and Joe Patchen (2:0z), two of the fastest
performers on the turf, came together in a
special contest. There were 1000 people
present Besides the star card there were
two other special races which proved to be
two of the cleverest exhibitions seen in

half in 1:041l. After passing the half
Curry let up and allowed McCalry to draw
up SO as to be within the flag. The time

In the second heat Patchen took the
lead at the word and held it throughout,
covering the half in 1:0415 and the mile in
2:08A. The flag fell slightly in advance of
Star Pointer. Patchen and Curry were
the recipients of tremendous applause.

mile paced by the running horse Joe Cot
