Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-07-27
JOHNNY 3
Was tho Star Actor at Yesterdays
Races.

whether or not it was possible to get
good racing in Barre, but those who
we're present yesterday went home
with the fact fully impressed upon
their minds that the possibility was a
fact. There we're only.two races but
they were of such nature that those
present were very much pleased with
them.
The first race was the 2.35, and, al
though Ethan Wilkes won handily he
did not have it all his own way, as the
other horse kept right with him all
through. In the third heat of this
race willie 'Bculah," driven by +. +.
Grey, was turning at the upper end
for the second time she tripped in
some way and turned complete SOM
crsaut, landing on her side and throw
ing the driver through the air. Both
were lucky, as neither received any
injury.
The second race was holly con-
tested one and was for horses eligible
to the 20 class. Many admirers of
QUO NadiS were SO certain of his win
ming that they backed him against
the field This was, one of the times
that they we're wrong, as he only won
the first heat "Jonny b." owned and
driven by NJ. Curtis of Montreal, TAX
ing the next three heats. Miss billiard
showed up well in this race, as also
did Snsan and Zephyr but they were
not fast enough for first money.
Johnny B" is fast horse and on
a hard track can do better time than
he did yesterday, SO that the back
ers of "Quo Nadis" should not feel
sore. The driver Of QUO Vadis, for
his owner, asked the judges to have
the opposing horse identified. No pro-
test was entered against Johnny B, y
but they waited until the race was all
over and asked for identification. If
a protest is not proven the party max
ing the protest is fined, but this does
not happen in case where they ask
for Identification, but it puts Mr.. Cur
tbs to the same amount of trouble.
Mr.. Curtis was brought before the
Judges and proved that the horse was
"Johnny b." without doubt but the
Judges Wishing to have everything in
regular form asked the proprietor OF
the park to send first money to the
secretary of the racing association at
Hartford, Conn: to be held there un.
til Identification papers signed by a
power of attorney are received by
him. Mr.. Curtis will race his horse
today in the 2.29 class.
