SANTA ROSA, Aug. 19.-The biggest
crowd Of the week attended the last days
races of the meeting at Pierce Brothers
track this afternoon. Six hundred per-
sons came down from Ukiah on an eXcur-
sion train. and other towns to the north

grandstand and betting field were thickly
populated with enthusiasts. The day was
pleasant and the track in good condition.
The first race was the z:30 class trot,
best three in five, for a purse of $1,000 A
great deal of interest centered in this
event from the fact that McGregor &S
Hockins bay mare Eleanor Ann, the local
equine which made such a splendid show
ing on the first day, was scheduled to ap-
pear again. There were entered Juan
Chico, Eleanor Ann, Dos Minutes, Ruby
n, Lottie Parks and Psyche. The latter
sold favorite all the way through.
In the first heat Ruby n had the pole
and she was first at the quarter, passing
the pole in :S5. From there on Lottie
Parks had the lead, reaching the half in
1:091a. The drive down the stretch was
redhot between Ruby N and Lottie Parks,
but the Crowley mare reached the wire
first by half neck, scoring in 2:1912. The
horses were sent off in the second heat
lengths behind, much to the disgust of her
many admirers. The entire course was a
series of successive surprises, but Psyche
came under the wire several lengths
ahead of everything else, and Eleanor
Ann was second. In this heat Lottie
Parks was distanced, and as Dos Minutes
had been shut out in the first, only four
horses started in the third heat. The
start was good and Psyche soon took the

fell back to third place, the Santa Rosa
mare taking the lead. Coming down the
stretch Psyche forges ahead and won the
heat from the local favorite by length
in 2:19. In the fourth heat Psyche got off
in the lead, with Eleanor Ann a close sec
ond, but before reaching the quarter pole
the Spreckels mare broke and fell to the
rear AT the half Eleanor Ann had the
lead by four lengths, but about that time
Psyche began to close up. Spreckels' en-
try and the local mare came down the
stretch neck and neck. Psyche broke
within ten feet of the wire and the heat
went to Eleanor Ann in 2:2012, Psyche
having been set back for repeated break
ing. In the fifth heat the horses got Off
well punched, Psyche leading slightly. AT
the quarter she was bringing up the rear
of the procession and Eleanor Ann was
away ahead. AT the half the mare that
carried the money and the one that had
the friends were neck and meek. FROM
there on Psyche led, winning Dy SeVefdl
lengths in 2:174 with Eleanor Ann sec
ond Psyche took first money, Eleanor,
Ann second Ruby n third, and Juan
Chico saved his entrance fee.

off causing some delay. While scoring
again Primrose fell just opposite the
grand stand, giving Driver Tryon nasty
falI. Horse and sulky rolled completely
over him. but Tryon was game and
jumped up and caught the mare as she
scrambled to her feet: Physicians were
called for and the unfortunate man was
carried TO the stable. Another driver was
put up and the scoring continued. An
examination showed that Tryon's collar
bone was broken, one END protrudInS
through the flesh. The shoulder was dis

lowed it up by winning the third in 2:14
The third and last race was the three

around. She came under the wire in a

heat was between Lena A and Miss Bar
