Good Attendance at Second Meeting Of
Th-0ity Racing Club.
RosBY 3 WINS THE EVENT OF THE DAY
Tony W, BIugen. George Castle and
Black Hawk Take First Money
in other Races of
the Csrd.

Saturday afternoon was an ideal day FOR
the second matinee Of the Tri-City Amateur
Driving club and almost twice as many peo-
pie we're at the track as there were at the
initial meeting. The horses were IN better
condition and faster time was made, and
Of the i've events pulled of every one was
a redhot affair and full Of interest and
excitement.
One Of the most interesting events on the
program was the one-half mile trot. 2:2O
class, between Polly Fox. Robby B. and
Sunlight. Polly Fox drew the pole, but
lost Il to Robby at the quarter, who kept
It and the lead until the home stretch
was reached, Sunlight bringing up the rear
with lots OF space to spare. Young Thomas,
Polly FoI's driver. brought bis horse down
the stretch like a veteran and won with
not enough daylight between her and Rob-
by B. to light a shanty. In the secona
and third heats OF this race HOBBY B.
won and at no time in the race were the
two horses far enough apart TO foreshadow
the result.
In the second event, a 2:sO pace, half
mile heats, Jeska wouldn't make an effort
without hobbies and the pace became a
running match between Governor Taylor
and Blugen. Both horses broke repeatedly.

under the wire In a run and in the second
and third both came under in a run with
BluEen a nose ahead. In the third heat Of
this Dunn was allowed to hobble Jeska and
try her without being given a place. The
little mare braced up under the hobbies
like a cyclone and came out so far ahead
Of the other two that it looked like a one
horse race.
In the fifth event Buck Keith started
Lizzie B. like a winner and the little animal
did show good stun and landed the first heat
with room to spare, but in the second and
third she broke when she shouldn't and
Black Hawk carried of the race.
In the special pace for track horses, mile
heats, George Castle won two straight heats
in sensational runs. Early Morn drew the
pole and the horses lined out, with Early
Morn way to the good, Jessie King and
Black Strath doing team work In the middle
and George Castle so far behind at the
half that he looked like a dray horse. He
gradually passed the middle horses, who
were going neck-and-neck, and lined up
alongside OF Early Morn. For a quarter
the two horses kept up the pace. but
coming down the home stretch, George Cas-
tie moved away from Early Morn like a
ghost and the little gray finished last, with
Black Strath and Jessie Killing nose and nose
for second. The same performance was re-
peated in the second heat. The next meet
ing will be In Council Bluffs June Z. Sum-
