The 2:20 trot continued from yester-
day will be finished today.
The first days racing OF the state fair
opened up with the 800 trot with six
starters. A high wind from the south
interfered with the horses on the back
stretch and made the time several sec
onds slower than il would have been
otherwise. The majority Of the specta-
tors were children, which shows that the
Kansas school child appreciates fine
racing. When the horses were lined up,
F. A. Russell. the favori;e. had the pole
and the most Of the money in the pool
box. They got off in good shape but
Russell broke in the first quarter and
fell back TO the rear. A repetition of
breaks kept him in that place. Askey
took the lead and kept it all the way
round the oval, being pushed by Dude
Egmont and Arthur Wright, who had a
whipping finish for second place, Dude
Egmont winning out by neck. The
time of heat was 2:22 1-2. Lena, George
V and F. A. Russell brought up the
rear in the order named.
The first heat of the 2:15 pace was
next called with only three starters. P.
J. had the pole but lost his feet at the
eighth. Topsy S. moved up in front and
finished we'll in the lead, with P. j. sec
ond and Billy the Twister third. The
latter only missed the flag by a few
yards. Time PA ga.
Next heat was the second OF the three
minute tro:, with Askey at the fence.

place. The field was stretched out until
they swung into the stretch when they
punched, with Askey taking the outside
and setting a not pace for them. Four
abreast they came down to the wire,
Askey in the lead by half a length, fol-
lowed by Dude Egmont, Arthur Wright,
F. 4. Russell. George V. and Lena in the
order named. Time 300 "a.
The second heat Of the 2:15 pace start
Cd off in good shape. Topsy s, as be-
fore. took the front position with Billy
the Twister following and P. J. trail
ing. The first half was made in los and
the side-wheelers moved around with
out break. They finished in the same
order in which they went around the
track in the good time of PIP ga.
In the last heat of the three-minute
trot. /; was a fight for fourth money, as
the first, second and third places had al
ready been decided. This was the slow
est heat of the race, and the horses kept
punched ali around the track. The fir
ish was also closer than the others and
they passed under the wire in the fol-
lowing order: Askey. Arthur Wright,
George V. Dude Egmont, F. A. Russell
