Time-2.22 IA, 2.1S Ia, 2.191-2. e.1s1-4.
Ihe race OF the afternoon, however, or
at least the event which occasioned the
most interest was that which finished the
programme for the day, the 2.19 pace. AL
though the favorite once more held his
own and succeeded in landing the money
for his admirers without difficulty, there
were several elements of uncertainty in
the field all of which kept the crowd on
the lookout for sensations from the be-
ginning to the end. The sensation, If it
was expected did not materialize, but this
made no difference as long as each and
every heat was driven for all it was worth
to make the closing event of the day seem
a very interesting one.
When the horses came out in the 2.19
pace and scored down to the wire for the
word it was seen that there were six good
ones in the bunch. They all behaved
no aggravating delays for the field was
sent off each time in good shape and this
adds an immense amount of enjoyment
to any event.
In the first heat Bay Baron drew the
pole, but Adonis stole the place away
from him and held it all the way around
the course. Old Jock Bowen was up be-
hind him and there were many who
thought that in Adonis winner was to
be seen. The first mile was made in
ali a.
In the second heat Freedmont finally
got into the game and this time Bay
Baron and Aliquippa were the thorns
which forced the favorite to drive out the
heat IN the best time of the day, 2.13 4.
Bay Baron was only length behind the
favorite at the finish and Aliquippa was
third.
In the third heat Freedmont took the
lead once more. Great things had been
predicted for A. S. L. driven by Sterling
and in this heat the horse seemed to be
about to verify the predictions that had
been made for him. But to do his best he
could not head the favorite and came in
under the wire in second place.
The fourth heat was the best of the
afternoon. Freedmont led all the way,
but at the three-quarter mark it seemed
as If Sterling with A. S. L. was to take
the lead, but the gray broke and fell back
into the field. Adonis with Jock Bowen
up behind him came into the home
stretch at a Ii sely gate and held on to his
position half length in the rear of the
favorite who won the heat and race. The
summary:
2.19 -PACING-PURSE $500.
