] MALCOLM WINS A HEAT
The third heat of the Il pace was a
beauty. 1t was lost to Billy d. by a

| him TOO far behind to be able to again
head the party in the heat, but he hew
after he caught his feet and finished
third with Malcolm and Dick Kitchen
all in bunch.
The horses went away with an excel

his Mace in the lead. Malcolm skirted
the first turn at Billy DIS wheel and

close that his nose was nearly on Jen-

seeming almost to stand still when he

Scott just saved a collision by jerking
his horse to the side. The break gave
/ u alcolm the lead and Kitchen drew up
on him on the back stretch and until
the turn was reached there seemed not
a hairs difference between the posi-
tons of the two horses. On the turn
Malcolm drew away from Kitchen a
half length and in that position
they came down the stretch. making
the first half in Ill. Billy D. was
gaining steadily and working beauti-
fully and had headed Freddie r. and
was leading him by couple of lengths
at the half. Down the back stretch
Malcolm and Kitchen We're again

stretch both horses worked hard. Nal

Billy D. third and Freddie r. fourth.
silly D. came down the stretch like the
wind but had lost too badly by his
break to save himself the heat. Nal
colin and Dick Kitchen were so evenly
matched in the heat that had the latter
had the pole the heat would have been
his
RUNNING EVENT.
The three-eighths mile dash was next
called. There we're three starters,
Spider, Snail and Esmeralda with S. n.
Evans, Scott Reid and Billy Evans up
in the order named. Spider got the pole,
Snail second and Esmeralda outside.
They went away at the second score
with Snail slightly behind the other
two. who We're abreast. Spider went
quickly TO the front, with Esmeralda
second. close alongside and Snail trail
ing. The dash was finished in 81 It
was clean race with Spiders oroo-
nents going their best While he could
have let out another link had he been
required to. Spider sold favorite in the
pools, which were played more literally
than IN any of the other races.
As the race finished Snaifs rider, the
lad Reid. was unable to take him in
and he made the circuit of the track.
The saddle had not been properly
cinched M and on the upper turn it
relied and threw the boy. lie was seen
to hang to the horses neck an instant,
then drop to the ground, while the
crowd stood paralyzed with fear lest
he had been killed or seriously injured
Everybody was immensely relieved
when they saw him pick himself up
and come down the stretch. He had
managed to drop clear from the horse
and was not injured beyond a few
slight bruises.
The fourth heat of the pacing race,
which closed the days sport, was a
crowning performance for a day of ad-
mirable events. 1t demonstrated the
staying qualities of all the horses en-
gagged and furnished what was said to
be the handsomest performance two
horses have ever given race lovers at
supremacy between Billy D and Nal
COIN. which resulted in favor of the
former by a mere head. in 2:22 re-
markable time for a fourth heat, after
the others had called out all that was
in the horses. Billy D. had been the
favorite in the pool selling all along
and he now sold heavily against the
field.
1t took long time to get the heat
started owing to Tom Mccoy. who
was behind Freddie r.. trying to ger
little the best of it in the scoring.
Repeatedly the horses scored up to the
stand with Freddie r. from one to
Two lengths ahead of the party, until
the judges got out of patience with
cautioning Mccoy, and were about to
SEND him and his horse to the barn
when they all came down in a bunch
and were sent away. Malcolm had ne
pole, and went away from Dick
Kitchen in second place just far enough
for Billy D.. who had been keeping
pace with him in third place, to pull
in and take second position along
side as Malcolm turned into the back
stretch. AT the eighth, Billy D. had
completely overhauled Malcolm. and
the two were nose to nose. Then came
an exhibition which reused the specta-
tors to high pitch of enthusiasm
For five-eighths of a mile they main
tanned that position, and though Jen-
sen and Spicer drove them to their
utmost, neither horse had two feet the
best Of the other during the entire
distance
While the mighty struggle was going
on. Dick Kitchen and Freddie r., two
lengths behind, we're emulating their
example. From the time the party got
