Woodward's Lucy b. and A. Scales Rim
cOuardu. Ii the pools Ottinger was the
favorte at - against S26 for Shylock and
So for the ED.
While thc horses were scoring OF
finger made a sudden turn, one Of
tho wheels 70 the sulky caved in and the
vehicle Wen. over. Heating Jumped and
saved himself, but the horse reared and
ioll on the track. He was soon released
from the Sulky, and did not appear to
have been injured in the least. How
over, the pools changed, Shylocll becom-
ing The iaVorite against the field.
The horses were on the track an hour
before they could be sent off, first one
acting bad and then another. The first
heat was surprise. Ottinger led from
the first quarter to the third, where
Edeuia WAS second and ShyIock third,
the others well strung out. Here klam-
ath, nelderStnG very dark" horse
took a hand in the race, aud coming on
with rush near the wire passed Ldenia
and threw his nose TO the front III =: 10
Edenia third, Shylock fourth, Lucy b.
fifth and Rinconado last
klamath now became the tavorite at
Sl2O Shylock 500, Lucy b. So and the
field $50. The heat was hotly contested
by Shylock, Edenia and Ottinger, they
coming under the wire in that order in
2:lO!, Lucy B. fourth, klamath fifth and
kincOnado distanced.
Shylock now had TO bear the response
blllty OF the betting, going for Sl10 against
SIS for Klamath and Sl7 for the field. The
son Of Tom Benton and Brown Jennie
justified the confidence Of his Dackers by
winning handily in 2:l9, OttInger second.
Edenia third, il Klamath fourth and LucyB.
last.
Before the next heat Raymond, klam-
ath's driver, was taken down and j. w.
jonathan put into the sulhy, the claim
being made that klamath was not driven
to win.
1t was 6:l5 o'clock when the horses were
sent away for the fourth heat, which fur
nlshed the first real sensation OF the meet
ing thus far. Shylock led from the start.
and at the half Ottinger was second and
klamath third. Rounding the turn Shy
lock pulled away and at the same time
jonathan called on klamath, and the
Montana horse shot ahead OF Ottinger
and went or the leader. He made up
the thirty yards OF daylight between them
by the time the seven-eighths post was
reached, ana from there to the wire
clearly ouuoOted Shylock though Dustin
laid the whip on the latter unsparingly.
Then the crowd began to yell, and
when Klamath crossed the wire couple
ofopen lengths in advance in ,: l8 the up
roar was deaiening. Otunger was third.
Edenia fourth and Lucy b. fifth. None
Of the horses except Shylock and klam-
ath having won a heat they were all sent
to the stable.
The rush for the pool-Dox was like a
panic, klamath becoming big iavorite.
When the last heat was trotted it was so
dark that the horses couid hardly be dis
tinguished across the heId.
1t was Shylock's heat, and those who
so madly plunged on Klamath were
doomed To disappointment, 1or he was
not dangerous at any time during the
heat, which Shyloch captured in 2:lS.
There We're those who claimed that
klamath could have won it, but that
he talent' had put up Shylock to win,
<;ler OttinEer was disposed OF, and that
ile COM pact had to be carried out.
