Second Race-Road Race.
First heat-FOur horses owned in
Luzerne county started in this race.
Irving r. had the pole, Frank ColeN
was second. Big Jim third and Dan NJ
fourth. This horse was of dirty
white color and had a sprawling stride
that gave him clumsy appearance.
The heats were only half mile ones,
best three in five. After scoring six
times the word was given to a good
start. The big buckskin horse started
right in from the jump to win the heat
and was five lengths in the lead before
the first furlong pole was reached. The
other three We're strung out at wide
intervals. At the quarter Dan NJ was
away ahead. Big Jim being the closest
to him. The cream colored horse won
the half-mile heat in hollow fashion,
Big Jim second, Irving B. third and
Frank Cooley fourth. Time of heat,
116.
Second heat-There was a tedious de-
lay due to the field not being properly
placed while scoring. At last the
starter got tired and gave the word.
Dan NJ, the pole horse, was length
behind and was cut off at the time,
causing him to break badly. AT the
quarter Frank Cooley was in the lead,
three lengths ahead of Irving b., with
Dan NJ. third. At the fifth furlong the
cream horse began to make up the
lost ground and caught and passed Ir-
wing r. a hundred feet from the wire.
The journey was too short, however.
and Frank Cooley won the heat by
neck from Dan. Time of heat, 1.15R.
Third heat-The start was a poor
one, Frank Cooley being behind. At
the turn Frank broke and Dan NJ. and
Irving B. went ahead. Dan led only
a little way, and at the quarter Irving
p. was in front, with Frank Cooley
second and Dan third, ten lengths
back. Coming into the stretch the
y
but was pocketed half way up and
could not get by the first two. Irving
B. won this heat by neck. Frank
Cooley was second half length to the
good of Dan NJ. Each of the three
heats had been taken by different
horse at this stage. Bets were freely
made that Dan would win the race

crowd. due to Frank Cooley
being taken to the stable to have some
repairs made to his gearing. Then
there were more scores before the small
field got away. The start was the best
so far Although Dan was the last to
go under the wire he had passed all the
rest before the quarter was reached
and led Irving b. by half length. Big
Jim was third. half IA score of lengths
back. The half was finished on jog
by the cream horse, three lengths in
front or irving, with Jim a poor third |
Time, 1.16%.
Fifth heat-Again poor start. The
big cream horse set out the pace at
once and was never headed, finishing
