The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-09-12

Wonder winning first money after he
had lost the first three heats. Paul.
2 094. the chestnut gelding by Bald
Hornet, was not permitted to start in
this race because his original entry had
not been received.
The first event, the 223 trot, had
nine starters. Wild Oats was the ia.
vorite. So we'll did the talent think of
the Norwood gelding that his price in
the pools was $55. Scranton Belle was
second choice at SIT and the field
brought $24 Scranton Belle, who had
the pole, took the lead in the first heat,
with Wild Oats second, but she went
into the air at the half-mile post aud
was passsd by the favorite and Com.
mercial Girl. The latter pair
trotted like double team to the three
fourths pole, but then Wilde Oats
drew away and won the heat with Com
mercial Girl length behind. In the
second heat Wild Oats was not headed,
but in the third Nutshell led to the
quarter. The favorite passed Nutshell
at the half, however, and won by two
lengths from Commercial Girl, who
was length ahead of Nutshell. Prior
to the second heat Wild Oats sold for
$50 and the field brought $40. No pools
were sold after the second heat.
WONDERS WONDERFUL WORK.
With Paul s. Scranton in the 2:10
pace. the field brought $35. and GUM
cite $50. The latter was distancsd in
the first heat, and then Vitello COM
manded $25 against $l2 for the field
Prima Donna's victory in the second
heat caused Vitello stock to drop to
$1S. the field being 81 higher. Vitello
won the third heat and his price went
mp to $25. while the field dropped to
$l2. Major Wonder upset all calcula-
lions by winning the fourth heat and
pools sold thereafter at $25 for Wonder
and $12 for the field. Wonder won the
fifth and sixth heats and the race.
Out Of thirteen entries in the Phila-
delphia Tattersall stake race for two
year-olds, but two appeared-Shadow
and Hida King. The former led all
the way around by 100 yards or more,
and easily distanced her competitor.
1t was Shadows first race, and the
time, 9 20. is her record.
