and interesting, George h. winning,

while all the horses were punched.

driver could not control him, and he
collided with Billy Oberlin, upsettng
the sulky, and throwing the driver of.

the track he turned abruptly and leaped
over the rope, upsetting the suIky and
tearing off tire. John McGannon
stood a. the entrance, against the rope.

traction in the speed contests, and more
interest was manifested 10 1t than any
other race. Raven had an easy time 10
taking first money, although he had "a
do a mile in 9:ls in the final heat. Gold
Dust, who was expected TO show ~
well, was disappointment. She was
speedy enough when at work, but could
not be controlled by her driver.
FIRST HEAT-Raven sold big IA
yorite. The heat was v;ry exciting and
but for the bad conduCt OF Gold Dust
the result might hsvs been different.

best events of the week. The horses
made a splendid start with Gold Dust
in the lead, but he behaved. badly, and
