The 80 class was more interesting.
There were I've starters and It looked In
the first heat as though VIM. Greag's
Norland would be the winner, but you
can't always tell Mt first, you know.
Norland had plenty Of speed but Is big
gated and had difficulty In getting
around the turns. In the second heat
Harrison Boy showed up 10 front. Later
II was pretty evident that the sorrel
horse, Carmine, was being driven for
second place only and the grand stand
cried out for new driver and got It.
This brought Carmine to the front 10
three heats, though there Is still lin.
geriug suspicion that Harrison Boy
might have won the race had he been
driven out. The finish Of the last heat
was handsome race. Don Carlos was
drawn 10 the third heat on account OF
lamepess.

WEDNESDAYS RACES.
The second days races were among
the best ever seen on this track. IL was
evident throughout that the peopl,
who paid to see the horses driven were
| getting their moneys worth. Every
race was fought. The fields OF horses
we're large and the result chapter oil
accidents. The track should be wider
for large fields OF horses.

era, and IL took six heats TO fiud tn
