The card at the Hamline track yester-
day afternoon was fairly good one, and
before the day was over some exciting
racing was witnessed.
IN the opening event, the 2:45 trotting,
the first heat was covered by Maud Marie
in 2:42A, but the mare subsequently re-
deemed herself by stepping the last AMI
winning heat i'll 2:24A.
The PAGERS furnished the best sporr
and some close finishes were seen, one Of
them in 2:1014. The runners covered them
selves with glory, and treated the specta-
tors to some racing that was clearly for
blood.
The afternoon programme was rendered
more enjoyable by a parade from South
St Paul stock yards, and another by the
horses and live stock exhibited on the
grounds.
2:45 TROTTING, PURSE s, 0CO.
The three entries came out and were
started sharp on scheduled time. Maud
Marie led every step of the tedious jour-
ney around the track. and finished IN
2:4334, the slowest heat Of the meet Gale
was a good second, and Lord Dillon
brought up the rear The judges an
nounced that with the consent of the
drivers they had agreed to waive the dis
lance regulation in this evert, all thu
starters being three-year-oId colts.
In the second heat Gale managed to get
around in 2:30 and won, pulled to a walk,
with Maud Marie ten or fifteen lengths
behind. Lord Dillon took advantage OF
the agreement to waive the distance rule
and finished a sixteenth of a mile away:
having no chance to win, and being GER
tain of third money. his driver evidently
did not wish to force matters. Gale led
all the way, and could have made the
journey five or six seconds faster.
The third heat was exciting enough SO
far as the finish was concerned, for Gale
and Maud Marie were SO close that many
of the spectators were Of the opinion that
the former had won The. judges, how
ever, decided that Maud Marie went by
IN the lead. There We're not six inches
between the two, at the most, and Lord
Dillon was a very close third. He got
the money just the same, for merely
covering the distance. The time was 2:2SA.
Maud Marie. by beating Gale in the
fourth heat, won the money. It was
very close between the two, and the
former won by about a length in 2:24A
Lord Dillon, of course, was away behind

After the slow exhibition by the
brothers, the 2:17 pacing event was a
welcome change, and as all the carded
entries started some good racing was an

nine Intellectual scores the horses got
away Theresa Wilkes and Reno NJ took
the lead. followed by Belle Acton and
O'Grady. This order remained unchang-
ed until the stretch was reached when
Dunton Oh SO and E. w. moved up. The

the leaders, but the former. pacing fast,
soon crept up to Theresa Wilkes and fifty

he liked in 2:11A. Reno M. was third,
a length behind the Wilkes mare
The second heat showed prettier racing
and faster time. Dunton Oh SO had the
pole and was not once headed Theresa
Wilkes was second, and Reno M, third
Belle Acton made pretty start near the
half mile post and for a moment appeared
to have a chance of getting the lead It
was a momentary hope, though, for she
fell back again and could not finish in
better than sixth place. Country Girl
did better in this heat and pulled up in
fourth place. Although Dunton Oh So
did. not appear to exert himself at all, he
came by the judges stand in 2:104, just
one second faster than in the first heat.
Dunton easily led the field around in
the last heat in 2:11M. Reno M beat the
Wilkes mare for the place and O'Grady
was fourth. The time was 2:11% The
race was not particularly interesting, as
the leaders outcassed the rest of the
field, making the result a foregone con-
clusion. The time of the last heat was
2:11%, and second money was won by
Theresa Wilkes, Reno NJ getting third.
RUNNING EVENTS.
The running races were the best seen
during the week. The entries were furn-
ished by South st. Paul owners, and the
boys all rode desperately in earnest to
win the small purses hung up.
The first, a half mile dash, brought out
five entries, and Big Sandy was the win
ner, after lying behind most of the way.
Hot Stuff looked as though he would not
belle his name, but Big Sandy had
enough left to come through and win
out in the last few jumps South Da-
kota was third. The time as"61A," not
very fast to be sure, but the racing was
genuine and close.
The second event, also a half mile dash
was captured by a horse rejoicing in the
lengthy name of Walk up the Hill" He
was almost last at the quarter, but under
the whip he gamely walked up and
went by the wire winner in one minute
fiat. Summarizes:
