purse of $500 given by the association and
$3.50 side additional. Toggles had the
pole, and was given about half length the
best of the start. Clark sent the black
ahead, and at the quarter was leading by
three lengths. At the half this had been
increased to four lengths. Williams then
sent Monterey after Toggles and had made
up two lengths and half when they
swung wide into the stretch. Toggles
managed to keep ahead. though, and beat
out Monterey by a scant half a length, af-
ter an exciting brush. The time was 2:09N.
This equals the coast record. and the local
tracks record also. klamath won mile
heat here some years ago in this time, and
Ottinger made the same time on one of tha
northern tracks.
It was expected that Monterey would
take the second heat, and but for unfor-
tunate breaking the big sorrel would GER
tainly have evened up matters with Tog-
giles. Monterey was to 5, and Toggles
went back in the betting to 8 to- 5. They
were soon off to perfect start but scarce
ly had they left the pole before Monterey
broke, and could not be pulled down to his
feet In a hundred yards. He broke again
at the one-eighth pole, and when Williams
got him quieted a second time Toggles had
secured lead of twenty lengths, and had
the race at his mercy. Monterey did not
make up much ground between the quar-
ter and half. but in the latter part of the
race the big sorrel showed a remarkable
burst of speed, and Williams secured the
pole from Toggles on turning into the
stretch. There were loud cheers for Mon
terey as the big animal came laundering
down the stretch after the black but Tog-
giles had too big lead, and won the heat
and race by three lengths. Time. 2:O91a
