NO CHARGE TODAY
Will be Made for Grand
Stand or Quarter Stretch.
TWO OF BEST RACES
Of Meeting are on the Pro-
gram for Today,
TWO OF BEST RACES

There will be two of the hottest races
today of the whole meeting and no charge
for the grand stand-the 2:2O pace and
the 2:28 trot Today will be as good OF
better than Tuesday, which is stated by
the horsemen unanimously to have been
as good as any Of the grand circuit races
Of this class. Every day of the meeting
has been good, but Monday, and today
will. outside Of the Patchen and Gentry
Special race, be high tide.
While the races yesterday were of the
best, even as good as will usually be
Seen down in the big circuits, the crowd
was not large. The association has de-
cided while the program is one Of the
best days racing Of the whole week, to
put the charge to 50 cents, with no charge
for the grand stand and none for the
quarter stretch. At this small admission
Wichita should turn out 1000 people to-
day. This will be one Of the big days if
the weather is good.
A woman with a kodak haunted the
grand stand all the afternoon trying to
get picture of Frank James. At the
call Of the second heat Of the three-min-
ute trot she got a snap Of the starters
stand, James facing her. She was so
well pleased that she left the grounds at
once. She made her boldest effort when
Mr.. James picked up Ed Toler's little
boy in a petting way and had the little
fellow ring for the PAGERS in the second
heat. Some one got in her way, how
ever, and she failed.
There were eight starters IN the three
minute pace, Minnie the Twister. Ella
GODDARD, Rushwood, Queen Of Kings. Sam
A, Nigmont Blackheart and Joe Bios
som. It was too big a field for the width
OF the track, but Starter A c. Jordan
got them in almost even order on the
Fourth score down and gave the word
They led away like a storm. Blackheart
was near the outside, but he angled in
at the quarter, crossing the field to the
pole. He led easily under the wire. Joe
Blossom and Ella Goddard fighting for
second. The heat was finished in the fol-
lowing order: Blackheart, first; Joe Bios
som, second, Ella Goddard, third; Queen
of Kings, fourth; Sam A, fifth: Rush
wood, sixth; Minnie the Twister, seventh;
Nigmont, eighth. Time 2:1G1a.

Blossom won; Blackheart, second; Ella
Goddard, third; Sam A, fourth: Nigmont.

The third heat was one Of the most ex-
citing Of the weeks races Rushwood
spun up from sixth place and led Joe
Blossom under the wire by a short head.
Blackheart came in third. Ella Goddard.
fourth; Nigmont, fifth and Sam A, sixth
Time, 2:151[.
Blackheart won the other two heats,

There were only four starters in the
2:20 trot Alverda Atkins. St. Justice. Ga
zelle and My Chance They came out Of

verda won easily in straight heats. the
best time being o:1S.

Nverda Atkins and thirty out OF rnirty-six

Graves drove Dick Hubbard to his mark
