Benvenuto Boone had an easy thing as
usual in winning the 2.27 trot or pace. He
let General Mac have the first heat, then
stepped in and carried off the other three.
Driver Stuart, who drove General Mac and
won second money, had an idea that the
third heat OF this race was fast one and
would lower the record of Benvenuto Boone
so that he could not again contest in the 227
class, but he was mistaken and Benvenuto
Boone is still in that class. The time for the
third mile was the slowest made in the race,
2.2S. The best time was made in the first
heat 2.27 Ia.
Riverton got third money and Hocus Pocus
the other horse in the field of course received
fourth money. The summary was:

O'cIock-Berkshire Chimes WINS @.4o
Trot and Ananias PIP Pace-Great
Programme Today.
The cold, piercing northwest wind and the
rough condition of the track after yestef-
days downpour made very fast time out OF
the question at Rigby yesterday. The WIND
was unusually strong and blew directly IN
the face of the field on the back stretch.
There were between eight hundred ana
thousand people present. Owing to the delay
in getting the track into condition the races
were not called Until o'clock ana II was
dusk when they were finished.
There is a grand field of starters 1or To-
days card including the great 2o7 pace and
there should be large crowd out TO see Ine
sport. The races will be started at l.aO
2.o7 pace and the 2.15 trot.
THE 2.40 TROT.
The first event of the afternoon ana meet
ing was the 2.40 trot or purse OF $5oo. Out
OF seventeen entries there were ten starters
to face the raw, penetrating wind 1or the
word Lucy NJ, was the fayorite although
Frank Jones' Lightmoon was also spoken
well OF. At the get away the field was wen
grouped, but gong up to the first turn Dlrec-
tina shot out of the bunch and at the quarter
pole was three lengths ahead. Directina IN
creased her lead another length at the nall
and maintained that lead to the wire.
Wilasks was doing well up to the halt when
the chestnut made bad break falling pack
to eighth place. Berkshire Chimes taking
advantage of Wilasks crept into second place
and maintained it to the finish. The heat
went to Directina, a sterling bred mare, ny
Direct, out of Stemwinder by Venture.
The second heat of the trot resulted in
somewhat of surprise for Directlna had
practically the heat won but when within a
few lengths of the wire broke and fell back
to fourth place, while Berkshire Chimes,
which had been close second forged into
the lead and held it to the wire in 81 3-4.
The third heat was a continuation of a hot
tussle between Berkshire Chimes, but there
were those bold enough Co say that Oakley
was being driven to her best. Chimes won
handily with Oakley and Lucy M, having
good contest for second place.
The fourth heat was practically a
repetition of the preceding one, .Berkshires
Chimes and Oakley having it easy from the
third quarter pole. The summary:

Aunt June scowled, grunted, and then
sighed for the less fortunate ones OF

Aunt June, uncertain whether to take

Aunt June's anger had cooled some
what when she reached the store at
which she did her trading The but
ter was weighed and she began select
ing supplies in exchange for it. If she
was slow The merchant was patient;
for Aunt June's butter was of the best,
and there was always demand for it.

was a pleasant something about it, 200.
