aT(y%L/~ costly. Only two Of The
five races were won by favorites.
There were twelve horses ready 10 start
in the first race--a half-mile dash-and so
it was split up into TWO races.
Nellie G was a red-hot favorite in the first
race. and the 'bookies" gave her odds OIL
even money, against to l on jim X. to
on Stoneman, to / on Mountain Boy, 10 to
/ on Joe Hooker Jr. and 10 to l on Dew
drop. At the start the favorite got OIL III
the rear, and the scramble was led by jim
r. closely followed by Stoneman and Joe
Hooker Jr. Jim r maintained his advan-
tage to the wire, winning by a meek III
1917. The big gray gelding Stonemah
beat. Nellie G length for place: Joe
Hooker Jr. was fourth, Dewdrop fifth and
Mountain Boy last.
The second haf-mile dash was equally
interesting. inasmuch as the favorite was
again defeated. Mackey was a slight Ia
vorite, although equal odds OF to were
offered on Young Thad. Flora was next
at 2 to /, st. John at to l, King Alph al
s to and Volta at 10 to l.
When the flag dropped st. John bounded
of ahead. but was passed at the quarter by
Young Thad. To the stretch Flora u ran
second and Mackey third. Young Thad
rapidly increased the lead, ana won easily
by two lengths in 30 seconds. Mackey
gained second place ana Flora E third.
Volta and King Alph struggled along sew
eral lengths in the rear.
There we're four contestants In the next
race, and Ledalia was the favorte. Those
who wagersd to l that she would win.
were not disappointed. Raindrop sold at
to !, 'MeGinness' First at 8 10 l and May
Pritchard Mt SO to l. AT the start the fair
but slow May took the lead, but soon gave
way to McGinness' First. who pressed
up from third place. When the hall
was reached, however, Ledalla went ahead.
On the stretch it looked like neck and
neck race between Ledalia and Raindrop
until near the wire. when Ledalia bounded
ahead and won by a head. The sprightly
mare ran over the six furlongs In just 1914.
Rlindrop was awarded second place anu
May Prtchard third.
There was a big surprise in store for
hackers of fay0rites in the fourth race.
n lie G was the favorite and sold at odds
of 8 to 5, against 2 to ! on Cyclone, to on
Altus, to / on Bruadchurch and Is TO l on
Santa Fe When Henry Schwartz heard
port that was being freely circulated that
Cyclone was not In the race 10 win he
caused Jockey G. Clancy to be shifted for
Johnnie Weber. The cause OF the rnmOr
was not known. 1t mattered little, however,
for Cyclone did try to win and ran Tor all
he was worth. Broadchurch fooled those
who had sneered at his chance Of winning,
for he took the lead from the start and
kept it to the quarter, where he was passed
by Cyclone At the three-quarters Nellie
G was ahead. and next In order
were Cyclone, Broadchurch. Altus and
Santa Fe On the stretch the race
became most exciting, for II was
apparent to all that the honors lay between
Cyclone and Broadehureh. Twas beau
tfu finish and both did some lively running
to the wire, but Broadchurch got there first
and won by neck. He covered the thirteen
sixteenths OF a mile in :2212. Cyclone vas
second aUd Altus third. Soon after 1t was
learned why the favorite had been beaten so
badly 1t was explained that at the
start Nellie G was kicked by Cyclone and so
disabled that she was defeated, notwith-
standing her gallant struggle.
Garcia was the favorlte in the fifth and
last race and he won. 1t was over course
of one mile and sixteenth, and from
start TO finish it was procession of Garcia,
Fanny + and Initiation. Garcia won easily
by a length in 15l. Fanny was TWO
lengths ahead of Initiation at the finish.
