STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 26.-The race
meet was brought to close to-day with
another track record broken, the black
horse Del Norte reeling off the first heat of
the 2:10 pace in 2:08. The attendance was
not as large as on Friday, but the betting
was quite as heavy. The track was in
fairly good condition and the weather de-
lightful for the lemonade venders. Nc
Nair was in good form, starting the fields
in manner that delighted the crowd.
Welcome, driven by Andy Mcdowell,
carried off first honors in the 2:10 pace;
Stella earned for her owner the best por-
tion of the purse offered for the 2:22- class
trotters, and Howard won the running
dash. The unfinished pace from Friday
was gathered in by Eelle, which took the
deciding heat from Prince Nutwood in
2:l3.
Uncanny whisperings were whisked
about by the breezes during the progress of
the pace, and If all that is heard can be
believed, Loupe could take sympathizer
down to one of the end stalls at the track
tonight and in the silent language of the
horse, unfold yarn that would be food
for the gossIps about the race course for
some days. An early switch in the betting
was the first indication that there might
be something doin'." Loup at first sold
favorite, but as the bell tapped the five
''wigglers" out, Welcome was first in
the demand at $50, with Loupe going to
the form players at SIT and the field
fetching So.
In the first heat, Durfee, behind Del
Norte, made the pace. and the black went
the half like ghost in 1 :04. with Welcome
about two lengths away. Loupe at this
stage. driven by Sullivan, could only be
reached by the leaders through telephone
connection. at the head of the stretch
Del Norte maintained his advantage, and
led Welcome out by couple of lengths in
2:08. Boy Wood finished in the suburbs
third.
A trifle like this did not. bother the We'll
come folks, for he was strong in the pools
selling for $40, Loupe 50 and the field S.
In the next heat Welcome and Del Norte
did the glad and act to the stretch. pac-
ing head and head. Loupe then came
along and won the heat easily from We'll
come in 2:09L.
Then the market was glutted with fish.
Loupe sold for $20 Welcome $40 and the
field So. The third heat was another
screw in the coffin of the harness horse.
At the first turn Loupe broke and contin-
ued jumping up and down, to the discom-
future of his hackers, for more than a fur
long. Welcome took the heat easily in
2:11X from Hazel II, with Loupe getting
the flag. To the breaking of thin bic
strap was attributed the downfall of
Loupe. 1t is to be hoped this was the
cause.
Welcome had no difficulty in winning
the next two heats in 2:13%, 2:1415.
Because of fine imposed carrier in the
week McMannus did not hold the reins
taken by Jimmy" Sullivan.
The 2:22 trot was a somewhat mixed
affair. 1t was decided under the heat
dash system. On the strength of his good
race early in the week Conn was a pro-
nounced choice for the opening dash.
Pools sold Conn $40. Clay s So and the field
So. Maud led past the half, when Stella
took the lead and won the heat easily by
two lengths from Letter B in 2:16L. Stella
was now a favorite tor the second dash and
she disposed OF Faro Bank at the end very
impressively, going the mile in 2:15L
Faro Bank tickets for the place paid
$2I 20. 1t looked as though Stella would
capture the third heat also, but break
Just, before striking the stretch proved
fatal.
Letter B went to the front and reached
the wire a length in advance of Faro
Bank, with Maude P third. Time, 2:17K.
The dash winners now went to the
stable, but four horses coming out for the
consolation purse. What little betting
was done favored Clay s slightly. Faro
Bank had the best of the Others most of
the way, but was given a hard brush the
last part by Maude P, winning by only a
head in 2:21.

wise ones. Quicksilver, sprinter of the
| George F. Smith order, broke away in
front, but received a zigzag sort of ride at
the hands OF his jockey and was nosed
out by Howard in 1:015z. The judges did
not like the complexion of the race and
declared all bets off, which proved a most
popular decision.
