er, but 1t was not till the eighth score
that they got away with Frank Potts in
the rear, ten lengths at least, the others
in line. Hinbert Wilkes was the first
to show in front with Red Strath
and Bashaw Clark in attendance; these
: held fairly together till the top turn,
when Hinbert, who had lost the lead
at the last half. came like a flash and
shot into the stretch in. the lead, Win
ming easily in 2:14 For the, second
place Red Strath and BashaW Clark
made a f1ogging finish with Red Leaf
coming fast behind them and driving
Clark off his feet to bad break that
put him fifth. behind Don Payne the
distance was waived on account of
Potts bad start.
In the second heat of the PAGERS the
go was given with Don Payne away
back of the rest in line. but all quite
uncertain of the word. Hinbert Wilkes
went out of the turn in the lead, with
Red Strath trailing him closely. On the
stretch, the horses began to bunch up
and it looked like a horse race of three
at least, but though he took the lead
he could not maintain the clip and fell
back, rounding the top turn. Wilkes
and Red Strath seemed to have it to
themselves, but Doc Archibald came
at a terrific gait and seemed to have
speed enough to win out, but he fall
leie at lHe INSTANCE anu -Iell Ddck.
Red Strath, magnificently driven by
Bill Mathews, Ghe same old Bid won,
fairly lifted into the lead at the finish
by half a length from tHinbert Wilkes,
Archibald third, Frank Potts fourth.
Bashaw Clark fifth, Don Payne sixth,
and Red Leaf last with Archibald very
lime. Time, 2:13.
In the third heat Archibald was

could get no closer together on the
score than a field of a dozen There
evidently was a desire on the part of
all to get off advantageouSly. At the
third score they got off to the best
start Of the day and Red 'Strath broke
badly on the turn. letting Frank Potts
go into the stretch in front, closely
pressed by Red Leaf, with Hinbert
Wilkes a poor third. Mathews got Red
Strath down to business and began to
close up q good big gap, passing up
steadily. Potts could not maintain the
pace that Red Leaf and Hinbert Will
kes were now cutting out for each
other, and those two drew into the
straight together; Red Strath still
came on gamely, but Mathews. finding
pursuit hopeless, contented himself by
taking third place easily, Potts fourth.

In the mile dash there were seven
colored, but not one rider had any col
or given on the card; for this, and in
fact, for the harness races, the card
was dismal failure, not to say
fraud On a too confiding public. For
twenty minutes six Of the seven horses
took various parts in the breaks away,
the seventh, mounted by a. rustic in
brown jeans, was stolidly stationary.
He then made move, but the others
were not ready and the fooiing was
renewed. 1t was manifest tosan accus-
toned eye that the brown jeans would
finish last, and the question was would
he be an eighth or fourth Of a mile
behind. 1t was quarter and more. An
unartistic fiogging finish resulted in
neck win by Flying Dutchman, from
