The second event was the IA mile
dash with Capitola, Donna Lila, Irish
Johnny, Nacho B. and Hook Hooking,
jr., as starters. But few pools were
sold, as every one was afraid OF Hooking.
The start was raw one, irish Johnny
getting aix lengths the worst OF the start.
The talent got a tumble in this race FOR
Donna Lila came in first, Hooking Sec
ond and Nacho B. third time, 2:l2h.
Mutuals on Donna Lila paid 1880.
The slow time in this race may be at
tributed largely to the condition of the
track. It has not been in shape for run
pers this meeting, and everyone who
owns a galoper is dissatisfied. No in
ducements have been offered to the gal
loper either in the purses or in condi-
tioning the track. The starting was the
rankest in this race and Irish Johnny
didn't have even a ghost of show for
the race. He ran gamely and closed up
some Of the gap which he got in the
start.
THE 2 30 CLASS PACE.
Next on the programme was the 220
pace. Six horses came to the post

Nutford and Rits. In the pools Fred

2:l51S, Andy second, Nutford third,
Fred Mason fourth, Jingler fifth, while
little Rita came in sixth. The mutuals
paid $35.
In the second heat the whip was piled
viciously on Nutford, Pomona and
tA ~
Nutford, made q great finish. The
game son of Abbotsford was travelling
on very poor legs, and the mark he got
in this heat was deserved. When he
came under the wire length ahead of
Pomona hearty cheers greeted the win
ner. Pomona was second, Jingler third,
Fred Mason fourth, Andy fifth and little
Rita distanced.
The third heat was won by Fred
Mason. Nutford led to the three-quar-
ters in :421s, OF which point Jingler
and Fred Mason came up. Down the
stretch the pace was too fast for Nut
ford and he broke, allowing Mason the
heat; Nutford second, Pomona third,
Andy fourth, Jingler fifth. Jingler came
under the wire second, but the judges
put the man last for the reason the Pat
tereon whipped with his left hand to
cause Nutford to break. The decision
was received with favor, as everyone
wanted to see Nutford win in fair and
square race.

2:161s. Nutford was close second,
Singier third.
The fifth heat was won by Mason in
2:20, Jingler second, Nutford third.
