The record-union., 1895-09-04


Alto and A. C. Severance's colt Don Rob-
erto. Palitalwas driven by John s. Phip-
pen, who holds the reins over all the Palo
Alto representatives, and George Maben
guided the Don. There was little or no
pool-selling on this event.
The word went out that Palita would be
sent to beat her record, made last
month, of 2:l94. There was same delay
in getting the youngsters of, Don Rob-
erto being unsteady in the scoring, owing
to his inability TO come up fast enough for
the FLY.
First heat-Don Roberto's driver had to
be content with trailing send-off and
soon broke and lost more ground. PaIita
went away with great speed, and would
undoubtedly have beat her record, but
she lost her feet when near the quarter
pole, which set her back considerably. a
runner took her up at The half and trailed
her TO the wire, which was crossed in 2:2l.
Second heat-Palita did not make a
break in this heat, still she did not cut
under her record. Ii was noticed by per-
SONS on the grand stand that she was not
going fast when the word was given. and
the best she could do was 2:204, though
Phippen urged her down the stretch.
Don Roberto did some bobbing, as be-
lore, and cut no figure in the heat.

Second heat-Lady Thornhill had the
worst Of it in the send-off, gs she was
galloping when the word was given, but
being on the far side af the track, with
seven horses intervening, the judges did
not notice it. Ethel Downs was soon in

the way and was only couple of lengths
behind at the finish. Rex was third most
of the time, but finished fifth. DIR. Puff
got third place and Mojave fourth.

DR.. Puff would beat Ethel out. The lat
ter led all the way TO the far turn, where
Puff came up on even terms and was
with her to the seveu-eigh thsspole where
the mare pulled away and won by two

up and passed the Doctor. Lady Thorn

five lengths ahead OF DIR. Puff, Lady
