Hard Silk WAS IN added starter In the
road rSes, and with Mr.. SwaySs's
Harry B. made the two heats anything
but walkovsr for Tea Girl. Hard
Silk gave evidence Of sufficient speed TO
win, and with proper training will
have a large following in case she
meets Tea Girl again. The time Of the
second heat, 25!, to road wagons, is a
credi!sbls performance
The 2 50 event developed the most
sport and excitement of any race on

Daisy, Duke and Kelley. throe prop
erly classed horses, in the race. Mr..
Crawford's Coxey also started and
might have been feature with
proper drying. In the frat heat Mr..
Payns's pneumatic came to grief on
the last turn, and with Coxsy out Of 1t
the battle in the stretch between Daisy
and Kssley lasted only long enough
for Mr.. Jsrmyn to let out reef OF the
latter and he won by length.
10 the second heat. although Kelley
reached the wire frat after conclusions
with Daisy from the head Of the
stretch, the heat WAS given to the lat
ter on the protest Of Mr.. Seamans that
Kelley came down In the second posi-
tion. Daisy very properly got the
woEst OF the start In the third heat BE-
cause Of Mr.. Sssmans' trailing tactics
and was not factor in the heat Duke
made up considerable lost ground in
the final heat by running around the
| first turn and again on the last
turn, and had it out with Kelley
in the stretch, when both horses broke
near the wire. The judges placed Duke
second for running.
Trillyway caught the grand stand
and filed the railbirds with gloe by her
handy winning OF the first heat With.
out challenge in the 2 40 race, and
furnished an equivalent disAppoint-
ment by going to pieces in the second.
She could not bs thrown from her
stride when Net pressed her in the
stretch of the last heat and won well 10
hand.
The talent had selected Fanny Blair
TO win the last event and might have
seen their predictions fulfilled had not
the mare gone to pieces after winning
the first slice of the pie.
From amoug the losers the follow
ing horses are selected as promising
