=. gray mare which wass very speedy
In former years but now blind as a bat;
George w. Ferguson's Bud and sebulia
e. belonging to George Stone, were en-
tered. From the scoring the crowd im-s
mediately picked Miss Ingel az vim
ner and such she proved to be, showing
by far the most speed of any in the
bunch. George Stones mare, recent
purchase, was not slow either, and
showed the Edwards mare run for her
money. Miss Ingel got away poorly in
the first heat, but closed the gap up be-
fore the horses got we'll on their feet.
She kept a pretty lead, and broke but
once on the stretch, gaining her feet
again before the wire was reached. Sc
bulia G finished second; Pat, third; Bird
F, fourth and Bud, fifth. Time, 1:l51a.
Sebula G won the second heat. Miss
Ingel losing her feet on account Of a
foul by Bird when the horses got
away. Mr.. Edwards was unable to get
his mare quieted down, and she lost all
the way around, finishing last. Bud
finished second; Pat, third and on ac-.
count of the foul Miss Ingel was set
UP to fourth place and Bird F back to
fifth. The TING was 1:21.
In the third heat Miss Ingel had
everything her own way and paced as
steadily as clock work over the entire
course. She got good start at the!
wire. and kept it, finishing a couple Of
lengths ahead of Sebulia G. Bird F SEE
cured third place; Bud, fourth and Pat,
fifth. Time. 1:14A. This gave Miss
Ingel first money; Sebulia G, second and
Bud third.

away in such poor shape that the 9th
erss We're all greatly in the lead May
Banks started out like shot from a
gun. and was an easy victory, winning
the race In :56 flat. Hallam closed up the
big gap he lost in starting, and finished
second; DIR. JOY, third; Snip Morgan
fourth, and Queen Slowfoot fifth.
THE HOSE RACES.
The hose races created no small
amount of Interest, owing to the fact
that nearly all of the city firemen We're
on the grounds. The races were 10l
yards, without couplings The frs. one
lcalled was between the Hopes and the
| AnAons, but a false start caused the
lAnsons to make the run alone. After d
brief rest another start was made. re-
sulting in the Hopes winning by abou,
1 five feet. The time wasM IA flat The
Ansons made an excellent run, consid-
lering that they had spent considerable
energy in the preceding trip.
The Nibbeys and the Alertsr ran very
lsclose race, the latter team winning by
about foot. The time was exactly the
same as in the previous race. The

tween the Riverssand the fire police, and
was Won by the Rivers ina:14 3-5.
