Reina Tired Out.
The 2:21 trOt proved rather tedious,
as 1t Kept the spectators until night
shades began to set in. Five fast heats
were trotted. Gov. Merriam's Reina
won the first two, Phoebe Wilkes the
third and Greenleaf the fourth and
fifth. After long delay in scoring,
the word was given, and Mayhill
soon had the pole, Reina trotting
second and Jerry l. third, while the
others were well punched. Going around
the first turn Phoebe Wilkes passed
Reina. Doble, who was driving the lat
ter. seemed to be confident of victory
and held her up, but he sent her with
full-speed on the back stretch, and at
the half mile post Reina was tapping
Mayhill, and Phoebe Wilkes was good
third. Reina came first into the sire tch,
Mayhlll second, with Phoebe Wilkes
scarcely worse off. They finished Reina
first. Mayhill second. Phoebe Wilkes
third.
The candidates got off pretty even for
the second heat. Reina forged ahead at
the turn, with Maynil well up, and
Greenleaf soon began to give the two a
race, while Phoebe was in the bunch
with them. But Reina led the way
when the home stretch was entered,
with Mayhill length in advance of
Phoebe Wilkes. The latter made rush,
and close to the finish passed up close
to Reina, who won by half length,
Mayhill third, Greenleaf fourth and
Jerry l. fifth.
The betting was now all in favor of
Reina. She sold at $50 over the field at
half that money. But surprise was in
store. Reina took the lead and set the
pace all the way to the head of the home
stretch without skip. Phoebe behaved
badly for time. and Mayhill Tapped
Relna al, the way down the back
stretch. Phoebe gave burst of speed
IN the stretch that OutclaSSed Reina, and
Doble pulled up. Phoebe won the heat,
Reina second, Jerry l. third, Greenleaf
fourth and Mayhill last.
George Spear, who was up behind j.
Z. OsWald's Greenleaf, now felt san
guine. Greenleaf is great horse in
split races. He has the courage and
the stamina, and Spear knew it,. Jerry
IL had slightly the best of the start.
with Mayhill and Reina we'll up. On
the turn Jerry forged ahead. but the
speed was too great and he went off his
feet and fell back. Phoebe Wilkes,
Reina and Mayhill had pretty battle
all the way down the back stretch. and
1t was not until the home stretch had
been entered that Spear let Greenleaf
snow his mettle. He swept past the
others and won as he pleased.
Although it was now late, the Judges
decided to trot another heat. Should
Reina win it, it would finish the race,
and should another candidate get it,
postponement until today was in order.
After tedious delay the horses were
called out for the effort. An elegant
start was secured. Greenleaf early took
the pole, but Phoebe Wilkes soon chal-
lenged the position, and they fought
until the home stretch was entered.
Relna was fatigued and showed signs
of distress. She was more than dis
tance behind on the back stretch, but
Doble dashed her, and saved the dis
lance on the far turn. Greenleaf won
handily, Phoebe Wilkes second, Jerry
L. third. Mayhill fourth, and Reina last.

Tame SteepIechase.
The fourth event was steeplechase
in the enclosure. There were six can
didateS, but the race failed to excite
much enthusiasm. AS Steeplechases
usually are, the horses were well strung
out for the mile and half. One horse,
Whlteface, refused the first hurdle, and
the Jockey had great difficulty in forcing
him back again. The result was he did
not finish. Lone Tree threw his rider
at the third hurdle, but the little jock
escaped with no further injury than
few bruises. Little Joe won the race,
Spider second and Billy White third.
Time, 2:1714.
During the forenoon George w. Sher-
woods stallion Lockhart trOtted mile
in 2:14 flat. This was considered
great performance, and it shows that
st. Paul has horse that may make
things interesting during the week.
ID. w. Pratt, of Minneapolis; F. A.
Seymour and ii. F. Williams, of st.
Paul, are the Judges, and DR.. o. j.
