declared the winner. She is
gaining quite a reputation.
The trotting and pacing
match between the H. M. Clark
and H B. Mudd horses was a
warm number, one that caused
the hot blood to surge through
the collar and the dollars to GO
to the stake holder. They lin
ed up and the starters got them
off in good shape with the
Mudd PAGER next the turf and
the little bay trottcr Oh the out
side. Oh my, what a burst of
speed as they fewjbeneath the
wires with Mudd in the lead.
Before the first eighth was
reached the little bay began to
close and that ratified the Mudd
horse and threw him into a bad
run around the track. The
Clark horse was good clean
worker. Almost the same
thing happened in the second
heat, which made the bay an
easy winner of the $50.

The exhibition by John Hook

Of fine horses. 1t was an eX-

may yield over a sensible horse,
of how he may mould or con
troll his actions at will.
The trotting and pacing race
between the little bay H. M.

Mudd horses was a decidedly
warm match and yet it was
plainly seen after the first 10C
yards that the Mudd horse was
