CT. W. TAKES BIG PURSE
SURPRISES TALENT ny 1EATING
OUT FRED THE KID.


ed at the state fair the talent would have
gone broke yesterday. There was not
4 horseman to be found who did not
think that the 2:1S pacing race for the
5000 purse, guaranteed by ST. Paul bust
ness men, the premier event of the week,
did not lay between Kassel and Fred
the Kid. 1t was to be a race of father
against son. for KaSsel, eleven years old.
with public performance of 2:0612, and
a winning eighth heat paced in 2:0Sl4 to
his credit, is the sire of Fred the Kid,
five years old, with record of 2GSA.
Dick Turpin, owned by NJ E. CARING, of
st. PsUl, with a mark of 2:O9A. it was
conceded, might win, if the other two
happened to drop dead. Although c.
F. w, the black horse owned by NJ. H.
Sullivan, Of La Crosse, had also rec
ord OF 2:l0A, he was hardly 20 be taken
into consideration, for was he not beaten
out Tuesday squareIy by Dell S, in
race in which the best time made was
2:lG12, and wasn't it a sure thing that
the winner of this race must go in z:1o or
better?
The unexpected happened. of course
and &. T. w. took the race by capturing
the third, fourth and fifth heats. beating
haSSel and Fred the Kid, while Dick
Turpin came last in the first heat and
was withdrawn. c. f. w. made the
fastest time of the race, too, 2:G9A, an
equivalent at least Z.VO on q last TRACK
for the track al Hamline is old, hard and
cuppy. and needs a top dressing sadly to
make it elastic.
1t was a splendid performance for
both horse and driver and those who
understood the situation were unstinted
in their enthusiasm. The crowd saw
only q spirited race, with big field of
twelve starters, which swept around
the turn, strung out on the back stretch
and disappeared from view on the back
turn, to Teappear few seconds later in
a struggle for the wire, but the knowing
ones who line up along the rail were
lost in admiration for the generalship Of
Highly, who held Q. F. W. back for two
heats aad then kept in front of the
Boone, Iowa, combination for the ball
ance of the race.
Both Kassel and Fred the Kid were
entered by Ed H. Siedling. Two en-
tries by the same owner are not allow
tie Powers. owned by Aid. John Powers,
OF Chicago, accordingly entered a pro-
test, The statement was made to the
judges in response that Fred the Kid
had been sold two weeks ago to Oscar
Ames, of Wheaton. H., who was to
drive him, C. f. WIS signal victory
probably disposes of the protest, and
nothing more of 1t will be heard but
had either Kassel or the Kid won, the
money might have been tied up.
Fully F25000 people witnessed the race.
The grand stand and bleachers were
packed with humanity. The track was
lined on both sides from the 100-yard post
to the judges stand, and the hillside
above the club house was black with
spectators. Starting Judge 1jams an
nounced that the horses would score
seven in the first row and five in the
second and that G. F. w had drawn the
pole. He further intinlated that he
meant 10 stand no trifiing and that driv-
ers coming out of place would be fined
$40 for the first otfenSe and S25 for the
second That ne meant what ne said
was subsequently attested
STANDING his hT1gJea how
ever. he was obliged to give a bad start
in the first heat. The result of the
heat made the knowing ones nod with
approval. kassell took the lead at the
quarter, with Kitty Powers second and
Fred the Kid third, while c. F. w. fell
back we'll in the rear. On the back
stretch the Kid got. the pole and came
home in dashing style, with Kassell sec
ond and the Chicago mare third The
time, -2;U512, was proof enough that it
w3s hot race. but still there seemed
to be little doubt of the result.
The second heat confirmed the belief
that the Kid was to win, for he kept the
pole all the way around and won by two
lengths, and Theresse Wilkes was sthe
only one Of the field who seemed dispos-
ed to dispute the little family arrange
lnent by beating KasseD out for second
place in the stretch Time, 2:10.
