start with reserved strength Holdr1dge
drove Anna into the lead with NJ. NJ.

a good length behind her. when in apI

out. Holdridge gave Anna rein and she
showed a magnificent burst of speed,
dlifig vacant air between herself and
the audacious NJ NJ. D. At the three
quarters, however. NJ. NJ D. had got it
into his head to give Anna another
chase and he went into it hammer and
tongs. The home stretch was the battle
ground Anna, a-quiver with the knowl-
edge that NJ. NJ D. was pounding the
earth, nearer and nearer, stretched ten
don, filled lung and pumped blood as
few horses can. Side by side, their sharp
ears slanting on a line, their nostrils
fiery in the sunlight, Anna and NJ. NJ D.
rammed in, every second worth a year.

for the money. In the setting sun as she
came down the stretch. spread to her
speed, a bright waving body with a be-
wildering flash of leg and flutter OF
name, the people filed her lungs to give
her an ovation. N. n. D., however, was
again at it. AS they rounded into the
home stretch, NJ. NJ. D. swung to the
center of the track and like a creased
bullet in thin air sped on to victory.
Anna knew the danger. PluclHy. plum
full of grit, she threw herself into the
fight and went over the brink, off her
feet and foundering and NJ. NJ. D., who
had snatched triumph from her hoofs
by foot in the first heat, ended his
spectacular rush under the wire first.
Anna came second and Corporal Cook

half in III; the three quarters in 1:47 Ia.
Time, 2:19 IA.
In the third heat Anna shot out fast
and at the quarter was far ahead Of
her rivals At the half she had increas-
ed the lead and Corporal Cook began 70
close up on NJ. NJ. D. At the three-quar-
tiers Anna was still spinning a merry
clip and there was lots Of vacant real
estate in her rear. And then NJ. NJ. D.
began again his antics for finish, only
this time he had Corporal Cook at his
back and pushing him. 1t was soon a
race between the three and for mo-
ment twas a guess, for while NJ. NJ. D.
was coming like a prairie fire with a cy-
clone behind it, he had a long hole to
plug up. But he did plug 1t, and Anna
