EthcIbert Proves Too speedy
ut the Finish.

DETROIT, July 1s.-shade-on, a five
yoar-old bay horse from Nebraska, won
first money today in the $4,000 amt OF
Commerce pacing stake. The Nebraska
horse was not heavily backed by the crowd,
with the exception Of the western conting-
ont, who had banked on him against the
field. Shade-On did not equal his record of
2:10, made last week at Peoria, but he
showed good staying qualities through four
exciting heats. Coney, the well backed ia
vorite, made a splendid appearance on the
track and kept near the front all through
the race, except in the second heat, when
he went up in the air badly when passed by
shade-on, although he had led the field cas-
lily for three-quarters of a mile. During the
scoring for the first heat he reared and col
lided with Fire Gilt, n secondary favorlte,
overturning both sulkies, but the horses and
drivers escaped injury. Coney was a very
easy winner of the first heat, but for Shade
On's squirt and Coney's nervousness the
second would have been a similar procession.
Maude Emperor made a strong play for
the third heat, but she broke in the home
stretch, during a rush by Shade-On Car
melita and Coney, who finished in that order.
shade-On was whipped all the way dow
the stretch in the last heat. Coney had led
nearly all the mile, but Shade-On got under
the wire nearly a neck ahead of the Califor-
mia gelding. Driver Kay was presented with
an immense bouquet which he carried oft
past n crowd of 5000 cheering spectators.
Spurol, tue %fayorite. won the 2:14 trot in
straight heats. Ellert made two splendid
spurts and got third money.
The 2:09 pace and 2:17 trot were two in
three events. William Nc, the winner, got
his two heats without trouble, Kitty r., the
f%avorite, being third.
Hazel Ridge, a Michigan horse, won first
and third heats Of the 2:17. trot, but was
beaten In the second by Derby Lass, who
was whipped to a close finish.
The Crosse Point track Is in superb con-
dition after a dreary succession of rainy
days. The crowd was one of the largest
ever seen at the Blue Ribbon races.
