 Yesterday at the Tempe race course the long looked for race came to pass It was the greatest event of the kind that has taken place in this vicinity this season. The race was between Dan Cleinmans Fox and Col Roundtree's Ally, Easter" both being 3-year-olds. There was a large and interested crowd to witness the race and to take in a few dollars on the side if their judgment proved wise. At the time the crowd began to arrive heavy betting started even. But when the horses came on the track and more Kleinman money began to arrive Fox became the favorite and odds on him began to advance until they were to 1. and not enough Easter" money at those odds could be had. Both horses seemed to be in fine condition and the hundreds of spectators anx- iousIy awaited the start. At last they were off. Easter soon got in the lead by about a neck and it looked for awhile as if the odds in a horse race didn't have all to do with the winning. But when they got to within 200 yards of the wire Fox seemed to renew his energies. and with a magnificent spurt came under the wire about ten feet ahead. Time. :50A. Fully 8, ,OOC changed hands, including several large bets beside the purse of s1,0OO.
