DIRECTS FAST RACE
SUMMARY


The hard race which Rosalind Wilkes had
at Detroit last Friday took the edge off the
big mare, and she proved an easy victim to
ALVIN in the free-for-ail to-day. Pools were
$500 for Rosalind, Sl20 for Alvin and SIS tor
HCnestake at the opening, but when the
stout Canuck horse reeied off heat in 2:l5,
beating the New York mare all the way, it
v7ss even money on him. The second heat
was slower, and Alvin won it so easily that
the odds were to on him before the third
Homestake tried this time, but break on
the turn settled him, and Turner's hard
drive landed Rosalind Wilkes ten lengths
behind the chestnut horse, as he finished
IN 2:l6l3.

home heroes.
The game, to say the least was not of the
pilt-edged kind, and it was as much on ac
count of the poor playing of the visitors as
anything else that the home victory was
gained. The visitors did not by any means
put up strong game and the victory for
the local talent ought to have been an easy
one instead of a very close one.
