THE JUMPERS.
The half mile and repeat race, with
five starters. proved an attraction we'll
worth seeing. and gave the crowd a
chance to get quick action on its,
money. Harry Bennett, the long, lank
horse which took the half mile on.

poor start with the bunch on the first
get away and gave up the honors to
Queen L.. a pretty little Ashland, Neb.,
mare. He won the next two heats,
however, running the last With Queen
L. only. The heats were very ia st, the
fastest in fact that have ever been run
consecutively on an Iowa half mile
track, 80 fiat being the record for the
first two and Isl for the third
