped track at Inde-
Ia. Owing to Belle Hamlin's
ameness the attempt of the three to beat
he 220 record was not made. This was the
My disappointing feature of the day. The
