THE TURF.

FREEPORT, Ill, July 24-Ten thous-
and people saw John r. Gentry pace
all around Joe Patchen this afternoon
at Taylor's park. The track was in
fine condition when the race was
called but rain fell at times. Both
horses were loudly cheered when they
appeared before the judges stand.
Gentry was slightly the favorite in the
| pools, although many horsemen backed
Patchen. After scoring twice they got
| the word in the first heat, Gentry tax
/ ing the lead from the wire and was
never headed to the finish, although
Curry held Patchen not far back Of
him until they passed the three-quar-
ter pole, when Gentry pulled away and
finished a length ahead in 2:04A.
Gentry went the first quarter in 30
seconds, the half in :591a (Which is the
/ fastest half ever paced in public:
three-quarters in 1:30 Patchen threw
or he would have driven Gentry out in
2:02 as McHenry pulled Gentry up in
| the stretch. In the second heat Gentry
again took the lead with Patchen close
up. AT the three-quarters pole where
| Patchen again threw a shoe and
| Gentry logged to the wire in 2:O6A go
ing the three-quarters in 80.
In the third heat McHenry sent Gen.
try away at a 200 clip which carried
! Patchen off his feet and he broke
badly. He was no in 1T after that
and McHenry could have shut him out.
Gentry's time was 2:09%.
The race was for a purse of $4,000,
winner taking all.
Curry says Patchen was not in good
shape for the killing pace McHenry
set and is not satisfied that Gentry is
the best horse until they have another
race.
