gan ita two-days' racing at tho Hazel
Dell track Wednesday. About 1000
people applauded the different events,
Everybody seemed happy. The view
from the grand stand was perfect over
the entire course. The OCCASION was
enlivened by the First Regiment Band
discoursing music after every heat.
Many ladies took advantage of the OPP
portunity to witness the racing.
The track was in excellent condition,
as the fast time indicates. Every horse
seemed to have many admirers and
many bets we're placed. The surprise
Of the day was the faultless form which
the winners of each race showed. Not
one of the first horses made skip and
they won their respective races in
straight heats.
The 3.minute class was hard race to
get started, as there wero so many false
attempts and the drivers did not aeem
TO try to come down to the wire under
the rules until two of them, Cahall and
Biggs were fined $40 each, after which
good start was made.
Twelve horses started in the 3-minute
class. Wyncote Maid, owned by II. W.
Davis OF Reading, beat out the field
and won the first heat. After this
Wync0te Maid sat the pace a..d kept 1T
throughout. winning the next two heats
and the race. Linden +. took second
money, Happy Star got fourth money
and Pom Il. fifth.
In the 2.2S class pace and trot, six
horses started, and they got away with
out much trouble, making good starts
every time. Daisy b., Boxer and Gar
rett Jr., made hard fight to land
first, but Daisy B. had plenty of reserve
speed and won by about length.
Daisy also took the next two heats
without skipping, winning first money.
Garrett Jr., was second, Boxer third
and Bonnie West, fourth.
The 8. 20 pacing and trotting race was
the prettiest of the day. Kodak, another
of h.. w. Davis string, won in straight
heats. This little race horse worked
like piece of machinery. 1t was
closely pushed, however. by George
Frazier and r. l.. o., neither of which
made any slsips. 1t was a neuk and
neck race all the way from wire to wire
between these horses. George Frazier
got second money, II. Il. O., third and
Edgar W, fourth.
