the re-opening was the best and most
satisfactory evening of the sport so
far given here. All competition rec
ords were broken and in but a single
instance was there loafing. The finals
were paced and were lively from the
start with finishes that brought every
neither jangles nor accidents of any
moment and the program was run off
without long waits. The three cor
nered match proved great card and
the outcome if that contest will result
in some other races in the same class
equally exciting.
Strong counter attractions made the
Cyclomere, Saturday night attendance
smaller than it should have been.
However, the management feels much
encouraged by the patronage given
and will give a good card for Satur-
day evening next The lighting is all
right now and the track is fast.
Half Mile Open Amateur-The first
Ludloff and Brede qualifying. The
second heat was a good one with
Cowes, Eakin and Chiffon making
themselves eligible for trys at tho
prizes. In the final LudlCff rode q
fine race, and won, though Cowes gavI
him a good brush and Brede was not
bad third. Will Lyle paced the fin
al on a single and the time was 1909
. T.
as amateurs are concerned.
Mile Open Professionalism was
plenty Of fighting in this event.
Jones, Manoa and Jackson, in the or
der named, qualified in the first heat
and Martin and Sylvester in the sec
end. The final was paced by Murray
and Porter on a tandem and was taken
by Jones in PIG, with Martin a very
close second and Manoa a good third.
There was a fine battle down the
stretch to the tape between Jones and
Martin and at one time it looked very
much like Martins race. Jones show
ed his superior generalship and judge
of pace. He made the tape like a
whirlwind, while Martin was late in
getting up steam. The race was too
long for Manoa in his present condi-
from a fall of last week.
Three Cornered Match Race between
Damon, Giles and King to go to first

mendous interest in this number and
the starters were cheered Justify as

as the winner and his fine perfor-
nance justified the predictions of his

with Giles second and Damon third
both times. The finish OF the first heat
was a decidedly pretty battle, King
winning by inches only. In the second
King had it pretty much his own way,
as Giles was watching Damon and
Damon was not riding in form at all.
1t was sprinted as they never have
before. The time was 2:21 and 2:2O.
The best time for the distance before
was 2:21. Both heats were paced by

TwO-thirds of a Mile Professional
Handicap-This was a grand rush af-
fair with several interesting features.
Jones was scratch man. Martin had
20 yards, Manoa 40, Whitman so, Syl-
vester 70 and Jackson 80. The Ions
leave men bounded away at top speed.

evidently waiting for Jones to come
up. The way Jones did come up waI
beautiful to behold and was a surprise
TO Martin. Jones passed Martin as
though Martin had been anchored and
went right on till he was with the
bunch in the lead. The leave men,
however, gave Jones no rest. Martin
had lost so much at the start that he
was not at any time seriously in the
event. Jackson showed up wonderful
ly we'll in the finish. coming homo
right behind Manoa and Jones. ManOd
made first in grand style, with Jones
fighting desperately. The first jump
had spoiled Jones chances. With
Whitman, Sylvester and Martin it was
a case of also rams" The time was
1:27 and the spectators applauded for
five minutes. This makes another
score to settle On the track between
Jones, Manoa and Martin.
