Heating s. Hecker's Fast Horse Kits the
Talent Hard at Hawthorne Saturday.

Baird, Heating & Hecker's race
horse which has held Kenosha money
in allegiance for the larger part of the
season, was due to win Saturday, and
the horse certainly delivered the goods
in a manner to make his owners smile
at their victory. Baird was slated in
the first race, distance a mile and
twenty yards, and after poor start he
went ahead and led the field all around
the track. The time was 1:42A. This
is a second and quarter better than
the track record, and Baird is at pres
ent the hero of Hawthorne Park.
AS a result of the victory of Baird
some few Kenosha sports, who had not
become Disguised with following the
racer, have money to spend today. The
purse was $40O and generous side bets
were added to bring the winning of
the owners of the horse up to a much
larger figure.

of the new proprietors of the Gazette.
