THE RACES:
The first to be completed was the trot,
three minute class, in which four entered
Crow, the favorite took the lead at the
beginning of each heat and won off the
reel Leo Wilkes, the pole horse, was
second, with Marie third, all finishing
the heats in position named. Silver Belle
was distanced in the first heat. The mare
although the long shot, was looked upon
as having chance, but repeated breaks
at the start put her out of the race
In the second running race, Lucette led
the field in two heats. She was never in
any danger, leaving a Struggling bunch
in the rear. War Song, who was greatly
favored at the beginning of the race, was
luckily to finish second. Leonidas filled
i'll at third. Fisher, Norford, Forrest and
Galmer were all distanced i'm the first
heat.
The third event, IA three quarter mile
dash, Went to the favorite, Vengeance,
He was the real thing of the day for the
talent, winning first money. his rival
Carrie, gave him a run for the money,
however, finishing a head behind the
leader. The Tory, looked upon hav-
ing peep-in, finished third. The re-
mainder of the field struggled in with
Royal Rover leading.
A steeplechase over a two-and- one half
mile course closed the sport for the day.
This time the good thing went wrong.
Floraline. heavily backed to win, refused
at the first hurdle, and repeated the trick
four or five times at the second jump. By
this time the mare was hopelessly out of
the chase and withdrew. Outside of the
failure Of Floraline to take the jumps
the race was beautiful one, and will
long he remembered by those who wit
messed it. 1t was nip and tuck from be-
