stretch was reached. Lee J had speed
to burn and passed the leader in the
stretch. The others were trailing
along behind, none Of them having
ghost of show of winning. The
third heat was easy for Lee j. Wilkes
Girl finished second in the last heat.
2:2O PACE.
This proved to be the most inter-
esting race of the day. White Wings
was picked as the good thing in the
pools. Rosebud was second choice and
the balance sold in the field. AS soon
as the word was given, White Wings
went to the front. He held his position
for only moment, as Rosebud nipped
him on the first turn. DR.. Bennie was
going good and down the stretch, the
first time around, the race was pref
ty one. On the last turn DR.. Bennie
broke and Rosebud had matters her
own way. White Wings finished
fourth.
1t was evident that AL. McGregor
had been laying up and the book
makers refused to post heavy odds
against him. Rosebud made a bad
break on the first turn and DR.. Bennie
took the lead. Rosebud soon recovered
and tried hard to regain her former
position but she did not have the speed
to do it. Again AL. McGregor was
taking things easy, finishing away back
in fourth position.
DR.. Bennie was now looked upon
as IL pretty good proposition and con
| siderable money was laid Oh him. He
looked like sure enough winner until
the horses headed into the home stretch.
On the upper turn he had made Il few
skips that cost him a length and DR..
Bennie was two lengths to the good.
Coming down to the wire, McGregor
opened up and paced like u world
beater He passed the Dr. near the
finish, winning by a head.
The next two heats were easy, al
though every other driver in the race
tried to get past him. In the last
heat Lady Wilton got tangled ur
with her rigging and fell in the bach
stretch. She was not injured. The
