| came down as before. Two Strike
showed good speed in the finish. and
the big gray nearly. took the heat from
East Aurora's pride. 1t was nearly but
not quite. Albert E was third. Seal
fourth, Vera Capel fifth, La Belle sixth,
Belle Malone seventh, Lena Hill
eighth. The time was 2:10. and this
was probably due to La Bellies great
squirt in the first half She went the
half in Los and the first quarter in
:32K, which was really better, as she
started several lengths behind the time

NOTES OF THE TRACK.
AS great day as was yesterday,
today will fairly eclipse it. Yesterday
there was the great free-for-all pacing
race with such horses as La Belle,
Seal and Two Strike pitted against
the king OF all the hori-es OF the
world, the peerless Robert j. Today
there will be two of the nation most
famous steeds in one race Where yes
teTday there was but one who had
achieved national distinction today
there will be two. The king of all
trotters, the wonderful Directum, from
California, the beautiful black wonder
who has gone a mile in 2:G5l4, ard who
this year has come within one second
of equaling that time, and the queen
OF the turf. the beautiful Fantasy,
with a record of only three-fouTthS Of
a second behind Directum, will be
found in one race, together with sew
eral other fast ones. including the
Minneapolis favorite, Mark Sirius. 1t
will be q horse race worth seeing from
wire TO wire.
c. J. Hamlin. owner of Robert j,
Fantasy. Hal Pointer and several other
fat ones. was a witness of all the
races at the track yesterday. He said
that he was very highly pleased with
the Minneapolis meeting. He was talk
ing with Col. King when a reporter of
the @ | o e met him. and he and the
old ThaumaturguS of the early days
of MINNEAPOLIS were comparing notes.
Mr.. Hamlin told of how he came
to purchase Robert J, after seeing him
in a race. and was a=ked why II was
that the sireS of such horses received
no more attention than did the sire
of Robert J. Hartford, of this city
His reply was that he supposed il was
because the sire did not get enough
fast children.
The great free-for-alI trotting race
for a purse of 81 600 will be the third
event on the card today. This is so
arranged as to enable the business
men of the city to close up their days
work and be at the track in time 70
witness the race. Directum, the Cal
ifornia wonder. and Fantasy, the
queen of all harness horses, will un-
questionably give the greatest perform
ance that was ever seen in the state.
Secretary Jones was asked what he
thought of the recent law which pro-
hibits pool selling on races, and re-
piled: 1T is unQuestionably the best
law that the state ever passed. Here
tofore the element of gambling has
been so inseparably associated with the
track that the better element of society
has tabooed racing. Now there is
nothing with which the most fastidious
can find fault The race track is free
from the bes citing sin of modern times,
and any one can attend 4 racing meet
ing without being at all dissatisfied
with what they see. The result of the
law is plainly apparent in the crowds
that have come to our meeting thus
far. The society people have attended
in larger numbers than ever before,
and they have found nothing with
which to complain. The gamblers
have been relegated to the rear, and the
attendance thus far has demonstrated
that the public approves of the eliTni-
nation of this evil. There is nothing
communicating about the race
course in Minnesota today" Pres
ident Oswald and Vice Presi,
dent Goodrich are of the same opin,
ion. They point to the large attend
ance as evidence of the appreciation
of their efforts in securing the very
highest class of horses in the world,
and to the increased attendance of
society people as evidence of their
appreciation of the removal Of the
gambling that has heretofore been in,
separable from race tracks in this
state.
The card today is a hummer, and
tomorrow, for the Fourth, the races
will be of the very best. The associa.
ton looks for 10000 people on the
grounds tomorrow
