RACES FOR RUNNERS
CARD FOR TODAY OFFERS GREAT
SPORT FOR VISITORS.
ONE OR TWO HARNESS HEATS.
EVERYTHING ELSE WILL BE FOR
RUNNERS AT THE TRACK.


Mile Running Enjoyed by the
Crowd-2,22 Pace to BE Concluded
To-day-Three Dashes and One
Heat Rnce on the Running Card.
Races start Promptly at L O'Clock
To-day.
Three harness and three running
events were witnessed by the crowd
at the State Fair yesterday. All were
well repaid for their visit, save, posi-
bly,, the losers, and the great sport
was enjoyed TO the utmost. The crowds
have labored under the most intense
excitement every day during the races.
and the prophecy that the horses would
be the most attractive feature of the
Fair is being fulfilled.
Not so large a crowd witnessed the
races as on Saturday, due, it was said,
to the opposition of the circus, which
drew many people who would have
gone to the races. 1t is expected that
to-day's races, however, will counter
act this falling off, for everything on
the card, with one exception, is run
ming.
The regular card consists of four
running races, but the 2:22 class pac-
ing. remained unfinished and will be
the first on the programme to-day. The
races will begin promptly at 1 O'Clock,
and the officials will strive to have as
short waits as possible between races
and heats.
