2 10 trot with it's thirteen STARTERS. Ed.
Bither took the first heat with Col Owen,
making him go in 2. 16 1-2. Margaret L.
finished second in the second heat and
was awarded first place on account of the
run made by Protein, who passed the
judges in the lead. Protein got the
next two heats. The race will be finished
today.
Mr.. Culbertson strengthened the good
impression that he made on Tuesday,
again getting his fields off promptly and
in good order and keeping the spectators
well posted rs to what was happening.
He iszunquestionably the best mansthat
has ever been seen in the stand at Rigby.
AS has been before stated Ernsie won
the first heat of the day in the g. 20 trot,
chased out by Lynne Bel Bither got to
going the second heat and after that first
money was at Lynne Bells mercy finish
ing in the lead three straight times in
2 16 1-2, ar 1-2, and III 1-2. A peculiar
fact is that the quarters, halves and three
quarters in the last two heats were made
in .identically the same time There was
nothing in the race that could force
Lynne Bel out within two seconds as fast
as he went at Old Orchard.
Socks, one of the most consistent per-
formers of last season, raised considerable
enthusiasm among his admirers by win
ming the first heat in the 2 13 pace In
the second heat breaks by Socks and An
tidote early after the journey was com
menced placed it at Robert G. s mercy
and he joggedsshome In 2. II. Blizzard and
Socks took turns in trying to beat Robert
G. tinssthe third and fourth heats, but the
task was too much for them, Ramsey get
ting the racy Robert home first both
times in q 13 3-4 and 2.131.3
1t was a great game of see-saw in the
2. Is trot Thirteen we'll matched horses
answered the starters summons and got
away in bunch for the first heat. Col
Owen started in good position and i'm
proved it, leading from the three quarters
to the wire and reducing his record to
2141-2 Protein led at the finish in the
position for breaks, the heat being award
ed to Margaret L. in g. Is, reduction of
one-half second in her record AL
though Protein got in quite a run in the
third heat she led by two or three lengths
at the wire, distance sufficient to COM
the judges The time of 2. Is 1-2 was a
slight cut from her previous record.
Protein repeated her performance of the
third heat in the fourth, again breaking
and again leading the field home by two
or three lengths. She was given the heat
dark that a postponement was announced
until 12 80 today when the horses will be
called, the fifth heat of the race to be
started at one o'clock.
A great card is announced for today,
the 2.24 pace, q 13 trot and 2 IS pace, be-
man will not start in the q 13 trot as en-
tries to some important races in the West.

ed to drive him an exhibition mile and
