ANOTHER RECORD SMASHED.
PInear Showed Her Heels to Red 9, Who
Had W WOrId's Record.

The second day of the fair was at
tended by smaller crowd than the
quality of the races called for. The day
could not have been better nor the
track faster, as was attesteG by the
smashing of another track record by
Pinear in the first heat of the three
eighths mile heat race. The knowing
ones seemed to have guessed the winner,
as most of the money was on Pinear in
spite of the fact that Red S is one of the
: finest horses that ever appeared on our
track, and now holds the worlds record
for ive-eighths of mile. But Boynton
on Pinear was equal to the occasion and
landed his mount first under the wire in
both heats. Pat Tucker was scratched
in this race.
The second race on the program was
five e-eighths mile handicap for all ages,
with purse of $l25 waiting for the
winner. Picnic, Baby Ruth, Colonel 7
and General Coxey were the heet-footed
ones sent for the hundred and quarter.
Starter Gilmore, assisted by "Toe-
weights" again demonstrated to the

no delay in calling out the horses and
sending them to the poet, which was
hundred and ten yards down the home
stretch. Before any one knew what had
happened the clatter of hoofs could be
heard coming down the course. "They're
off" went up from the grand stand, and

hill. This is place on the fair track
where blood will tell; this is where the
boys who are following in the footsteps
of Snapper Garrison or ''Dare Devil"
Fitzgibbons, who was wont to ride while
going around the turn, with one leg over
the rail, can assist the horses and al
most carry them up the grade. But
they were all blooded horses and neck

thing must be done, so the boys began
ito work and urge the animals on. They
all responded, but Colonel T seemed to
have something up his sleeve, and when
the time came, let it go and won by
length from General Coxey, who, was a
neck better than Baby Ruth. Picnic

mutuals paid $3.50 on Colonel and
$4 90 and 81 so on Colonel T and Gen

After the sports had an opportunity
TO pick out the good ones in the three
eighths mile dash for ponies, that race
was called with Princess, Little Pete,
Cricket and Rollo at catch weights.
Little Pete sold favorite, but some of
talent had not forgotten the pony race
OF last year, and believing that history
The little ones went to the post like SO
many old stagers, and after few at
tempts the flag dropped and away they
went, well punched, but Princess soon
began to lose ground. and by the time
the curve was reached che was three
lengths to the bad and all thought she
was outclassed, but the little cream was

Today's attendance at the fair is the
largest there has been at this meeting
The sunshine that peeped its head
through the clouds at noon seemed to
have brought the people out, and crowds
were standing around the pool-box, pick
ing winners, and under the grand stand
was surging mass of men all anxious
to experiment and play with fortune.
The rondo table was the center of at
traction, and as the eight ivories were
sent from the players hand and rolled
down the table, one could hear the
crowd yell, 'A beautiful rondo; dollar
six bits; who wants to tap it?''
Today's programme was one of the
best the association has ever hung up.
There were three good races-two run
ming and one trotting. The first race,
four and one-half furlongs for all ages,
with a purse of 500, brought out the
following sprinters: Red s., 119; Gen.
Coxey, 1l9; Pat Tucker, 1l9; Manic
