HoLToN, Kan, Aug. 2.-The most Won
derful thing Oh yesterdays aces as the
successful attempt Of the great Kansas
stallion Joe Young, to break his record
# 2:Iy15. This was made many years
ago with high wheeled sQiky ON half
nile track, but The weight of 20 years
ras the handicap yesterday.
Ia spite of his age he stepped like
ing when " estb brook brought him out
Tor the rial. Al the second atiem Ut
he got off He broke soon after getting
the word, and lost fully second
on the first quarter, but came strong the
rest Of the wav, ana when West brook
shook the whip in his ear in the stretch
he responded nobly The large crowd
cheered enthusiastically when Starter
Nc IN air announced the time, 2:18 Mr.
Westbrook himself is sixcy-three years of
age, and has always driven Joe. joe
Young is the property OF g. W. Shupe of
Peabody, and his most notable relative is
the great Kansas PAGER. Joe Patchen,
1904, of whose dam he is the sire.
Although the events on Yesterdays
card did not furnish much in the way of
contests for first moneys they were inter
esting all through and many pretty drives
were made for the place in almost every
heat The track was in splendid condi-
ton and the attendance was again large.
r. I. Lee gave Miss Quickly a mark of
2:21L in race for that purpose, but will
try to better it today if a race can be ar
| ranged.
R. I. Kreipes McCander was all
wrong in the PIT pace, and Keets was
unable to get him in the money. He was
favorite for the first heat Whitley has
the speed of bullet and won in a walk.
| The Topeka horse, ]. K. H. owned by
| Willis 81 Payne, was in form and got
third money, making good whipping
! finish in the second heat.
! McVera, because he went a heat in
2:14 at st. Joe, WAS hot favorite for the
! first heat in the 1929 trot Reno, owned
by J. W. Bell of Topeka, led to the dis
| lance pole in the first heat, bat could go
no further. As he kept quitting further
/ back each time he was drawn after the
| third attempt.
The fourth race was not only straight
! heat, but straight place affair The
! first five horses finished in the same
places each time Patriot, the winner
is good horse. Miss NJ. Anna, Wilson's
Valencia, was we'll up in the place each
time, and Reckless, another Topeka
horse owned by Zach RamsdalI, got 4th
| money.
In the mile handicap bicycle race Hal
Hazlett of Topeka was the scratch man
among eight starters with handicaps
reaching 400 yards Secretary Beau
champs son, with handicap of 300
yards, was first home, and Hazlett came
next
Oae of the hippodrome running races,
half mile dash between horses ridden
by two women and TWO men Jockeys,
showed an eye lash finish between three
of the horses.
Starter McNair and the judges have
given satisfaction to every one.
Today's races bring the meeting to a
close.
