DR.. c. W. Shores carried off the
prizes a Calder's park Of the most in
teresting and exciting racing ever wit
messed on that course. From 500 to l.
600 people graced the bleachers and
grand stand while hundreds of others
lined up along the picket fence and
shouted for their favorites.
The betting was brisk from the time
the horses made their appearance be-
fore the judges stand until the last
heat had been run. There were plenty
of hackers for the favorites, too many
in fact as the field had the advantage
during the entire day
PACING 2:35.
Four events were down on the card.
The first to start was the 2:35 pacing
event for which the entries were DR..
Malcolm, by c. w. Shores, Rex, by
an unknown, Bobby B, by B. Brisco,
and Tom McCoys Old Dominion.
Rex took the first heat, distancing
Bobby B, while Old Dominion came in
second. The second heat was taken by
Old Dominion quite handily. DR..
Shores horse coming in second while
for some unaccountable reason Rex
was distanced leaving the field clear
for Old Dominion and DR.. Malcolm.
With these two the betting opened
with the former as a favorite. He
failed to land the money, however, DR..
Malcolm showing up in fine shape and
taking three straight heats, winning
the race.
FREE FOR ALL
In the free-for-all event there were
five entries, Blue Note, by J. W.
Thompson, Dennis by c. W. Shores,
Will Busby's 10 10 and Erma D A, by
Harry Duke. Blue Note was the favor
lite against the field and after taking
the first heat very easily it looked as
though there was not sufficient horse
flesh on the track to even warm him
up but in this his hackers were mis-
taken. The second heat was also won
by him with half length to spare
to Dennis while 10 10, who made sew
eral breaks, and Erma, D A made a.
poor showing, narrowly escaping being
tagged. Blue Note was the favor
lite against the field again in
the third heat and pools were
selling lively. In the start Dennis made
good squirt and lined up with the
favorite, keeping up the pace around
the course. At the half mile pole Dr.
Shores horse appeared to- be pulling
Slightly ahead, but lost the advantage
on the short turn and fell back until
the leaders were again going abreast.
On the last turn Blue Note forged
ahead half a length, but when the
down stretch was reached, Dennis
made magnificent effort and took the
heat by a neck. Then it was rumpred
thar the favorite could not take any
more heats, and this seemed to be the
case, for the doctors horse took the
next two heats also, and was apparent
ly very little worried about it.
RUNNING DASH.
For the three-eightfls mile, running
dash, the entries were Flying Dutch
man, Spider. June Bug and Aeolian, jr.
The good work of the Dutchman ON the
previous day made him q favorite with
the sporting element and there were
plenty of those who had money to bet
on the field that were accommodated.
Spider made a poor showing Friday
and was not much considered. He sur
prised everybody, even his owner, by
taking the race very easily, with June
Bug second, ACCLAIM jr., third. and
the Dutchman last. Time, OBS.
