victory for the roam mare Eva w. owne'
by Andrews & Morrow Of Norway. Thi
mare 10 very handsome and pure gait
ed PAGER and was not driven to the limi
Of her speed In this race "A nothing !
the class could push her. Some OF th
audience seemed to think that chang
OF drivers on Banker would improve tn
conditions, and succeeded In getting tn
change 10 the last heat, Ed Thayer benz
put on In place OF Woodbury., hut to al
appearances Banker could not catch Tia
roam mare. It will be fast horse tina
beats this roam PAGER With her friction
less gait and steady way Of going-that'
our opinion.

The two-year-old rice proved to b.
almost a repetition Of the slow-farc'
enacted In the three.year-0ld race o
Tuesday. There were three starters snt
two were run long way to get inside
the distance flag. The judges finished
the farce In one heat by declaring twt
distanced for running.

THURSDAYS RACES.
Thursdays races were among the best
ever seen on this track. They were dis
tinguished by close and exciting flo
ishes-in fact the finish between Lady
Goodwin and Queen wilkes In the first
heat Of the 2 30 class was one OF the
most exciting to be seen on any track.
The first class called Thursday fore
noon was the gentlems driving class
In which speed Is considered but does
not govern. There were some seven or
eight entries and the premiums were
awarded as follows:

The race for green horses was also
trottcd In the forenoon and witnessed by
a small audience though II was a very
interesting race. The finish OF the first
heat between Evelyn and Adelaide was
very close and exciting. The Robinson
d. mare, Adelaide, owned by B. +
Head OF North Buckfeld, appeared to
have plenty OF speed TO win the race but
she was unsteady and persisted In max
ing q bad break when about half way
down the home stretch In each heat that
lost her the race.

The first race called Thursday after
noon was the 30 class and II proved to
be the event OF the three days racing.
Six horses appeared for the start and
drew the following positions: Janet,
pole, Lady Goodwin, I'd, BABY S.. 81,
Hector Boone, 4th, Pullman, 9Th, Queen
Wilkes, 9th. A good deal OF scoring
was required but when the word came
the heat soon developed into hot con-
test between Lady Goodwin and Queen
wilkes. The game daughter OF Mes
sengcr wilkes pushed to the pole but
was unable to shake off the chestnut
mare from Wayne and the contest was a
hot one, the two mares swung into the
home stretch with Queen Wilkes on the
pole and about length In the lead.
Then the driver OF Lady Goodwin shook
the little mare out and gave the audience
a finish such IL seldom seen on any track;
steadily she gained on the Wilkes mare,
both horses being driven under the whip
and TO their utmost speed until the wire
was reached and the game little Lazy
Goodwin by her strenuous effort passed
her nose under just trihe ahead. Then
the applause rang long and loud from
the grand stand. II was one OF those
finishes where everybody holds their
breath rs the horses approach the wire
and then whsck each other over the head
with umbrellas when the supreme mo-
ment arrives. Queer stuff, this human
nature, when 1t gets excited at horse
race.
The second heat developed two hot
first being between Lady
Goodwin and Queen Wilkes for first
place while back few rods Janet and
Baby s. were fighting an equally hot
battle for third place. Lady Goodwin
lost the pole BY break In the second
hest and failed to recover 1t during the
race, though she seemed at times TO De
the speedier horse.

The second race Of the afternoon was
the three.minute class 10 which 1t was a
foregoue conclusion that the Buckfeld
stallion Warick. owned by DR.. j. {.
Caldwell, would be an easy winner and
he proved It. Warick Is one Of the most
steady going trotters that ever saw
track There Is no foolishness In his
mike up-never 8 break nor skip. The
little Robinson ID. horse owned BY
Jimmie" Thompson and pilOted In an
able manner by II G.. Fletcher OF South
Paris, made good showing in this race.
This horse has been trained by MIR.
Fletcher and has improved wonderfully
In speed.
