races was the largest ever seen about
the course, and q good deal too largo
for all to see with comfort. The dense
mass of people called out many COM
pliment from strangers. 1t was II
ouentiy remarked that people here took
more interest in races than in the East,
where the racing is better:
There were on the card q half-mile
running dash, trot, pace and heat
run. The management showed its will
ingness to learn by putting the running
heats before the pace and everybody
saw very thrilling exhibition by the
runners. The run OF the day before
was also to be finished. In this Great
Scott had it all his own way, Turk hav-
ing gone lame over night. Scott loped
around in / :0Sl and got the cash. All
bets and pools were called off.
For the half mile running dash Madge
L. sold iavorite at $40 to So
on the field. The dash got off
promptly and was q breedy little
run. The great audience showed its ap-
proval OF having run at decent hour
Of day by the most enthusiastic demon-
stration. Madge walked away and kept
the lead, though Bob Fisher gave her
race to the finish, having bested Capius,
who had the lead for the first third Of a
mile. Secundus had the rear OF the
procession. Time, 52l. The Pafis
mutuals paid but 81 SO.
THE MILE-HEAT RUN.
Turk still being lame, Sam Walton
was substituted. Dakota sold at $40 to
IS, and then SO on the field. On the
draw Hypona got the inside, Walton
second, Great Scott third place, Dakota
fourth. There was good deal of trouble
on the start, and the actions OF the
horses promised n breedy and memor-
able run. Dakota got the pole, and for
the first half the runners were al
most abreast. Walton led the first
three-quarters when Great Scott passed
him and went under the wire a length
ahead. 1t was run in l:40t, and aroused
the greatest enthusiasm, being tight
race at every second from start to finish.
Dakota and Hypona had pretty con-
test for third place, and Dakota led by
only half a length. Paris mutuals paid
Sl70.

scotfs side was bleeding freely when
they came around to the pole. There
was another lively race, with Dakota
leading, Scott shaving him, and Hypona
q good third. On the half Scott had
passed to the front, and at three-quar-
ters Walton also passed Dakota, and
this order was maintained to the finish,
Scott leading by a length. Hypona was
not in it. The official timer made it
l:50I, second faster than some other
experts in the audience caught it.
