The next event was mile dash between
W a. Gibson's Joe Harding and b. b. Jen-
nings' Alfred B. 1. was limited all over the
es That 1 betting Wss Sery hT ne
one knew what might happen. But the
Judges announced their intention of seeing
fair play If such thing were possible. and
the horses seemed TO run all they were able.
Harding was the favorite, the pooling being
10to6 They got good start Alfred TAX
ing the lead and keeping 1t TO the bali, but
going very hard. Harding is little horse,
but the way he ran up the bill at the back
stretch left no doubt in any ones mind what
he would do when he reached the level. At
the half he had greatly reduced the distance
between him and Alfred, and passing the
big horse at the turn he gave him lively
race down the stretch in the teeth OF the
wind, passing under the wire In AZ. with
Alfred badly iogged at his flank

for the field. The first start was made after
very little scoring, and they got away very
IDLY. at the first turn Oakville Maid got
IN CCbits way, ana sent him cut toward
tue fence TO avoid her. The mare was a
great nuisance to the quarter, nothing but
her lack of speed preventing her getting
under the feet Of every horse on the track.
hero was a big race between Ed Biggs and
Dubee to the half, when Biggs drew away
down the homestreich with Dubee coming
ike mad behind him, Cubit third and the
Maid running for dear life away in the dis
lance. Within 100 feet of the wire Dubec
made wonderful squirt, just as everybody
thought Biggs had got there. and passing
