ran UWO- mile n0dUS. RlCnarQ " 1
a sharp runner and had the race east
ly. Silverton is broncho, but poor
runner. Snider made the sport o.
the race in the second heat, when he
bolted, ran off the track on the first
half, to be put back ahd overtake Sill
verton on the back stretch; when he
came around to his boiling place the
second time, he ran out into the crowd
and Sllverton passed him. He was
pulled back on to the track again, and
overlook Silverton just in time to
pass under the line before him.
The contest eliminated in the 1927
race, in which the wen-known horses,
Lyndon Boy! .Dorcas Pratt, Oxford,
and Sutton trotted. There seemed to
be very little difference in their nat
ural speed, Sutton taking the first
heat, the Boy the next three, with
Dorcas Pratt SO close behind him that
Mr.. Mower was compelled to do his
very best. Dorcas is a long gated
animal and broke on the turns, the
Boy putting in a very handsome skip
whenever he was hard pressed.
The county $3.50 class was trotted
by Tramp, Gipsey Queen and Fraud,
owned by parties in this town, with
Tomifobia as fourth. Tramp struck
a quick gait and held to it and won in
three straight heats, though followed
quite closely by the Queen. Fraud
and Tomifobia had a sharp tilt for
third and fourth places. In the 1929
class, the four contestants, Cobdellah,
owned by D. D. Bean, Oxford, by
Pratt & Pickle, Lady Lee, by III. T.
Ball, and Captain by Ell. A. Folsom,
are horses that belong to the vicinity
and are we'll known, each having a
crowd Of admirers which increased the
interest in the race. Cobdellah took
the two first heats and bid fair TO win,
but in third heat lost shoe, and Ok
ford took this and the two next heats.
He seems to be hard horse to beat.
Lady Lee pushed the winners in each
heat hard and was second in the five
heats. Captain is practically green
horse, but showed speed in spurts in
future.
The 2:4O class, like every other race
Of the day, was exciting on ac-
count Of the very sharp effort made
oy horses and owners to win. There
seemed to be no unfair jockeying and
every man strove for the lead. Five
horses, Robt. r, Happy Coon, Sher-
nan Franklin, Cyclone and Jacob.
Sherman Franklin, the noted stallion,
made the first heat in magnificent
style. and seemed able to win easily,
oht Bobert, probably an old trotter, |
which should have been in another |
lass, took the next three heats,
franklin close on his heels. The Coon
vas a surprise in speed and endur-
nee. Cyclone made one second, but
5 little too heavy to keep pace with
he professionals.
The 2:35 class, Dorcas Pratt, Baby I
4, Henry and Lambertine contest
Ints, was exciting on account of the
lit between Pratt and Henry. 1t
ooked as though Henry had the race
Turing the first of each heat, but +
'ratt's long strides in straight
tretches put him ahead in each last
alf; the Baby was good third all
he while, and Lambertine fourth.
The Free for All race created great
interest from the fact that COhden
r., was in it. This horse was owned
4 this town some years, and his phe-
omenal speed and his balky and I'M
Manageable spirit made his trial ex-
iting. He fought Gossip Jr., down
ountry horse with very low record,
'odger, 2:18, and Little Belle, enter
d by Thomas Utton and known to be
cry speedy. Golden manifested his
glineSs in the first start and ran j
early around the track in first heat. }
he second time Darling got him down
| the start and he made the heat
ithout skip; after some baking
0out the start, Golden got off for the
lird and fourth heats, and though
re6Gy closely followed by Little Belle
I'D Gossip, easily won. This horse =
probably the fastest natural trotter
Yer seen III this county. He made
s last heats with perfect ease, and
emed TO be aOle to fly like bird.
