| cid and familiar favorite on the Fair
| field track. she made strong fight
| for the race but Fay Dean was too
much for her in this race and after the
| first heat it was a fight between this
| mare and kentucky Frank for second
place. Bay Dean is also familiar in the
| town as he raced here some last sea-
| son. kentucky Frank was after him
| 1T times. and then it would be Linnie
| G. trying to push by him. But he man
aged to keep ahead all the time and
| took every heat. Lancey went off his
| hooks in the last heat and trailed in
| at the tail end.
| The last heat of this class was the
| fastest of the three and was just 30
| IL was a good race.
| There were seven starters in the 80
| class and some warm work was eX

| before. She took the heat handily but
Laura 3. managed to poke her nose
under the wire first in the next two

WAS considcra BILE running among them
md it was difficult to tell who would
