lhree Days, Aeetlng.
II the FORM displayed this morn
ing counts for anything the race meet
ing which begins tomorrow at Finkle's
park will break all previous records
for Marshalltown. The number and
high class Of the horses at the track
entered in the various events give evi-
idence that the racing at the present
meeting will surpass anything of the
sort ever offered here to horse and
speed lovers. There are plenty OF
horses in the stalls to embarrass the
starter should they all conclude to go.
and very fortunately for the race go-
sers the entries are SO evenly matched
as to form and speed that only one
race is conceded toibe at the mercy of
any particular horse. This is the free
FOR all, which good judges give to Roy
the Kid in straight heats
The fair grounds presented an ex-
tremely animated and lively appear
ance this morning. It was typical
race course scene Out on the track
dozens Of flying horses whirled about
the track in the final work outs which
precede the day OF actual, racing.
Numbers Of rail birds perched along
the fences or in the grand stand syly
swapping the stop-watches on the
horses speeding past. Crowds of stable
boys and swipes fringed the track.

their favorites or sat before the stalls

past races or settling conclusively the
of thesvarious privileges were busily at
work preparing booths in expectation
tomorrow's crowd.
The three minute trot. the 2:2O pace
and running dash of five-eights of
mile take place tomorrow. Most Of the
horses in this race have never been
tried against each other and no one
seems to have a winner picked. II
should prove great race to look at.
Mae F., The Admiral, Ansetita and
Axineer are very likely to keep the
money among Them with Mae E prob
ably first. Frank X is said to be able
to trot four heats better than 80 and
may get place. Ansetita, pure
gated and speedy bay mare. may make
astrong bid for first money.
The 1920 pace should be the best race
of the entire circuit Prosperity,
q. RI. Cap Medium. Judge Flash.
Reaver and Templeton all after first
place and all evenly matched in speed,
this race should furnish enough excite
ment and split heats for days racing.
Blue Sign is speedy bur soft at present
and should not get a heat. Wanda is
ttouted to be equal to four heats with
an average of 2:15, which If true will
put her in the first flight. Judge Flash
will probably take heat First place
would seem to lie between Prosperity
and Q. r. q, with8tke chances some
what in favor of Q. r. e.. game and
consistent campaigner. Templeton.. a
handsome brown mare, has sufficient
speed to keep any Of them guessing,
but looks short of work. The 20 pace
should be a great horse race and those
who enjoy the sport should not miss
seeing the struggle.
/ The 70 trot and the 40 pace each
have eleven entries and the same un-
certainty prevails as to the winner. In
the trot May Alcott, Lord Elmore and
Cleora are perhaps best known by
their erformances. The pace is another
Of the uncertainties. A half-mile run
ming race will finish Wednesdays

The 40 trot and the free for ali pace
take place on Thursday. The track

will certainly he lowered If the track is
in good condition. Roy the Kid is the
fastest horse ever entered al the
track, while any one Of the other en-
tries is able to drive him out in better
than :13 Emmett H. and Louisa NJ. are
reasonable choices for second place,
first being unanimously conceded to
Roy who, it will be remem bered, drove
lsearchlight out at Dubuque in :O4A.
The running race of one mile on this
day Will also offer excellent sport.
Prairie King. Frisco Ben. Miss Cham
bers, Montana Gent. Libretto and La
Quoise will certainly start and any
one Of the six is liable to get home
first. Some experts figure them to
finish with Prairie King first; others
favor LaQuoise. This will be any ones
race and will be likely to furnish new
track record.
