'sBaby'' Makes . Good Race-Six
Heats and a POstponement in the
Second Race-The Running Race.
About 700 people journeyed to the Elm
City Driving park yesterday afternoon and
were treated to some fair racing. The con-
ditions were all favorable light wind,
good track aud good weather-sll tending
to make the days racing the best of the
meet.
In the first race 1t looked as though Paul |
B. of the Elm City farm would have a walk |
over, taking the first two heats. The first
he won with beautiful grand-stand finish,
coming up in the stretch from four lengths
behind the first horse, Algonquin, and
passing the wire the winner by head.
Time, 2:294.
He won the second heat easily in 2:254
and the betting on him went away up, odds
of 10 to Q being offered. Baby, however,
surprised everyone by winning the next
three heats in excellent form. The follow
ing is the summary of the race:

The second contest showed better rae
| ing, but the horses who really had the
most speed made very ugly breaks, several
times losing a race which seemed we'll In
hand. Mary Karr, the Hubinger Brothers
brown mare, showed up well in the first
three heats, but tired easily in the latter
heats. John Mitchell, while he kept on his
feet, sped along with marvellous feetness.
as did Lucky Baldwin, Mr.. Fowler's
horse. Lucky Baldwin acted unruly
He broke in the first heat when he was
leading on the stretch. Lucky Baldwin
won the fifth heat, tieing Mary Karr for
first place, thus making an extra heat OF
a division necessary. In the sixth heat
only John Mitchell, Lucky Baldwin and
Mary Karr started. John Mitchell was in
fine form and easily finished first.
Between the heats, two heats of
the half mile running race were
run. Farase Field finished first in the first
heat, with Little Grand close second.
Sweetheart did not get away at the start,
and finished fifth. In the second heat
tuck all the way around. Big g. took the
heat, however, with a little to spare.
