THE TWO-THIRTEEN TROT.
The starters in the 2.13 trot drew
positions as follows: Tomah. Edith H.,
Celaya, Nemoline, James L.. Early Bird
and Fannie Wilcox. There was much
difficulty in getting off for the first heat.
Fannie Wilcox who drew sixth place had
to be put on the outside. She is wild
creature and very uncertain. After
scoring many times, they came down as
scattering as flock of cartridges. Starter
Jenkins shouted: "You can't get off in
that way" and then to everybody's sur
prise shouted Co" 1t was a very uneven
start and the audience seemed to think
So Tomah was not headed at all. He
took long lead on the back stretch.
Edith H., drew away from the bunch
after him, but couldn't close up the gap.
The fight was between James L. and
Early Bird for third place, but the latter
couldn't hold the pace and finished
fourth. Tomah and Edith finished first
and second, the same positions they had
held from the start. The time was Q 15
Fannie Wilcox got steadied down in
the second heat and showed that she is
fast as she is skittish. Tomah couldn't
hold the pole after the first turn and gave
place to Edith H. The gray mare held
the pole till past the half when Fannie
Wilcox went ahead, James l.. and Tomah
coming close after. just before the last
turn, James L. made wild break and
then down the home stretch began to
close up on the brown mare. By splen-
did burst of speed in response to Swim
toms urging, James L. shot by Fannie
just before the wire and came in first
Because of his break, which the judges
decided to be gaining one, James L.
was set back to second place and the heat
given to Fannie Wilcox. Tomah was
faster at the last than Edith H. and
came in third. The latter got only fourth
place, after her long lead on the back
stretch. The time was 2.10I. This
lowered Fannie Wilcox's record two
seconds. The quarters were 3219, 1.03a,
]. 36 and 2.10A. The pace was altogether
too hot for Early Bird who finished fifth.
The third heat was fierce contest be-
tween Fannie Wilcox, Tomah and James
L. After the half these three great horses
drew away from the rest and fought it
out alone. James L. was second till the !.
last turn, when he went off his feet at
that critical point, just as he did in the
previous heat Tomah took second and
made fine burst for first place close to
the wire, but Fannie Wilcox won by a
neck. Early Bird led the tailenders and
came in fourth. Edith H. was off color
in this heat and couldn't seem to strike
her gait. The time was 2. 1874. Celaya
was drawn.
The fourth heat of this exciting race
was the most sensational and surprising
yet. Nemoline was trailing and had a
very poor chance at the go" being
several lengths behind Fanny Wilcox
kept the pole till the third quarter, with
James L. and Tomah close behind.
James L. broke at that point for the
third time and fell out The rest were
all punched at the beginning of the home
stretch. when Fannie Wilcox lost her feet
and Early Bird took her place. oline
came to the front, most unexpectedly and
contested the lead with Early Bird. It
was no use for Golden to ply the whip.
The steady roam stallion was doing his
best as he always does Nemoline's ex-
traordinary squirt was simply irresistible.
The black mare had chance among the
leaders for the first time and there wa
no beating her. She tore down to the
wire like whirlwind, and steadily
passed Early Bird and won. James L.
was third and Tomah fourth. The crowd
cheered long and loudly, as Nemoline
made this unexpected victory, for they
remembered the poor chance she had at
the start The time was 2. IL.
The fifth heat went to Nemoline by a
repetition of the sensational finish of the
previous heat She lost the pole to Tomah
at the first turn and Early Bird took
second place. There was great burst of
speed at the half and they all closed up
in a bunch. Fannie Wilcox came around
on the outside, and it looked as if she
would get the heat and race, but
Nemoline's squirt at the last turn was
Just like the last one, Early Bird
struggled even better than before and it
was something of question to the
