THE 2:3O PACE
was the event OF the afternoon. Every
heat was closely contested, and the I'm
mense crowd was given an opportunity
to exercise it's vocal powers. There
were enough exciting features in each
heat to hold the crowd until the race
was finished. Mcbride won in three
straight heats, but had to do some
"tall" travelling.
FIRST HEAT-Bonnie B. sold fayorite
In the pools, at 81 to 81 on the field.
Some time was consumed in scoring,
several horses behaving badly. The
heat was one OF the most closely con-
tested of the day. 1t was anvbody's
race until the horses came under the
wire, and even then 1t required prac-
ticed eve to pick out the winner. Annie
ambassador led at the start, pushed
closely by Raymond, with Bonnie b.
bringing up the rear. At the first
Quarter the leaders were neck and neck,
with Ambassador gaining. All the rear
horses were working nicely,
and the distance was closed
before the half was finished,
where they were all punched. From
this time the contest was as pretty as
one could wish to see. Raymond and
Ambassador were still neck and neck,
and Mcbride had crawled up from
fourth place, and was but few feet
behind. The three leaders were so
close that il was impossible to deter
mine which was in the lead. At the
three-ouarters pole Mcbride and En-
bassador were hub and hub. A mag
nifcent squirt on the stretch,
and then the white cap took
the lead, and came under the wire a
neck ahead OF Ambassador. Time.
2:214. Bonnie B. spurted and came in
third. Excitement was at fever heat
during the race. Paris mutuals paid
SLIGO.
SECOND HEAT.-McBride sold for S.,
field So. The start was very pretty,
four horses being together, with Bonnie
B. a half length behind. Syndicate
dropped back TO the rear, the other
horses being punched. At the quarter
Mcbride and Ambassador were in the
lead and together. At the half
Bonnie B. broke. Mcbride spurted
and passed Raymond and Ambassador,
The fight was very pretty between
ambassador and Syndicate, with Nc
Bride an easy winner OF the heat.
Time 2:2215. Bonnie B., the favorite
in the first heat, was the tail-ender.
Paris mutuals paid $3.50.
THIRD HEAT-Syndicate again took
the lead at the start, but before many
rods were covered all the other horses
were punched with him and fighting
hard for front place. At the quarter
Mcbride forged ahead, but the advan-
tage was slight, and it was stubbornly
Syndicate lost his feet and
dropped back to the tail end. From the
half to the close it was nearly a process
sion, with Mcbride in the lead, followed
by Syndicate, Raymond and Embas-
sador. Time 2:94}5.
