forced RobertJ to mike n squirt Of speed, almost
ut the wire, that was phenomenal. Col Taylor

had said before the race that IL the gelding won
he would have TO beat his time at Fort Wayne,
which was 2;03s<. The black stallion came in
under the wire in exactly that time. In the

spurts that not even the liberal use Of the whip
could make Patchen head of.
There was great excitement when IL was
found that the time OF the heat made It up to
that point the fastest ever paced In race. The
enthusiasm knew no bounds when the next
heat showed up with its second and q quarter
faster time. In this heat Patchen seemed a
sure winner until almost under the wire
when Robert J. forged length ahead.
Curry tried the whip. but II was plain
the black was going his fastest The
performance, however, was so satisfac-
tory to the crowd that both horses and their
drivers. their owners. and the driving club wero
given three cheers The third heat began with |
a beautiful even start, but the gelding broke at
the quarter and lost six lengths again. He set |
