The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-10-18

Her terrific pace for the first three
quarters had her gone, and in the race
to the wire the two stations nosed her
out, with Laconda leading, in 2:l3A.
Less than a length separated the three
leaders, whose sulkies Tapped each oth-
er at the finish.
The second heat was a horse race
from wire to wire, but Laconda got
there in 2151a, which was remarkable
performance, considering the sloppy
condition of the track. The word was
no sooner given than Biggs urged Bed
worth. Jr., to his limit to drive Lacon-
da off his feet. On the back stretch
Bedworths head and neck showed to
the front, but in rounding the upper
turn LAconda got back his lead and
came down for the half head in
front. both drivers yelling like Indians.
Around the lower turn they went side
by side, and going up the back stretch
for the second time, Biggs began TO ply
his whip on Bedworth, Jr., while
Broadbine was driving Laconda easily.
1t was seen that Bedworth was all in,
and when VIM. I. came up to challenge
him for the place he could not respond
and had to content himself with third
place. VIM. l. tried to get by Laconda
in the race to the wire, but the favorite
had a little left and beat him at the
wire by a length, in 21515. If the track
was as good as it had been in the first
heat this mark would be lowered at
least three seconds.
Iaconda finished the race in the third
heat but Broadbine threw scare into
his hackers by loafing in the first halt
When the word was given Bedworth,
Jr went to the front with great
squirt and brought Gloria up with him
into second place. Laconda dropped to
the rear four lengths to the bad and
his admirers groaned as the quartet
went I'D the back stretch with the IA
yorite trailing the bunch. They came
down for the half with Bedworth Jr-,
still leading and going strong and Clio
ria in second On the back stretch,
Broadbine made his drive with Lacon-
da and drew up on the bunch as if they
we're tied. He went around them on
the turn and entered the home stretch
in the lead and come down to the wire
with a length to spare from Bedworth.
Jr., in 2.161e.
THE 2:19 TROT.
NV Chance was picked to win the 2:19
trot and he did although his young
driver. Crowley. was up against
tough proposition. The older reins-
men like Fox. Forshner and Swan,
tried hard to beat him and came up
one after the other with their horses 10
carry him into the air, but he guided
NV Chance with a steady hand and
reeIed off three winning miles. al
though in the second S. s. B. did sue
coed in getting off his stride. The
little chestnut. however, was an honest
trotter and got back on his feet quickly
and did not make another skip while
the others did more or less jumping
throughout the race.
The first heat was little more than a
work out for My Chance. Parker G
had the pole but at the word My
Chance trotted to The front with S. S.
B. in second place and Octo third. That
was the order for the mile as S. s. B.
could get no nearer My Chance
than his sulky wheel and the favorite
finished at a jog in the slow time Of
2:251z
The second heat was a grand race
between Ny Chance and S. S. B. who
went side by side for the entire mile
in 2:251h. Ny Chance winning by half
