loving public.
The racing at the park to-day was list
less and utterly devoid of excitement.
Winship and Heating repeated their
Woodland successes with the fast mare
Laurel in the 2:25 trot and with the grand
three-year old Agitato in the pacing event.
The latter had the field at his mercy from
the outset, not being forced to step mile
better than 2:14%.
The first race called was the trotting
stake for two-year-olds, worth $3.50 to the
winner. 1t was a gift for the lakewood
Park stock farms young giant Owyhee,
who won in straight heats; time, 2:24
Z:3O. His only opponents were Uncle
Johnny and GaIleno, the latter being the
Palo Alto stock farm entry. 1t was
looked upon as a moral" for Owyhee,
and there was little betting on the affair.
IL was the maiden appearance of Uncle
Johnny this year, and from this excellent
showing. finishing very good second IN
each heat trotted, he promises to make
very useful bread winner.
The 2:25 trot was decided under the
new innovation of making each heat a
race. 1t looked "cast-iron" for Laurel,
and again the bookmakers found them
selves unable to inveigle any silver into
their take boxes" even at odds of 10 TO
on the field. Tommy Heating slipped the
tavorite past Leader, who had the pole In
the opening heat, and stepped off the last
heat in 2:1634 with pounds to spare. Maud
2, driven by Quinn, trotted very even
mile, finishing very creditable second.
The winner then took the following two
heats easily in 2:16N and 2:17, followed
in by Conn and Maud P, with the others
struggling. According to the rules, she
then went to the stable, the fourth being
sort of consolation heat for the less
speedy entries. This went to Conn, driven
by ]. 81. Kelly, with Maud close Sec
ond.
Tommy Heating, seated on his "white
flyer" was again in evidence in the pace.
Agitato was barred in the betting, pools
selling Jennie Nc SIS. Joe Wheeler $40
and the field So. There was nothing to it
but the prohibitive choice, Agitato plac-
ing the purse to his owners credit in
straight heats, with Jennie Nc the con-
tender in each heat. Joe Wheeler, on
which a quiet tip was out, finished third
! in the first heat, but thereafter was very
| unsteady. Summaries:
