RACING.
Sport Was Good But
Judges Decision De-
traCted Somewhat
From the Sport.

The first days card of races at Wawaset
PARK yesterday afternoon presented lively
sport. There was large attendance, and
from many inLhe stand came complaint
of unfairness Of the judges in the stand.
This was at the start Of the second heas
OF the 2. 10 class. Cassie Fletcher had the
pole and Cora's Own the outside track.
Cora's Own was started some distaL CO
ahead of Cassie Fletcher and The mir was
thick with shouts Of Shame" Bah =
"Rottsn,' eSc. Bat Cassie Fletcher trot-
ted a fine race and finished first in the
heat.
Another instance of tho kind of deci-
sions rendered was in the finish of the
fifth heat of the 50 class. Sultana made
a bad start and fell some distance tack o.
the field. On the second half Sultana
made a bad break, but not according to
the general opinion, necessarily losing
break. Her driver brough. her up In fine
shape and made one of the prettiest hn-
ishes of the day, comingi In Mt second p!a'
barely All instant behind Bellwood. Sui.
tana was given sixth place by The judges,
much to the disgust of the spectators.
Her driver made an indignant protest.
saying that such decision was hlghWay
robbery, This heat was the more excit-
ing, as Bellwood and Sunrise had eac'
won two heats, and the fifth was the de-
Gliding heat.

was an accident in the fourth heat. In
