the pacing and trotting heats but aside
from this there were no accidents. The
attendance was probably 1900 The state
ment was made from the starters stand
that the attendance from Wichita had
been thin every day and that it was out
side people who were supporting the
races. This was cheered.

second; Miss Peterson, third; L. II. K,
fourth
