Good pays sport, marred only by
the rail- OF Hattie l. In the 2.22 Race.
The racing Wednesday afternoon, with
the exception of a few finishes, was not
of an especially exciting character. The
time was very good considering the
weather, however, and the races on the
whole were very satisfactory.
The first heat of the 2:22 class brought
out field of 10 horses. Bay Dean, who
had the pole, led the field until the home
stretch when he was passed by Lady Won
der, who won handily, Lady Goldust and
Hattie L being third and fourth respect.
lively. Time, 1928 IA. The driver of Lady
Goldust entered protest in this heat, but
it was not allowed. The second heat of
this race was delayed somewhat on account
of the fact that Hattie l. reared when turn
ing to score, threw her driver and ran
twice around the track before she was
caught. Lady Wonder won the heat cas-
lily, not being headed at any time. Time,
2:20. At the last quarter, Hattie l. was
again unfortunate, her sulky colliding with
that of another horse and her driver was
again thrown. She ran within few hun
dred feet of the wire where she fell heav-
lily and was withdrawn from the last heat.
Lady Wonder won her third heat in 2:21,
although she was pushed hard by Ha! p,

Dean took third money and Ernest b,
fourth.

heats, 2:25 IA and 2:27 "a.
Four PAGERS and one trotter came under
the wire in the first heat of the 2:50 class
