the last heat OF the 2:15 pace was a
| repetition Of the second and the horses
moved in exactly the same time. The
| only feature Of this heat was the funny
expression on Perry's face as ne sat on
| the sulky and took second money.
Time PIP 3-4
When the first heat Of the 2:20 trot
was called there was a ripple of excite
| ment among the 1orsemen, caused by
speculation as TO the merits OF Vendor
and Ashbrook, the Winfield horses, en-
tered in this race. Lulu Dulaney, the
old-time Wichita favorite, seemed TO be
sore and wore hobbies, which apparent
~ handicapped her. After scoring a
number Of times, they got off with Lulu
Dulaney on the pole. She didn't hold
il long until Silver Throne passed her,
followed by Vendor and Ashbrook. Com
ing down the stretch Silver Throne was
in fair way for second place, but broke
before reaching the wire and was placed
back 10 third place. Vendor won, Ash
brook, second; Silver Throne, third, and
L1lu Dulaaey. fourth. Time ZIG IA.
Between heats the Nash combination
came out with running teams hitched to
skeleton road wagons. One team was
driven by a man and the other by
woman and contrary 10 the usual meth
cd Of finishes in races between the sexes,
the man won. Time 1:54 IA.
After this exhibition the second heat
of the 2:20 trot was called. Several
scorings were necessary before the word
was given and just as they started
Lulu Dulaney went off her feet and was
pulled away back. Silver Throne got
the pole and set terrific pace, finish
ing far ahead Of the field. Vendor sec
ond. Ashbrook a close third and Lulu
Dulaney fourth. This heat broke all
previous track records for trotting
horses. Time 2:15.
The Nash combinations then gave a
novelty race between riderless rum
ming horse and two women mounted on
runners. The loose horse maintained the
lead until the flag and then the women
passed il and won first and second
places.
The third heat Of the 2:20 trot was
started with Silver Throne at the pole.
BY succession Of breaks on the part
OF the other horses, he stayed in front
until far down the stretch. He was then
pushed by Vendor and went off his feet
for moment. Before he caught him
self Vendor had gained the advantage
and in the most exciting finish Of the
day, the Winfield horse passed under |
the wire short nose ahead OF the Pea
body horse. Ashbrook was third and |

pulled off today at 80. 1t will be a |

The old man who looks out at the
world with clear and healthy eyes
cannot help feeling great qualification
at the thought that his children have
inherited from HIM no weakness nor
tendency to disease. The healthy old
man is the man who has throughout
his life kept his digestion good and
his blood pure. Not one in thousand
does do 1t. Germs go through the
healthy body without effect. Let
them once find Judgment or let the
find a weak spot, they will develop by
giving strength to the tissues, it will
force upon them Innutritious matter,
and the man will lose flesh and the
more susceptible he is to disease. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
the only medicine that absolutely and
infallibly cures all blood diseases, and
almost all diseases are blood diseases.
1t isn't a medicine for some one par
ticular so-called disease. 1t is med
icine for the whole body. 1t forces
out all the germs of disease, and re-
places impurities with rich, red blood.
