Magnet and Confederate. In this race
the betting was divided between An
! tidote and Magnet. There was a little
/ hedging on Magnet because of the fact
that she had failed to show as well as
expected against ROyaliSt. There was
but little money on Confederate al
| though that horse ran very good
race AntidOte won the race in one
! or the closest finishes of the day. The
time was 1:49ia. There was intense
excitement a the finish of this event
and when Antidote passed under the
wire but a very short distance ahead
of Magnet, mighty cheers arose from
the audience.

There was more discussion on the out
come of this race than any of the day
The horses collected at the quarter
post to start. Royalist ran away with
his jockey and went for a whole mile.
When he was quieted down, a start
was made and Antidote was left at
the pole. The flag dropped and ac-
cOrding to a great many people who
are up on the rules the race should
! have been allowed by the judges.
| AmarinO passed under the line first
| ing that he had won the race Some
| twenty minutes after this the horses
were sent back to the starting point
to run the race over again as the
| judges had decided no race" There
were then Royalist and Amarino pit
| ted against a fresh horse Antidote
came in ahead Of Amarno by very
! small margin. Time 2:17. 1t is the
belief Of many that, had Amarino been
| fresh he would surely have won the
race The decision of the judges was
| the cause of a great deal Of dissatis-
| faction.

dftion. Sympathetic's Last walked off
with the race in pretty shape, running
in his old time shape. J. r. did not
start.

ing to harness. Mile heats. Best 2 in
3; 1925 class. Purse $3.50. Entries:
Flora G., Irish Lassie and Violin. Won
by Irish Lassie First heat, 2:17 Is.
Second heat, 2:22 Notwithstanding
the fact that Violin had already been
beaten by Irish Lassie. there were
people at the track who had so much
confidence in the qualities of the for
mer horse that they backed her again,
much to their sorrow. 1T was the
opinion on all sides that Violin would
! certainly take the first heat but there
were not many people who were will
! ing to stake on her for the race. In
/ this they showed their wisdom. Irish
/ Lassie has proven herself the superior
Of Violin in three separate contests.
! Lassie is the horse Of the year in Ha-
waii.
