somewhat msrred by the delay at the start.
Parole sold favorite at $50; Cyclone 6; the
field, Pin Ear and White Stockings, Sc.
The horses acted badly at the start, one or
the others failing TO como mp at each at
tempt to get of. Finally they got away.
Cyclone and Parole very we'll together, the
latter just a little behind the other. Pin
Ear was several lengths to the bad, and
White stockings practically out of it. All
the way o the turn into the stretch
Cyclone and Parole esno almost neck and
neck. In the Lass furlong Cyclone drew
slightly to the front, but Parole made \
gallant squirt and was again up with his
only competitor. Near the finish it looked
like Parole might win. Both jockeys were
whipping. and the hnal burst was one OF
the finest ever seen here. Cyclone lac the
best of it, however, going under the wire
lengths behind and White Stockings not in
it. TIL time. :351ss, was good, considering
it was made in the teeth of a strong wind.

Mike Brown, but later switched to Red
Dick, with Jack the Ripper in third place.
Then Brown began to sell up again and the
close saw him bringing Sl2O TO $40 for
Jack the Ripper and Red Dick $35. The
~favorite got the worst of the start, the
horse not moving up promptly. Bob
Smith had the mount on the favorite and
said he did not think it q go" Red Dick
got the lead at the start, with Jack the
Ripper a good second. The horses came
down toward tho stretch in the same order,
Red Dick and Jack the Ripper working for
dear life to keep Mike Brown from
catching NJ. The latter was coming
along easily without any pun
back for the finish or the next heat. He
bad the pole and none of the others had
closed in on him, though he was in the rear.
Even then, - they turned into the home
stretch. it looked like Mike Brown would
go to the front, but he fell out of it in the
last fu,long and let the others do the finish,
They did it in great shape, and having the
field practically to themselves, made a horse
race out of it. Nearing the wire jack the
Ripper wont to the front . little. Then
led Dick drew up, and the two went under
the wire with Jack the Ripper, by a fine
burst of speed, about a neck ahead. Mike
Brown was a very poor third.
In spite of his poor position in the first
heat, Mike Brown still sold favorite in the
the second at $50, to Jack the Ripper S15.
and Red Dick $40. Jack the Ripper had
the lead just after the start. but Mike
Brown took it ava from him and won in a
ca'lop by four lengths. Red Dick was
away in the rear.
Bristello rode Jack tho Ripper for the
third heat. but the Relding was winded and
an Archer couldn't have made him win.
Only one or two pools were sold on this
heat, dix Brown bringing $40 to So on
the field. The ~favorite took it like a road
horse going to water, with Jack the Ripper
second and Red Dick out Of it.
