turn and fell back. Woodbury. drove
Emma Westland so fast down the back
stretch that she took the pole from Tom
boy and held it till the last turn.
Monturo had come up by that time and
and neck. .They might all fshave been
hitohed to one sulky in three horse
hitch, so close together and SO even We're
their positions that Emma Westland
couldn't stand the strain and lost her
feet. Woodbury. brought her back in
stantly, but the break was fatal and left
her in third place. Monturo made great
squirt to overcome Tomboy's advantage
at the pole, but couldn't quite do it. The
latter won by just nose. The time was
2.21. The second heat was apparently a
repetition of the first. Princewood broke
at. the beginning and fell behind and out.
Emma Westland tried for the lead on the
back stretch but Tomboy was too fast.
Monturo came UP at the third quarter as
in the first heat. Emma Westland was
left in third place on the stretch and
Tomboy came in first The judges set
him back to fourth place, however for
running on the back stretch and gave the
heat to Monturo, with Emma Westland
second and Princewood third. The time
was 2.28s4.
The third heat was pro-
cession most of the way round, but they
were all very close together Monturo
kept the pole and the lead and came in
first. Tomboy kept second place, by
repeatedly running and though he came
in second was set back to fourth place
Emma Westland got second and Prince
wood third. Time 2.22.A
The fourth and last heat was a oinch
for Monturo, who kept the pole and the
lead all the way. Prinoewood broke as
usual on the first turn and would have
finished fourth had not Emma Westland
lost her feet ON the third turn This left
Secretary Barrett's brown filly fourth
place. Tomboy kept second and also kept
q sufficiently clean gait to retain second
place and thus won second money
Emma Westland won third and Prince
wood fourth. Time 2261a.
Tofnboy had most peculiar method of
running with his hind legs and trotting
with the fore. He seemed to use this to
good advantage at critical times, but the
judges had their eye on that gait and did
not allow him to take advantage of the
other horses.
