excellent.
Two stake events were on the card six
horses starting In each. Withdrawals cut
down the field of runners named for the
Daisy stakes, five furlongs, on the grass

such an easy thing that, In spite Of the fact
that Sir VOORHEES, had won good stake the
day before for the J. B. Haggin stable, his
trainer was tempted to add him as start
er, and Sir VOORHEES, promptly was made an
odds-on favorite, while Mladi Love, an
other added starter, also was heavily
backed. Whether not Sir VOORHEES, was
good his stable seemed to think him,
the race gave him chance to show, for
he was unlucky In getting away back in
the crowd and in the hustle for position
was cut off and knocked back and out of
the contest. Roxboro. the last outsider in
the betting, broke well up, and, with plen-
ty of speed to take advantage Of 1t, raced

LAWSON DEFEATED LEANDER
A Burst Tire Put the Latter Out Of
the Race on the Fourth Mile.

Managers OsgOod and KlOsterman of the
Coliseum have another hard luck story
to tell. 1t wasn't the rain last night but
burst tire that destroyed all chances Of
hrst-ciass race between the pace followers,
Leander and Lawson. The Coliseum man
agement recognized the fact that both these
men appeared to be about equal a to speed
on the wheel and match was made They
came together last night at the Coliseum
in ffteen-mile straightaway race The two
riders got away from the starting point in
splendid shape, and for three miles raced
around the bowl at a clipping good speed,
but about twelve feet separating them all
the way, and it was foregone conclusion
that great finish fight would result When
half way around the bowl on the first lap
Of the fourth mile Leanders rear tire ex-
ploded with a report like a rife. and before
he could stop, secure a new wheel and re-
mount, Lawson had gone to the front and
was leading by fully a mile When the &C
cident happened Leander was in the lead
and gave indications of being IN great form
Lawson snapped at the opportunity of win
ming the race when the tire exploded and
rode like the wind for the remaining eleven
miles. Leander made game effort to re-
gain his lost ground, but the task was a
hopeless one. especially as Lawson hung
on to him like grim death and finished the
fifteen miles In %. 10 10.
Other races on the card were. single mo-
tors at five miles and three miles between
a double and single motor These events
were unusually exciting on account of the
close finishes.
There was a big crowd present all the
grand stand and bleacher seats being occu-
pied, conservative estimate putting the
attendance at 1000
An exciting and thrilling exhibition of

this reason was more heartily applauded

back over the hind wheel, and then easily
made his way back to the little platform
at the top of the pole.
Mr.. Hill then apologized for not finishing
his act. explaining the cause, and when the
crowd realized how eleverly he had crawled
out of trying position 1t applauded him to
the echo. Any one at all familiar with
wheel can realize what the dismounting on
single wire meant to Hill last night.
