The 2:4O pace was as pretty race as
has ever been seen on a New Ulm track.
Six horses started and the striking feat
ure of the race was the surprising work
of Spoerhase's Nan Wilkes. Enarant, a
Minneapolis horse, led to the quarter
pole with Judge Mills q close second.
At the half they were neck and neck
and continued 50 until they reached the
wire, the work of these two horses alone
making as pretty a race as one could
| wish for. But the excitement came
when, in the last quarter, Nan Wilkes,
who seemed to have no show of win
ming, crowded up on the home stretch at
what might have been 2 10 clip and
won the heat by head. The crowd ap-
preciated the splendid feat of the horse
and driver and manifested it with loud
cries of applause. Judge Mills also
passed Enarant just before reaching the
wire and thus added to the general ex-
citement. Humwood was distanced, and
the others reached the wire in the fol-
lowing order: Nan Wilkes, Judge Mills,
Enarant, Sarah and N. NJ. B.
The second heat was not 50 exciting.
but was nevertheless interesting, owing
to the steady work of Nan Wilkes and
Judge Mills. The former led to the
first quarter, was passed in the second,
moved up again in third and finished an
easy winner. Judge Mills came in Sec
ond, Sarah third, Enarant fourth and N.
M. B. fifth.
The last heat was much the same.
Judge Mills and Nan Wilkes reached the
quarter pole neck and neck, Judge Mills
keeping slight lead until the last half.
The contest for third place between Sa-
rah and Enarant was also close through
out the whole heat. Nan Wilkes finished
first, Judge Mills second, Enarant third
and Sarah fourth, the money being
divided as follows: Nan Wilkes first,
Judge Mills second, Enarant third and
Sarah fourth. Here is the result Of the
