Second heat. 2:22. Notwithstanding
the fact that Violin had already been
beaten by Irish L2ssie, there were
people al the track who had so much
confidence in the qualities of the for

opinion on all sides that Violin would
certainly take the first heat but there
were not many people who were will

this they showed their wisdom. Irish
Lassie has proven herself the superior
OF Violin in three separate contests.

inst before the race, there was q
change Of mind. Sympathetic's Last

never been in a race here before and
was no match for that tried horse,
Sympathetic's Last. The race was a
very pretty one. the three horses COM
ing down the home stretch neck 20
