means OF the size IL should have been. still
It was something of an Improvement upon
the preceding days and the management
looks for bigger attendance today and to-
morrow. This afternoon has been set aside
for the women again. and a good contin-
gent of the gentler sex will probably be
out. The card was a crackerjack. The O.
year-olds trotted like veterans, once going
below the 20 mark and once running a
dead heat. In the 2:24 class a half mile
in one. of the heats was covered in 1:0i
and the mile in little over 2:10. That's
pretty nearly flying for this class. And in
the 2:17 trot there was a field Of horses
at to go upon the grand circuit at any time.
There were four starters in the first
racc-the trot for 3-year-olds for a purse
of $500. They were: DIR. Spelman. b. g.,
Prodigal tMcAvoy), Smith C Reynolds, An
aconda. Mont; 1atan, CHI. g., Norcatur tBo-
cock). Palmer l.. Clark, st. Joseph, Mo-;
Black Robert, blk. h., II. McRoberts (Chand-
ler), Riverside Farm, Berlin, Wis; Ellen
Madison, b. T., James Madison (Ward), +.
Il. Ward, San Bernardino, Cal.
There was a hot finish to the first heat.
Bocock had Iatan at the head all the while
n couple of lengths to the better of DIR.
Spelman. At the turn into the stretch,
however, the Montana horse made a great
squirt and drew up to Iatan. Some fifty
feet from the wire both horses broke and
they both finished the mile up in the air
with not an inch difference between them
a clear dead heat. Ellen Madison was
third and Black Robert was distanced, but
by declaring it a dead heat the judges
allowed the latter to start again. Time:
2:20A.
Pretty Race from This Out.
Iatan started out like a winner in the
second heat, with DR.. Spelman a couple of
lengths behind. He broke at the quarter,
but recovered before the doctor overlook
him. At the half, however, he went up In
the air badly and before he was brought
back to earth again DR.. Spelman was a score
of lengths in the lead and kept the advan-
tage to the wire. Iatan nearly lost second
place, as he was pressed close by Ellen
Madison, and got the place by only a foot.
\ Time, 2:22.
One Of the prettiest races Of the day was
the third heat, which developed into a sur
prise. DR.. Spelman left the wire in the
lead and kept 1t to the half, where Iatan
came up to him by outtrotting him on the
turn. Iatan gradually crawled forward, but
In the meantime Ellen Madison, who looked
like a poor third all the time, was coming up
like a real race horse. On the turn into the
stretch the California horse overlook the
doctor and the latter stopped. Ellen Madi-

was running neck and neck with Iatan and
beat him out by not more than a nose. DR..
Spelman was third. Time: 2:19A.
1atan was stepping too hard in the three
heats already run and had to be drawn.
Black Robert was in the race only for warm
ing up and was also drawn. That left only
DR.. Spelman and Ellen Madison. The fourth
heat was easy for the former, who came
under the wire in a walk. The time was SC
punk, 2:25, that the judges almost declared
the heat off, and did declare all bets off.
The trouble arose over the soldering of tbs
driver Of Ellen Madison. Ward, who was
lacked up by the judges.
The final heat was won without trouble
by DR.. Spelman in the time Of 2:23A. The
first money went to DR.. Spelman, with ElleI
