GOOO TIME At HAMLlNE.
THREE PRECIOUS RECORDS OF THE
MEETING BEATEN
FAvoRITEs WON IN ALL RACES,

And the Bookmakers Had Little
Chance to Break Even on the
Day-A Rather Rem arkabie
Heat Race-Poor Street Car
Facilities for the Races Occa-
son Complaint.
The KNOCKERS" who are waite hing
the Hamline races with magaifying
glasses 10 discover cause for complaint
will have to pass yesterdays events
without being able to find much fault.
The best horses won, there were no
bad starts, and some excellent time was
made. The five-eighths of mile race
for two-year-olds has not been eQualed
this meeting, although Charley Wilson
ran within q quarter of a second OF 1t
July u in heat race. The heat race
for four-y ear-oldS was run In :4915, 40
and 49,, which is almost two seconds
better than previous average time. The
mile and a sixteenth race was run In
1:4915. the fastest time for the distance
this meeting.
The only race in which pronounced
favorite did not win was the third, In
which Leo NJ got the best price, and.
even this race was won by the second
choice. The bookmakerS lost money,
and. as the play was heavy. there was
little chance for them to escape losing
on single race of the day.
The attendance was about 1000. and
the street car facilities for returning
the crowd to St. Paul were about ade-
quate for 200 peUple-in consequence
The half dozen cars on hand were
packed with Sweltering humanity. and
1t Is a wonder serious accident did not
occur. As it WAS, one trailer jumped
the track, and one man was at least
painfully if not seriously injured. In
view of the unsatisfactory transpotra-
ton facilities 1t is wonder that so
many people attend the Hamliue races.
for few people care TO hazard life ana
limb as we'll as their money i'll dull
times.

The betting i'll this race was livelier,
as the distance suited several of the
five entries. Bill White opened favorite
at even money, but Peabody, who

pretty one. The horses got away on the

to the half and then Peabody passed
him coming into the turn. Down the
stretch lobe Bell came fast from third
place. but Peabody finished two lengths
