The fight of the two factions Of the De-

for the county convention took place at the

In n free fght in which half dozen ro-

worker was severely handled. This alone
was enough to add personal bitterness to
the fight, but after the lists were iiled
there was discovery by the anti-Brown
men that fairly set them Wild and they
were on the warpath In real earnest last
evening.
The lists of delegates were filed with Sec

taken in charge by state Chairman sam
Cook and put away. 1t leaked out how
ever, that Brown. with his usual political
shrewdness, has worked a cute scheme TO
pull himself through by putting the caption

the delegations he had filed. This was done
to give Brown the benefit of all the tni'u-

RUNNING RACE, s25 l-2 MILE, TWO IN THEE
THE TRACK RECORD.


TuURsDAY's RACEs-BARNEY BREAKS
THE TRACK RECORD.
Weather conditions were more Ia
vorable on Thursday, and the long
program, including the coaching pa
rade. was carried out successfully.
The sun failed to shine but the TEN
nerature had risen to a comfortable
point once more and the threatening
clouds did nothing more than to re-
duce the attendance somewhat. How
ever, the grand stand was filled and
the track well lined with spectators,
the presence of two such noted turf
men as Ham Brock, with Barney,
2:0s. and Charles Taylor, 80 years
old. who is said to be the oldest man
in the world now riding in races,
holding the reins over Robert b, 2;l2,
proving a great attraction.
Barney, Robert b., and Ina got the
word the first time they came down
in the free-for-all race. Ham Brock
seemed disinclined to move Barney
along and Robert b. came in a good
second. though he lost by breaking at
the quarter pole. Time, 2:26 IL.
Barney took the second heat as
easily as the first, but the position OF
the other horses was changed, Robert
i. leading Ina home but he was set
back to tn lace for running.
In the third heat Barney clipped
IA IA seconds off the track record,
2:26 ID, and he also equalled his best
time made on a Vermont track at
Burlington. 'I've set a mark for 'em
to shoot at for a WHILE" said Ham
Brock.sH He announced before the final
heat that he would make fast mile,
and paced by two running horses, he
gave the spectators. who were waiting
to see what a 2:0S horse could do on
this track, an exhibition of speed that
sent them home happy and convinced
that they had seen horse race.
In the 2:25 race Putnam, Wild
Pete's driver carelessly allowed his
sulky wheel to hit Hudson's sulky,
| lust beyond the wire in a finish.
| Hudson turned and struck Putnam
across the back with his whip, the az
fair raising breeze for moment.
Wild Pete was distanced for fouling,
but the Judges afterwards reconsid-
cred the matter, giving Wild Pete
fifth place and fourth money. The
other events were scarcely less inter-
esting and kept the crowd in good
! humor all the afternoon. a running
race, two horses starting, the riders
merely wishing to give little exhibit

question Of speed between themselves,

The special race of the 2:35 class
proved the star event OF Wednesday
and was won by Wild Pete, owned by
DIR. Deane Richmond of Windsor. who
made it three straight. just before
the second heat Watch Charm reared,
throwing the driver from the sulky,
and went flying around the track. He
would have soon tired of his pace, but
an idiotic attempt was made to stop
him by throwing blanket over his
head, binding him and resulting only
in damaging the sulky in a collision
with the fence. He was caught at the
quarter pole after he had circled the
track three times. Watch Charm was
ruled out, failing to show up after the
mishap in what was considered rea-
sonable length of time, the other
drivers also protesting against his
starting again. The summaries:
