THE RACES
We're the Best of the Witnessed by
an Immense Crowd

Were the Best OF the Week Witnessed by
an Immense Crowd.
The speed events were the best of the
week.. The shower which fell about
noon settled the dust. and made the
track heavy during the early part of
the afternoon, but when the sun came
cut, the mud was dried up, and the
course was in excellent shape. The
crowd was immense. 1t was one of the
biggest days in the history Of the State
Fair Association. The grand stand
and quarter stretch were crowded, and
there was frings of humanity on the
fence all oaround the course.
= The hippodrome features included
jockey races, a race between a running
horse with jockey and a riderless
horse, Roman chariot and hound races.
They were very interesting.
The 2:17 pace, postponed from Tues
day, was finished before the pro-
gramme for the afternoon was taken
up and in spite of the delay occasioned
by the storm, only one race was I'M
finished. Jean Lee and ]. w. P. had
each taken two heats in the 2:17 pace,
and it was the judgment of the betting
fraternity that when the horses came
on the track fresh yesterday afternoon,
Jean Lee would win. This proved to
be correct. J. w. P. was the pole horse
but after several Intellectual attempts,
got bad start, breaking just after
passing the wire Jean Lee shot to the
front, took the pole, and gradually in
creased her lead to half a dozen
lengths at the half. After this there
was nothing to it. Summary:
