IIdSASs
Racing continues TO draw well at
Minnehaha driving park. Yesterday
there were even more people present
than Oh the opening day, when the at
tendance went up to 5000. The meet
ing deserves the patronage it is recei7-
ing. Trotting men pronounce this the
best trotiing meeting in the entire
Western country. Beautiful weather
adds TO the enjoyment Of high-clasS
racing. The special features offered
each day are alone worth the price OF
admission. Yesterday the grand stand
woald not hold the people. The crowd
was even more enthusiastic than on
the opening day. The racing was
first-cIass. All the drivers said the
track, notably one of the fastest in the
country. was never faster. There was
a strong wind early in the afternoon,
but il died down and some good lime
was made. The second event OF the
day. the &c trOt, was exciting. Clara
Wilkes was the fayOrite, but the field
was so large that she was fought back
good deal. The finishes were all close.
Starter Clark again did the best work
vet seen in the Northwestern country.
The first event of tie afternoon was
the 2:4O tUot for three-year-Olds. Hamp-
ton Maid was scratched. Only three
started. Happy Pilot, the fay0rlte,
drew the pole, Iona second. May
Sherman third. May Sherman and
Iona both went up on the turn.
Happy Pilot never was headed. The
son Of Pilot Medium travelled without
skip, and could have dIStanced the
other two. Iona went up at the lower
turn and in the stretch. giving May
Sherman second place.
In the second heat Happy Pilot was
sent for a record. He won the heat IN
2:251I, the last half in Ely. A break
on the back stretch prevented faster
time. May Sherman and Iona were
both up a good deal and flushed second
and third.
Happy Pilot went up almost at the
start. but caught quickly. May Sher-
man led at the quarter and half. Pilot
was up again. The mare ran around
the lower turn and Happy Pilot finished
first easily in 2:2S, taking first money,
May Sherman second, Iona third. Sum-
mary:
