IT TOOK EIGHT HEATS.

After q Battle.

After a Battle.
HoLToN, Kans, Aug. 1. Eight heats in
one race was the unusual attraction Of
fered those who attended the second day
of the race meeting yesterday. 1t was
probably the most stubbornly fought con-
test ever seen on the track. 1t was To-
peka day and two hundred Topekans
were here The track was lightning fast
some what faster than the horses.
Today and tomorrow should be record
breakers in point of attendance. Four
thousand people witnessed yesterdays
events
In the first race the favorite, Allen
Dare. with "Red" Hayes, formerly of
Topeka, in the sulky, won as he pleased
Fair Laura was on her good behavior
and r. I. Lee sent her along for the
Topeka horse, Bobby Wilkes, acted up
and the flag fell in his face Allen Dare
is one of the most handsome horses on
the track.
1t was IN the 2:27 trot that the battle
began, The third race was finished long
before the second, and it was 7:40 when
the last heat was decided. Landema
Wilkes started in to win, but tired badly.
Ripple P. is acting badly this year, but
broke the ice by taking the third heat
and from that on it was horse racing
Franaldo, the game and handsome black
son of Rinaldo, pulled out the race after
some of the hardest fighting. The
bookies bumped the talent hard all
through the race and particularly in the
sixth and seventh heats Freddie B
acted badly and was set back to eighth
place twice for running and swerving,
nearly causing collisions.
Lady Nottingham outclassed anything
in the 1925 pace and won because she

sensible animal, with speed to burn, and
is certainly promising racer. The con-
test was for the place and Pinta took it
twice out Of three attempts.
The mile open bicycle race called
three starters to the tape. They were
Paul e. Walker of Holton, G. c. Claudy
and Morris Stephenson of Topeka.
Walker took them to the half,
where both the others passed him, and
Stephenson scorched home in $40, with
Claudy good second and Walker third.
There is a bicycle race today and one
tomorrow.
Besides the regular racing, chariot
races, hurdle races and running races are
pulled off between heats every day by
the Butler hippodrome combination.
Tomorrow will be the last day of the
meeting. The first on the card, the three
minute pace, purse $1,000, has twenty
five entries. The second event. the 2.18
trot, ought to show the best racing of the
week. In it are such cracks as Trouble
some, Myron McHenry, Lurline and
others
