Vara, and the four heats of that race were
completed In the wonderfully low average
time of 2:11A. The final record for

gazed in open wonder when that eccentric
performer, Ryland T.. won the free-for-sll
trot putting q mark for q six-heat race

that will hnger longest in the minds Of the
spectators of the weeks events is the

BELLE vARA's GREAT HEAT.
Martha Wilkes, when she trotted the
mile In q race yesterday, at Evansville in
2:0SA, robbed this track of another race
record, when, in the 2:l4-trot Belle Vara
went in 20ss4. But Vnra's mile was more
wonderful, for she was way back
at the eighth. Then the little black
daughter of Vatican squared away
and even Doble had plenty TO do to hold
her at her stride. so fast was it. The half
was reached IN l:0iia. with Matte FL. in the
lead several lengths. Faster and faster
Vara flew. and one by one the field was
oveThauled, and at the stretch she bad only
to fight 1t out with Walter L. She had
done the last half IN 1:02&, and the mile in
Maud SIS time. The surprise of the day
was the disastrous defeat of Matte H., w ho
