and pacing race which had been post;oned
from Saturday, after Rosie C. and Turk Frank
In had eacn taken heat Turk franklin had
the pole. Frank NJ carried him to
the eighth, passed him at the quarter and
reached the half in I:Og+ The best
that PAGER could do was to finish
at his tail. Rosie C. a learA behind and Hytas
Boy out OF ii. As Turk Franklin had paced the
second heat in 2:l9la on saturday and was now
beaten in the first heat, III 2.30la, the
judges thought they would put Charley
Woods behind him, AMI SO they did against Mr..
Hollis earnest protest. They were sent of at a
rapid gait, with the PAGER behind. ltwas a
horse race all tie way, Turk Franklin crowding
the irotter clear 10 the last turn aud
coming down the stretch at q terrific
pace. He collared Frank NJ about fifty yards
IRON finish, and had the best Of il until just
under the wire, when Franz ". shot ahead and
made 50 close finish 81 il that il was doubt
full what the decision of the judges
would DC. Those in the JUICES stand thought
the PAGER won. The horsemen in the grand
stand insisted that Frank NJ had nose the best
of 1t, but the decision went to Turk Franklin,
and the grand stand rang with cheers.
The third heat was very close throughout be-
tween the leaders, with Rosie c. right at their
wheels, until near the head of the home
stretch, where Clancy apparently realized that
he was not in the race ana saved
Franklin were tapping each other, first
one ahead and then the other, except at the
last turn, where the PAGER appeared 10 quit.
He shovel another great burst of speed on
the homestr ten. however, and finished second
by only Il meek.
In the sixta heat John sawyer was put up be-
hind Turk Franklin and the heat was a very

the race. Sawyer kept the PAGER at Frank Ms
wheel and then passed him, reaching
the bali IN LOSS. At the three
quarter post Frank NJ had lost
three lengths and was overhauled by Rosie C.
On the stretch, however, he came down like
whirlwind, his feet flying at 2:l6 gait Before
his fierce ons aught Turk Franklin had to sue
cumb.
At 2:3o the quarter horses filed
slowly up the stretch to score. 1t
was o'clock before the flag fell and many be-
CANE tired. They had TO De sent off finally with
April Fool, the favorite, left at the post. 1t was
a hot Tace between Bob Wade, Jim Miller and
Papoose till near the wire. when Wade took SO
pronounced a lead that Kelly was able TO pull
him in easily winner by a length, Papoose
two lengths behind Jim Miller.
The three-quarter mile dash was beautiful
race and in good time. Mr.. Bybee had put up
Pedro" Enos again on Misty Morn, and the boy
rode winning if not a judicious race
Mimic sent them of at the second
score with beautiful start Enos
started out to set the pace and
led them merry clip. The young son OF i'm
ported Mariner trailing the fiily, Revolver after
him, and Robinson waiting easily on Carrie VI.
In this order, Misty Morn Two lengths ahead,
and barely daylight between the Others.
they came 10 the head OF the stretch. Top
Gallant quit and Carrie NJ. moved up. But this
was Docds opportunity. He had peen laying
back with Revolver, and now came down with
the whip hard after Misty Morn. II looked as
though EHos had MISGUIDED the race and ex-
pended he FLY strength so that Revolver would
wrest the vlctory from her, but the challenge
was brief one. The FLY had more speed TO
spare aud finished three lengths ahead, Carrie
NJ. an indifferent third.
The delay in the scoring of the quarter horses
threw the three minute ,rot so late
that it hal to be postponed after three heats had
been trotted. The only three horses that stood
any show TO win each took heat apiece. SO that
the race is nearer a solution than at first and
quite as hard TO guess. summary:
