ers aud It was about $50 when Mr. Ben
Bassctt, who was driving the Giidiugs
mare, and Mr. A. A. Hacker. who was driv.
ing the Mayfeld marc, came 30 the post
IN the tosS-up for position Hacker won
the pole. The Gidd!ngs horse had trihe
the best Of the start but by the time they
reached the eighth the MayAold mare had
pulled out nearly a length and the Gid
dlngs mare broke, and before she could
catch there was such stretch Of daylight
between them that though she worked
hard she could never close up the gap, and
the May6eld mare came IN some distance
ahead Time 1:2o Distance, half milc.
The second heat was devoid OF interest be-
fore the start as The Nlayheld mare was
now away Wonder tho favorite, and as they
came 10 the post there was no trouble
about tho start and for the second time
the flag fell with the animals neck and
neck. Again NJ the eighth the Giddings
mare broke aud gave the Mayneld mare
considerable lead, but the Giddings mare
seemed TO recover very quickly this time,
and with n splendid burst Of speed closed
Up the gap and passed the Magheld mare
So far chat she lost her head and the race,
for she was never able to get down 20 work
at gait that would overcome the lead
gained Time 1901 There was consid-
cradle delay in getting the horses OF for
the third heat and the favorite Went Down
several points, causing the placing Of Il
number Of bets When finally the flag fell
with the horses even the Mayded mare
struck good steady stride thar was sim
ply beyond the capacity of the GiddIngs
horse and very soon she took the pole and
again the Glddings mare broke and the
Mayheld mare was going at a pace that
opened Up too wide n gap between them
for IL ever to be closed and she came ia
In 20, winning the best two In three
heats. Between the second and third heat
