MAGGIE SHERMAN THE STAR
BADGE WON THE 2.14 PACE,

Not less than 5000 people enjoyed
the star programme for the fourth
day of the trotting races at Mime
| haha Driving park, and star day
it was, too, in spite of the fact that
the best horses on the track were not
entered. The 2:16 trot, however, de-
| veloped a conflict of trotting mares
which held the crowd for two hours
of admiration. Maggie. Sherman,
owned by Brill, of Stevens Point,
was pitted against Kate Phalla-
mont, the Colby entry, and a local
favorite. Sherman took the first
two heats by good speeding, but in
the third she broke, and Kate and
two of the others fought out the
heat. Kate won, Sherman just say
ing her distance.
Thus encouraged, Kate cut loose in
the fourth heat and made Maggie do
her best all along the line, finally
taking the heat from the Stevens
Pointer by head at the wire.
The fifth heat was fought hard,
| but the local mare had decidedly the
worst of it on the start. Whether
or not she had enough the worst of
1t to have effected the result of the
race is hard to say, but surely she
was well behind the Stevens Point
horse in spite of the fact that the
last two heats had won her the pole.
/ She sped around the track at a
fast clip, the fastest Of. the race. in
5pite of the fact that it was the fifth
heat, and several times headed Sher-
man for time, but went under the
wire about length behind and lost
the race

night for second money. resulting final

THE PA PACE.
The starters in the PA pace, which
was the first on the list, were Judge
Hurt, Lena Willetts, Slumber, Maud
NJ, SphinXetta, Ringrcse and Badge
1t was a case of the old orthodox belief
that the last shall be first, for Badge
took the lead from Maud NJ just before
the half. Slumber and Ringrose also
did better in the last half, and Maud
| NJ, who was allowed to lead the first
half, dropped back to fourth place at
the wire. Sphinxetta was fifth; Judge
Hurt, sixth; and Lena Willetts didn't
save her distance. Time 2:13h
The second heat was prettily started,
Badge, Slumber and Ringrose leading
AT the quarter these three were neck
to wheel, with the rest stringing out
behind. Ringrose lost about a length
going down the line, but kept third
place Just after passing the half,
Slumber broke twice, and dropped
away. Coming into the stretch, they
were five we'll together, but Badge won
easily length ahead of Judge Hart,
who made a hard push for the heat.
Ringrose was third, as before. Sphinx
eta, fourth; slumber, fifth, and Maud
NJ last. Time, 2:15.
Badge led all the way around in the
third heat but there was a hot race for
second place, and the finish was a cork
er. Three lengths behind Badge three
muzzles were3unched within "a length.
They were Maud NJ, Ringrose and
Judge Hurt, and although Maud was
clear on the outside, she managed to
pull in ahead by half a length, with
Ringrcse third, and Judge Hurt fourth.
Slumber was fifth, and Sphinxetta last
There was a tie for second money
and Maud M and Judge Hurt, who had
each taken a second, fourth and a
sixth, split the pot for second and
third Slumber was fourth

A FIGHT IN THE 2:16 CLASS.
There was a long delay in starting
the 2:16 trot on account of the unruly
conduct of Queen Alfred, the Texas
entry, who would not go off with the
bunch. Nearly a dozen trials were
made before it was finally decided II
start the Queen in front and make hel
go under the wire. At that Kat:
Phallamont and Sixty-Six managed tt
lead both the Texas and the poll
horse, Maud Wright. Maud, however
led at the turn, and she and Maggie
Sherman had a pretty race down thu
other side. Kate Phallamont wal
third, Margrave fourth, and Sixty
Six fifth. Maggie kept length be
hind Maud's wheel until they strucl
the turn into the stretch, and the
pulled up strong, beating the Roches
ter mare out by length. Maud wa
plainly outclassed in the work in tn,
; stretch. Kate Phallamont finishe

/. There was more trouble in startin;
the second heat and it was nearl,
, half an hour before they were sent of
with Maud Wright three lengths to tn
rear. Maggie Sherman led, with Mar
