TODAY'S RACES AT DRIVING PARK.
Raven, tho Record. Holding Half.
Mile Marc, Will Appear.

This afternoons races of the Gentle
mems Driving club will begin at 9
o'clock. The entries have been swelled
by the addition of l.. Y. Payne's bl. g.
Duke to the 2.35 class; DIR. Wentz's b. g.
Dick Atkins and H. H. Haward's Kittie
Mac to the 3-minute class. An enter
tanning event will be the free-for-all
hitch race in which each driver must
harness his own horse unassisted and
drive a mile.
Each race IS very we'll filled and the
programme Is an attractive one.
The black pacing mare. Raven. owned
by DR.. Wentz, the fastest pacing mare
over a half-mile track In the world, will
go three exhibition miles. This queen
Of the half-mile track holds the track
record Of every half mile track she has
ever started on. Raven has started
in the last three years in forty-twO
races and has won forty Of them, being
second and third in the two races she
failed to win, and these were over mile
tracks. A few of her races were:
Wheeling, 2.14; Mansfield. 2.A; Dayton.
2.14; McKee's Rocks; 2.l2ls; Washing
ten, 2.13k; Gentleman's driving park,
Baltimore, 2.l1A; Warren, Ohio, 21OA.
At Pimlico track, Baltimore, she got
her present mark, 2l0, winning the
three heats IN 2.lOla. 2.1OA and 2.10. She
has defeated in races Hal Pointer,
9.04A; Ben D., Avesta G. and host of
horses with marks OF EOS or better.
This Is n remarkable record and shows
that Raven Is truly one Of the wonders
OF the race track. This will be the only
opportunity Scrantonians will have Of
portunity should be embraced by every
lover of fast horse, as she will be driv-
en- one fast mile by her skillful driver.
Mr.. r. c. Westlake and 1t Is hoped by
the Centleman's Driving club that the
effort to have one Of the fastest horses
in the world go tomorrow, will will be
appreciated by good attendance
