lspeed and Dan r. took three straight
heats and the race.

heats. each of which was bitterly

ted an easy mile in the first heat,
which was won by Border in slow time
The next two went to Leola, who trot-
ted the third in 210h, reducing her record
| n full second. The fast mile was too
much for her and she could not get IN
again. Dan r.. always a contender aztec
