field. B. Griffin's G. w w. and d.
Z. Knights Lynall-for So
First heat-Lynan led to the quarter
by four lengths, Anselor second by four
lengths, Lottie third and dozen
lengths ahead of G. w. w The only
change in the positions up to the three
quarters was that Lottie closed up to
Anselor at the half and stayed at his
wheel. G. w. w. was not in it at any
time. A furlong from the outcome
Havey sent Anselor along and the
Palo Alto colt passed Lynall and won
easily by a length and a half in 2:2614,
Lottie third by three lengths, G. w. w.
last. LOttie broke on the first turn and
again near the outcome.
Second heat-Lottie Lilac led all the
way, but from the seven-eighths post
Anselor's nose was at her shoulder. 1t
would probably have been a dead heat
had not Lottie been forced off her feet
near the wire. AS it was, she galloped
across a head in front of Anselor in
2:204, but the heat was given to the
latter. LynaIl made q good showing,
being in second place and at Lottie's
wheel when the last stretch was reach
ed. He finished good third C. w w.
last.
Third heat-This was another close
rub between Anselor and Lottie Lilac.
The Palo Alto colt led at all stages
of the heat, but at times Lottie and
Lynall had their noses at his side. In
the last eighth Lottie made another
of her speed bursts and was gaining
inch by inch on Anselor at every stride.
AS they passed the score in 2:2414, it
looked to many like an even thing, but
Anselor had a nose the best of it..
Lynall would have been a close third,
but he broke at the drawgate and fell
back. C. w. w. retained his position
of fourth.
