J The First Race Delayed by an Unrul
, Horse, Night Shut Out the Last--At
tractive Exhibits at the Pavilion.
The first race of the meeting wa
rather discouraging. Everythin
seemed to go wrong, but it was tn
fault of no one except the stubbornes
of Little Dug. The horses were sen
to the post at quarter to three. Littl
Dug had the pole, Black Prince mex
Steamboat Bill No. 3, and Grover OF
the outside. The starter lined th'
horses up several times and tried tt
get them off together, but Little Dug
held back every time, try as he would
Harmon, who was upon the chestnut
gelding could not get him away with
the other horses. The judges, who
with the crowd had become impatient
by this time, sent the marshal around
to the starter with instructions to
send the horses off Immediately. This
had the desired effect, for in few
moments, just one hour after the
horses had been sent to the post, they
broke away with fine start. Steam
boat Bill was slightly in the lead
with the others punched. In coming
| around the turn one could. see that
something was the matter for all the
horses except Steamboat Bill went up
| against the pole with crash, then
they steadied down to good run
home. Steamboat Bill winning from
Black Prince by length and half,
Little Dug third and Grover fourth.
On account of the fault committed by
Steamboat Bill he was placed last and
Black Prince given the race: The
time for the quarter race was 25 Sec
onds.
The next race on the programme
was a half mile and repeat. The horses
took the following positions: Black
Alder first, Henrietta second, Pic Mic
third, Mowitza fourth, Mamie S fifth.
After few trials Starter Getzel sent
the horses off together. Mamie S soon
took the lead and held it until the
finish, winning in SIT seconds. Black
Alder came in second, Mowet2a third,
Pic Mic fourth and Henrietta fifth. In
the next heat Henrietta delayed the
start by acting very stubborn, but the
horses were at last started to fair 60.
1t had now became so late that one
could not distinguish the horses, but
when they came down the stretch Pic
Mic was in the lead and held it till the
finish. The last heat, owing to the
darkness, was postponed until this
afternoon.
