an easy winner, Count second Alfredetta
third and Stanwood fourth. Time, 2:24.
This gives Dick the race, his relative posi-
ton the three heats having been 1 l.
Alfredetta gets second prize with 2 4.
In the 2:50 class the entries were: Gard
ner's b. m. Kitty, driven by Lomax;

by half length and a length. Don did
not have his full swing.
A mile exhibition pace, between Bor-

head and have beaten the stranger. So, at
least, was the general opinion.
