rather unfavorable circumstances,
but notwithstanding the disagree
able weather the sport was very
good.
The first was for two year-olds in
the 2:4O class, $3.50 guaranteed, three
heats, best 2 in 3. In the first heat con-
siderable difficulty was experienced
in getting the youngsters off, but after
eleven Intellectual attempts they left
the string well punched. Going around
the first turn Matrimony assumed the
lead and was never headed, although
Hildeburn gave her a rafting finish,
being but neck behind. In the
second heat Matrimony took the lead
at the very start and won easily
