The races at Agricultural park were well
attended yesterday. but the days sport
was marred, as on the day before, by a
wrangle between Judge Lewis Thorne and
, Driver w. G. Durfee.
The quarrel yesterday resulted In Dur
fees being fined s75 and ruled off the track
While not the appointed presiding judge,
Mr.. Thorne has acted as such during the
present meeting, and some of his rulings
have met with decided opposition by horse
men. Judge Brooks, the presiding judge,
has apparently acquiesced IN the rulings
made by Mr.. Thorne, by which. unques-
tionably, considerable feeling has been en-
gendered.
The crowd In attendance yesterday was
what would be termed on the eastern
tidChS dS SWtll. mere were amy nUInDer
Of notables out among whom were the
ladies and gentlemen Of the Sidney Drew
company, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Milton
Royle and various local celebrities in the
theatrical profession.
The politicians were also out in force with
Their admirers and friends, and not little
Of the campaign fund uncontrolled by the
purity of elections committee was dis
tributed.
The track was fast and the weather good,
the day being cool and cloudy.
The Special Race
The first race called was the special race
with six entries. Juliet d. driven by Dur
fee, was a hot favorte in the betting with
Don and Bernard equal as second choice
In the first heat the horses were sent away
on even terms. Juhet took the lead and
was never headed, the only horse near her
being Nutwall. who moved up in the
stretch and pushed the winner.
The second heat was a repetition Of the
FIRST, Juliet ID. getting away cn even terms
and keeping the lead. At the half Bernard
forged ahead and Don followed in 1t was
see-saw between them to the stretch,
when Bernard got away and finished Sec
ond.
IL was eNpeCteu tudI JuEet -. WOuIu axe
the third heat as easily as she had cap
tured the other two. In the books juliet d.
sold at to and in the field books, with
all the other entries against her. Bernard
brought to l and Don sold at the same
figure, with the other entries at from u to
15 to l.
What the public did not know Durfee
the driver Of Juliet did, namely, that tho
horse had s'ray, 81 lar
was swelling. Durfee saved his horse as
much as possible. In the start Billy
Baker took the lead and held It to the
quarter. with Don nd juliet d. close on his
wheel At the half Don took the lead
with Baker second and Juliet d. third, the
other horses trailing. AT the turn into the
stretch Juliet d. took the lead by half a
length, with Don second, Billy Baker and
Bernard trailing Juliet d. held her own
until within two lengths of the wire, COM
ing under the whip. AT this point Don
forged ahead and won by a nose, with
Juliet ID. second. Billy Baker third, two
lengths away, and Bernard fourth
When the drivers returned to the stand to
dsmount, Durfee. the driver Of Juliet d.
was called into the stand. He was accused
Of laying up" the heat: In other words, Of
not having driven his horse to win. Smart
Ing under the rulings of Thursday, which
lost him the heat and race, when he drove
Osito, Durfee lost his temper and was
lined $50 fer the alleged pulling Of Juliet
ID. and for calling Judge Thorne names.
He was going down the steps from the
Judges stand, after being fined, when ne
used the Objectionable language, and Judge
Thorne immedta tely fined him $25 more for
It. Durfee turned on the steps and said:
Make 1t 500, you -" and Thorne
promptly ruled him off the track The
owner Of Juliet d. protested, but without
avail, and II. McGregor went up behind
the mare.
A Favorite's Win
The rule Of previous days, that of sand
wiching running race In between the
heats Of the trotting or pacing events,

ond and Smith and Gracias in the order
named. At the half Moroma led by two
lengths; Smyle second length ahead NJ
