But for the accident to young Cuddy
it would have been an afternoon Of
great sport. There were six races and
all of them were good ones. It was an
other great day for Boots Elmwood
Stable. He won first money in the first
race for twO-year-old non-winners with
Vincitor. then he pulled down second
money in the third race with Hohenzol-
lern, and got first and third moneys i'm
the fourth race with Nebuchadnezzar
and Installator. In fact, Boots got
more or less of every purse and stake
for which his Brutus colts started
And George Rose, the bookmaker
whose smile and CHEEKY tone never fail
him even when fortune goes against
his pool box, had a pretty good day of
it, too. He won second money in the
first race with Miss Maggie NJ, by
| imported Midlothian, first money in the
third race with Geyser, by Ben Ali
(both bred at Haggin's farm in this
county, and second money in the
fourth race with Ruinart
The Pueblo Stable came in for first
money in the second race with Thelma.
In the fifth race the Floodmore stable
took first money with La Flecha, a 20
to l shot, William Thompson's Silver
State took second, and Lake View Sta
ble's Blanche Bates, 80 to !, took third.
First honors in the hurdle race fell
TO Zaragosa, second to Baby Hill and
third to Gold Dust
No finer day for racing ever dawned
than yesterday, and the splendid pro-
gramme offered attracted to the park
one Of the largest crowds ever seen at
the State Fair, a great portion Of
whom were ladies. The day passed en-
jCyably for everyone up TO the closing
event when the unfortunate accident to
