the Wire.

the Wire.
PETALUMA, CAL, Aug. 7.-As the
close OF the fair approaches there is q
marked increase in the attendance.
The crowd to-day was by long odds the
largest of the week and the betting very
brisk. The programme was a long one,
the light-harness brigade rattling off six
teen well contested heats, and with five
furlong running dash lovers of the sport
about had a surfeit.
The unfinished 2:15 trot, in which much
interest as well as hard coin was wrapped
up, was the first event called by Starting
Judge McNair. With one heat to her
credit on the day preceding Gallette came
out glossy and fresh and annexed the $40O
purse for her owner. Jasper Ayers still
ruled fayorite, but acted rank, and was
never dangerous.
George Washington was the contending
horse in the first heat t1otted to-day, sue
cumbing to the mare by head IN z:io.
Now selling prime favorite over the nelo,
Gallette took the concluding heat and race
after a lively brush at the close with
Chico. who came like ghost the last 1ur-
long.
The event that aroused the most enthu-
siasm was the 2:14 pace captured by game
little Plunkett. The gelding was lame,
which earned for him the sympathy OF
the crowd, and the driver, Dan Mlsner,
was the recipient of quite an ovation at
the finish of the sixth and deciding heat.
After taking two heats, Javelln horrlhed
her hackers by going into the air at the
first turn and having the red flag waved IN
her face.
The 2:24 trot went to Harry Winchester,
driven by P. w. Hodges, who was also up
behind Gallette, making quite an eventful
day for that clever reinsman. lrylngton
ReII went for a record, and the favorite,
imp. Ivy, was first past the wire IN the
running affair.
The announcement was made from the
stand during the afternoon that the spe-
cial attraction for tomorrow would be
mile dash between the crack PAGER w.
Wood (2:07) and Oscar Osen, the pro-
fessionai bicyclist.
After Irvington Bell, trailed by Bernard,
had travelled around the circle twice. and
taken o mark of play, the 2:24 trot began
and the coin rolled into the pooibox.
Harry Winchester sold choice at $40, with
Auditor bringing So and the field 81.
Clovis drew the pole, but was passed on
the first turn by Addison, who took the
heat cleverly from Auditor in 2:Z213, with
Harvey Mac a good third
The held now sold favorite, with Addison
and Harry Winchester selling out at 50
each.
In the next heat Addison was passed by
Claudius at the first turn, but again re-
gained the lead going to the hall, and won
the heat in fine style from Auditor in
2:20K.
Addison now had the call, but lost the
third heat to Harry Winchester by q short
head in very exciting drive that set the
crowd wild.
The next heat was also gathered in by
Winchester, who led his field from the
word and joggled under the wire two
lengths in advance of Auditor.
Hardly we'll under way in the fifth heat
the favorSte, Harry Winchester, made
break at the turn, closing several lengths.
Hodges, however, managed to get his
horse well to the fore before the half was
reached and fought the heat out with
Niece. Breaking just before the wire was
reached he was placed second tor running,
the heat going to the mare.
Niece found egg shells to tread on before
covering a quarter of the distance in the
sixth trot, and going TO the front the
favorite captured the heat and race easily
with Addison finishing second.
HIN the final betting Winchester sold 2
TO choice over the field.
There was some brisk pooling done on
the 2:14 pace. Javelin brought $40, Han
ford Medium So, Allie Cresco So, Piunkett
81 and Prince Nutwood 81 The fsvorite,
with Ben Chaboya up on the bike behind
her, took the first two heats cIeverly and
it looked all over.
In the third heat she made one of her
famed breaks and lost nearly quarter of
mile, finally catching the flag. Prince
Nutwood took this heat, but the next
three went TO Plunkett in the slow time of
2:191l, 2:19Z and 2:26.
There were seven starters in the five fur
long dash. Imp. Ivy was hot favorlte
at post time and, shaking of Blue Bell in
the stretch, won by q length in 1:011l. Sea-
side snatched the place from Blue Bell the
last few jumps.
