The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-10-16

! applauded his victory. The heat was
one of the prettiest races of the day,
| the five horses going to the three
| quarters pole in a bunch, with May
Smith leading by half length from
| Miltonia Casque was in pocket be-
| hind the leaders, and it looked as II ne
would have to stay there, but at the
three-quarters Miltonia made a break
and Casque took advantage OF 1T TO get
up by May Smiths side. His long, easy
strides covered a lot of ground ana
he cut down the favorite's lead until
he was on even terms with her at the
opening of the stretch. Porter swung
his whip vigorously on May Smith but
Casoue's great stride was doing the
| business and at the wire he showed a
length in front, in 2:22h. Farrar
made a protest to the judges against
Richardson, claiming he carried Mil
tonia out to her break. The judges
would not allow it, and gave the neat
to Casque, which decision was received
with applause.
Porter drove May Smith with his
voice more than he did with whip ard
reins in the third heat and he sent
Casaue to a couple of breaks that cost
him the heat, although he went ull-
der the wire first with two lengths tot
spare. in 2:2215 Casque was never
headed during the mile, but the judges
set MIN BACK Tor running
His first break was on the upper turn
but Richardson got him on his feet
after a half dozen jumps and ne
maintained his lead the field coming
down for the half in bunch. There
was no change in the position in the
second half, but in the last furlong
Porter yelled like an Indian and piled
the whip for all he was worth. Fifty
yards from the wire his shouting sent |
Casque into the air but Richardson got
the leader going steadily and went
under the wire two lengths to the front
but the judges set him back to second
place for his breaks and warned Por-
ter to keep his mouth closed in the
next heat. The decision of the judges
this time was received with a storm Of
Kisses.
Richardson played a waiting game
with Casque in the fourth heat and he
carried May Smith to a break that cost ,
her the place in the stretch He kept
Casque just in the rear of May Smiths
sulky to the, last turn and then pulled |
out to do business. His long strides
were eating up her lead step by step
until Is yards from the wire when she |
went into the air and the Whitinsville
horse beat her easily for the mile, in
2:24
The fifth heat was the grandest race !
of the day and one of the best seen at
the track this year, and CaSque won
it, A blanket might have covered the
field throughout the mile and the two
rivals for first place trotted almost
nose and nose the entire distance. At
the word Porter let out with May
Smith to do Casque but he met every
squirt and trotted on even terms with
her to the quarters. Here he
went up to a losing break and Speed
well trotted into second place. Rich
ardson had come wide around the last
turn with Casque but the big fellow
had the speed and the crowd held its
breath during the race to the wire. Por-
ter was lashing May Smith but Rich
ardson guided the Whitinsville horse to
a win and beat her by a head at the
wi-e in 2:23k-
THE 1923 PACE.
The last race called was the 2:29
pace, in which there were eight Start
ers, with Harry. the favOrite. and
he has two heats to his credit but there
is a sleeper in the bunch in an un-
named black. son of Adoolio. He is
a bad actor and it is hard to get him
away but when he once gets going he
is a whirlwind. In both heats he has
been left at the post and did not get
under way until the other seven had
reached the bend. With this ire
mundous handicap he moved like a
flash and in the second mile he was up
with the singers in third place when he
