DR.. PUFFS LIVELY WORK.
Prince Almont OVerhauled Wood
and Beat Him Out by a
Head.

ance at the races keeps increasing each
day, and yesterdays crowd was the best
of the week. The races were all that could
be desired, and every body went away
satisfied.
The feature of the day was the time
made in the first heat of the free-for-all
pace. AS predicted, a record was broken,
Waldo pacing the mile in 2:o9. This is
the Agricultural Park track record, and
also the fastest mile paced or trotted in
California this year. Edna R won the
unfinished pace by taking two straight
heats, which, in addition to the heat won
Wednesday, gave her the race.
Favorites carried off the regular events.
Jasper Ayers won the 2:27 class trot for
three-year-olds, although DR.. Puff pressed
him hard and managed to take two heats.
Waldo J won the free-for-all pace in three
straight heats. Native State was con-
sidered sure thing for the 2:30 class trot
and he proved himself worthy of the con-
fdence of his hackers. He got right down
to work at the start, and three heats de-
cided the race in his favor
The 2:27-class trot for three-year-old
brought out three horses-Dr. Puff, Jasper
Ayers and Juana Treat. Ayers was in
stalled fayorite. DR.. Puff took the lead
around the turn and was never headed.
Jasper Ayers made squirt in the stretch,
but was beaten out a head. Juan Treat
was distanced. Ayers still sold favorite at
$40, Puff being quoted at So. DR.. Puff led
to the half, but Ayers caught him at the
three-quarters and beat him to the wire
by half length. Time, 2:21.
In the third heat, contrary to expecta-
tons, DR.. Puff took the lead from the
start, and won all the way around, beating
Jasper Ayers out in close finish. DR..
Puff's time was 2:17. Ayers brought $40
before the fourth heat, Puff selling at $40
in this heat DR.. Puff led to the half. The
contestants were neck and neck entering
the stretch, but Ayers finished a strong
winner in 2:17. No money was placed
before the final heat, it being the general
opinion that DR.. Puff had raced himself
out. This proved to be the case. Ayers
logged in an easy winner of the heat and
race.
The free-for-all pacing had three contest
ants, Waldo J, w. Wood and Prince AL
mont. A few pools were sold, Waldo J
bringing $40 to Sc for the field. Wood led
at the quarter, Primo Almont second and
Waldo third. At the half Waldo had
moved up a notch and Prince Al
mont was third. Into the stretch Wood
still led, but Waldo was at his heels. In
a driving finish W. Wood was befted, w al
do winning in 200. the fastest time ever
made on this track. 1t is also the Califor-
MIA pacing record for the year.
The announcement that Waldo had
beaten the track record brought out lib
eral round of applause. There was no bet
ting on the next two heats. In the second
heat Waldo J won all the way, finishing
pulled up in 2:14k. Prince Almont was
second, W. Wood last. The third heat
was a repetition of the previous one, but
was interesting on account of the bitterly
fought contest down the stretch between
Prince Almont and w. Wood for second
money. Prince Almont overhauled Wood
near the wire and beat him out head.
There were seven starters in the 80 class
trot.
