sitting up. The first prize for this race
was a horse, harness and carriage.

than anything else was responsible.

procession, had blood in his eye and
sprinted past the entire field with the
exception of two leaders, who were
fighting desperately. Mcdonald held
Gardeners wheel to the tape, getting
second place with Titus third
Two mile open class B, final, was a
loafing game. Coming to the last turn
Maddox and Titus sprinted and
fought it out on even terms to the

a foot from him at any time. The
fourth mile was done in 2:07 The
quad came into the home stretch at
a furious rate with Titus hanging on |
in good shape. When he crossed the |
