THE RACES
There were two events on the card for
the afternoon races. That veteran of
starting Judges, Mr.. Isaiah Pompilly,
held the bell rope in the judges stand,
and rang up the trotters in the three
minute class first The judges were
Alonzo Libby, A. J. Clarke and H. s.
Usher. TheStrack was in good shape and
on it there appeared eight starters for the
three minute race for trotters. There
were some lively youngsters in the lot,
too The well known stallion Bismarck,
lowned by G. r. Richards of Falmouth,
Danil, speedy bay gelding entered by
&C. E. jenkins, j. B. Woodbury's chest
nut mare Emma Nelson, Baby Mine and
June Wilkes, the latter a Portland horse.
Fred Weaver, the Buxton stallion, and
,Phenol made up the field. 1t was a fast
Ieollection, the first heat being trotted in
a30L, several seconds faster than was
over done on the track in a three minute
race 1t was hard field to send away.
Ethel G. had the pole, and set them a
fair gait but Baby Mine was up in the
air coed part of the time and Emma
Nelson was always trying to beat the
field. before she reached the wire. Mr..
Pompil1y held them well in hand, how
ever, and when a start was finally made,
Fit was good one. Bismarck put his
head into the front place and seeing
plenty of room for himself let out a link
and led the field all the way round.
Danil was really his only competitor at
the close with Emma Nelson good
third. Fred Weaver was in fourth place,
but as he had tried to turn the trot into a
running race the judges put him back in
eighth place.
The second heat was a repetition of the
first as far as the leaders were concerned.
Bismarck. was not headed, but Danil
chung to his sulky wheel all the way
around, with Emma Nelson again in
third place. Baby Mine finished in fifth
place, but was put in sixth position for
long break at the start.
The third heat was q surprise in one
particular Ira Woodbury. was up behind
Phenol and the stallion instead of coming
| in at the rear of the parade was in third
place at the finish, giving him the fourth
money Phenol made several breaks but
did not gain, by them while Baby Mine
which would have been third had Phenol
been set back, had made one long and
gaining break in the opinion of the
judges. The summary.
