finished to 1 o'clock today.
Starters in this race were Lizzie S.,
Aeroplane, Walnut B., Aiaby Bloss, Virgie
Truce, and Phyllis S. The time in this
pace was 2:1114 made by Lizzie S. in the
second heat.
''WeH this is hot racing" said Mr..
Jordon at the finish Of the second heat.
Nobody ever got a greater run for his
money on any race track in America"
Virgie Truce led out in the first heat
and was a length in the clear to the half
mile stretch when Walnut B. slid up to
him in easy strides and oozed by with
the even approach of a wooden man-in-
the-box puzzle at the seven-eighths mark.
Walnut B. Went under the wire good
first but Virgie Truce was close enough
to chew the tugs of the winner. Phyllis
followed third, Aeroplane, fourth; Baby
Bloss, fifth; Lizzie s., sixth. The second
heat was a complete somersault in the
finish order. Lizzie S. jumping from sixth
to first. Walnut B. followed a strong
second, Baby Boss third, Phyllias S.
fourth, Aeroplane, fourth and Virgie
Truce, the enthusiastic grey sixth. The
third heat was an exact repetition Of the
second except the time was 2:13 as against
2:114 in the second.
The farmers race, the creased tighten
ing trot was sandwiched in between
heats for the amazement of the specta-
tors. The horses were dubbed ''Humpy
the Bay" "Spikey," Breeze Fair"
clay colored animal and Zephyr the next.
Zephyr the Next who belonged to Mr..
Rcyse won the race, though everybody
conceded that Hum2y would have won
easily If he had not become insulted at
the boldl.ess of his competitors in daring
to switch HIM out Of his place as win
ner of the first heat. In all there were
nine heats done yesterday and all in less
than 2:16 There is no other proof need
ed for the claim that yesterday afternoon
was as good racing al the way through
as was ever seen in Kansas. That is to
say it held I'd.
