once during the day did they show any
evidences of excitement at ali over the
flyers on the track and that was when
the half mile dash running race was on.
Miss Ferguson. Salt Lakes new deputy
sheriff. was there. Her faVorite horse was
Vivian Vinton. and when the little bay
dashed under the line in the lead her face
frightened with a pleasing expression of
satisfaction.
Altogether there were not over 800
people on the grounds

THE BEST OF ALL
The half mile dash running race be
tween Vivian Vinton. Spider, Esmeraloa
and Gipsy Boy was really a pretty race

mean or the track sometimes, was
biinkers. The three first named horses
kent very nearly even from the start but |
Vivian Vinton got under the wire first, |
by Spider second, Esmeralda |
third. Gypsy Boy did not seem to be |
match for them.
No purses were put up for yesterdays |
races except that one half the gate re- |
ceipts were divided equally among the |
winners.
Ii is expected the attendance at the |
races today viii be considerably larger |

race between Rex Membrino, Freddie r.
