some reason or other, possibly the Ohio
mares name, the grand stand made
tavorite of her at sight and as she drew
In under the wire her success WINS re-
ceived with resounding cheers. Wilkes
won the next heat with the mare second.
They changed places again in the third
heat. Thus Wilkes and Kitty Bayard
each had scored u heat. The interest Of
the spectators was now worked up into
. liver heat. Kitty Bayard won the
third heat in magnificent style, going
the mile without break and leading
all the time But Wilkes was second.
The contest was clearly between these
two. In the next heat the mare had
the pole. This was u great advantage,
OF course, and at the start the race
seemed hers. But after few yards she
dropped behind. Just at the COM
mencement of the back stretch crash
was heard and Kitty Bayard's sullSy
was seen humping along with one wheel
dished. There had been an accidental
collision and several Of the sullky spokes
smashed. But now came the strangest
Incident seen on any trotting course, at
any rate in this region. Smith, Kitty
Bayard's driver, brought the mare
quickly to her feet. She answered with
remarkable docilty. Showing no alarm
whatever at the strange object humping
along ON one wheel behind her, for the
driver tilted himself one side giving his
whole weight TO the sound wheel, the
gallant animal set racing gait. AL
though now away behind, she gradually
drew ahead, speeding in splendid style.
One by one she passed her rivals, the
crazy sulky quite unnoticed. Thus she
flew around the mile. Along the home
stretch she was clear ahead.
Kitty Bayard's vocal reception COM
menced at the 100 yards pole and was
an unbroken ovation for several min
utes. AS her driver, w. X. Smith, re-
turned from under the wire the cheering
recommended. Judge Martin ordered
the driver towards him.
Speaking in q firm, condemnatory
tone, Nov, you took a wrong chance,
sir" Colonel Martin said.
"Hurrah for Kitty" the audience
shouted in reply. The judge turned
around to hide smile.
~ saw l was safe, sir u the jockey
called out to the judge. Nothing more
;ould be heard as the continuous cheer
ng prevented any further explanations.
