Idolita the Favorite.
Ido'ita. the favorite in the betting,
was never in danger of losing the race
He led all the way in the first heat
Coming down the stretch, EcsIacy
challenged the leader, but broke fifty
feet from the wire and lost what looked
like a chance in the first honors of the
heat Crystalline broke at the start,
7 diGt4nEP0
In the second heat Ecstacy broke
again, this time at the quarter. lido
lita went out to the front and took the
wire between Rita E and Days colt,
My Trick, for second place. The Mon
tana colt closed up gap of twenty
lengths and came in only a half length
behind Rita E. This heat was slow, in
2:141s.
Again, in the third heat. Idolita cut
out the pace Ecstacy broke at the
half, but caught her gait and came
down the stretch neck and neck with
Rita L. and this time beat the latter to
the wire by a nose, in a furious drive
Oracle Onward was a close fourth,
with the others well UP. The time OF
this heat was :S31a, 1:06l2, 1879, 2:1419.
The 2:2O Pace.
The 2:2O pace, worth $4,000, was easy
money for the favorite, Robert Fltz-
simmons. In the third heat, Arbutas-
kan challenged Shade-On on the lase
turn for second money. They closed up
a gap of twenty lengths on Fftzslm-
mons and Shade-On nOsed out second
prize They forced Robert to do this
heat in 2:0SA which he did with great
ease.
The first heat of the third race. the
Central stake of $1,000, for PIP class
trotters. furnished the prettiest race OF
the meeting Coming into the stretch,
the field was well punched. with Cope
land, the favorite, on the pole. At the
last turn Altoka and Humboldt Maid
pulled out of the. bunch, followed by
Aragon K. The three raced down the
stretch side by side and finished noses
apart.
The three remaining heats went to Sir
Charles in slow time. Copeland broke
continually. and was unable to get in
side the money Mr.. Spellman gave the
crowd sensation in the third heat by
pulling out of the bunch at the half
and setting a clipping pace into the
stretch where Sir Charles headed him
and took away the purse.
Today's weather was perfect for rae
ing, perhaps a trifie too warm. In the
neighborhood of $4,000 people saw the
contests.
